Dead Constitution See other Dead Constitution Articles Title: Media Bias for Hillary Media Bias for Hillary by Stephen Lendman Its old news supported by newly released Center for Public Integrity (CPI) information. More on this below. Campaigning yesterday in Colorado, Trump called media scoundrels more crooked than crooked Hillary - again saying Novembers election is rigged. Ignore mainstream reports, he urged. (R)ead the Internet instead. In North Carolina, Trump running mate Mike Pence explained this years presidential election isnt a fair fight (because major) media (are) doing half of Hillary Clintons work for her every day. A previous article explained Google support for Hillary. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg one- sidedly backs her, deleting negative comments about her - claiming they dont follow the Facebook Community Standards, part of its war on free expression. According to CPI, more than 96% of individuals identified as journalists in federal campaign finance filings contributed $396,000 to Hillarys campaign - compared to about $14,000 for Trump. Federal candidates only need disclose contributions exceeding $200 during each electoral cycle, including names of donors. Its likely many more journalists contributed to the Clinton and Trump campaigns below the radar, their names and amounts unknown. Supporting one presidential candidate over another assures biased coverage. The New York Times is a virtual Hillary press agent. Yet its ethics handbook prohibits political donations, saying (a)ny political giving by a Times staff member would carry a great risk of feeding a false impression that the paper is taking sides - stated with tongue in cheek when it comes to Hillary. Journalists contributing to campaigns of political candidates theyre covering reveal a clear conflict of interest - an unacceptable ethical breach, compromising their integrity - a quality sorely absent in mainstream reporting. Trump spokesman Jason Miller told CPI were witnessing the single biggest coordinated media attack in political history
He called its anti-Trump biased hit pieces
in-kind contributions, (far) exceed(ing) their maximum allowable gift limits a long time ago. Its hard disagreeing, this years presidential coverage overwhelmingly one-sided - an unprecedented display of deplorable media bias for Hillary, a woman physically, ethically, morally and emotionally unfit to serve.
