The pro Trump media were much smaller in size, and they were anti trump to begin with I believe.... This is what I believe, the media industry is so f'#ked they are way behind the general public mood....politicians are also way behind the general public mood...Trump merely exposed that...as we know, he is no genius....as we know, he has a tendency to think great of himself...it was always going to be a guy like that who would have the neck to go for it....otherwise Americans were looking at a Bush / Clinton race which clearly they didn't have the stomach for. You can see it here in this country....Irish media are way behind the people in a myriad of ways....so are our politicians.....some time in the future, we will produce a person who will expose that.... Brexit was the British version.... I don't mean this in a patronising way, but I love ordinary people who know what is affecting their daily lives...and who are not afraid of politicians or a media industry that will ridicule them for believing in what they believe in....that takes a lot of balls!!!!

Do you have examples of the world media accusing him of War Crimes, Genocide, Corruption, Rape, Racism, Treason....being a Russian Agent. You state the man got elected despite a negative media campaign, yet the media who broadcast to the majority of the voters for his party and ideals spun everything in his favor and never criticized him. Do you think the pro Trump media was in the wrong also
Silentcorner wrote: » It can be tricky to identify balanced media coverage alright...not a skill many are blessed with.... He has been accused of War Crimes, Genocide, Corruption, Rape, Racism, Treason....being a Russian Agent...plus much much more.... It doesn't take much to cop onto how media distributes content in this day and age...the industry has abandoned balance a long long time ago before Trump decided to run...as a consequence people have abandoned trust in media industry to such an extent media has lost it's ability to influence enough people to make it relevant....this man got elected despite the most ferocious negative media coverage I have ever witnessed....the media industry is now more or less irrelevant...if you can get elected despite the media, the industry is f##ked.....they did it to themselves.

Dare critize Trump?....virtually the entire media establishment in the US and indeed across the Developed world all day everyday for the last 4 years have been critizing (and consistently misrepresenting) every word that he utters....there is nothing daring about critizing him...

It would be much more helpful if we were as obsessed about our own elected leaders as we are about the elected leader of a democracy we don't vote in....who knows we might not have elected the leader of one of the most corrupt political parties in the EU into the highest office in this land...we are not in a position to think we are any better than any American voter.
