A question about amount of coverage ?

Last edited Fri Aug 26, 2016, 01:44 AM - Edit history (1)

Which issues have been covered more?

Hillary's emails and the Clinton Global Initiative?

Or Donald Trumps ties to foreign banks, including Russia and China, and his refusal to make public his tax returns?

Does anyone know if one has gotten more coverage than the other about these specific issues?

Are these issues where we should expect the media to be fair and balanced?

If Hillary's emails and the Clinton charity are fair game, should not Trump's ties to Russia and China and his tax returns also be fair game? And should they not be reported with the same passion and enthusiasm?

Up to this point, in my opinion, the media has not pressed Trump on these issues as much as they have pressed Hillary on her emails and the CGI. Also, in my opinion, the press cannot make the argument that Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin is not as important as Clinton's emails. And they cannot argue that Hillary's relationship with the Clinton Global Initiative is more important than whether Trump is indebted to foreign governments and foreign banks?

That is the problem I have with the media at this time. They have no sense of proportion.

Who is not interested in Trump's relationship with Putin and Russia? It seems to be in our national interest?
