Coverage of Hillary email issue versus Trump crime spree was eye opening! The media has contributed to this dumbing down and heated separation from reality. Acceptance of trump’s malignancy is shameful in a country where the media prides itself on discovering truth and maintaining integrity and fairness. For those of us identifying female, as is said of late, we know the double standards from our own personal lives but even with that, this information about media coverage disparity shocked me. Thanks for keeping us informed.

And where are all the comments from the press about Trump’s age? He is the oldest presidential candidate in history and yet now that Biden’s out of the race we don’t hear one word about Trump’s age and his obvious infirmities.

Perhaps we have been missing a fundamental truth; those who like Trump, are like Trump. Alternately.,those who are like Trump, like Trump.

Since changing Trump rationally seems unlikely, changing his following also seems unlikely.

Being unable to invoke change rationally, perhaps it is enough to enforce the laws that are being violated.

Do we have the fortitude to forbear the time it takes to invoke change through the legal process?

We must have the fortitude and the concern for our friends, neighbors, fellow citizens, and all humans to enforce the laws that have been and continue to be flagrantly ignored. I am afraid there are still many Americans who want to "stay out of politics" and refuse to vote or just do not care.

I feel like my country is slipping away. I don’t understand how people can vote for Trump. I have contributed, volunteered and voted already. It’s out of my control now and it’s a terrible feeling.

The best ever is the Media cutting their own throats. Don’t they realize they won’t have any jobs at all if God forbid we become a totalitarian state there won’t be any media that’s not government regulated and who’s gonna get those jobs probably not them. I guess they’re not gonna be the ruling class anymore and they better watch their backs, they’ve been very foolish very foolish and not reporting the truth. They have 10 days to get it done.

The polls and the journalists mentioned in this episode make me wonder why so many Americans favor Trump. Am I missing something? Reading Andrew Sullivan's latest article makes a case for Harris to change her style and her interviews. Avoiding those outlets who may not be so forgiving with some of her vague answers may not be the right strategy for her. at this point.

Well, when you compare Trump's 24/7 posting by Trump in social media, which becomes our daily news, to Harris' normal amount of social and news interaction, I guess one could say she's not as active in news interaction.

There's probably a bit of sensationalism at play here too. The media has been following every crazy thing he's Tweeted over the past eight years, but hasn't given the same treatment to sane, rational candidates like Kamala Harris. Maybe they, and the public in general, just thing they are too boring. Maybe just a little bit too much like us. Not like the unhinged dumpster fire that is Trump, which is just playing into his campaign philosophy of any publicity is good publicity.

Let's get off subscriptions to these main stream news manipulators and openly undemocratic social media platforms like X. Stop supporting anti-democratic businesses and their owners ... If you have a Tesla or worse, think about buying one, consider that the CEO is openly calling for civil war in democratic countries, supports oligarchy across the world, and cozies up to white supremacy and racists. Consumers like voters have a lot of power - let's use it!

At least put a sticker on your Tesla that reads that you bought the car before you knew #EvilElon was crazy ...
