Does The Media Falsely Portray Trump?

Which media are you talking about? Fox News? CNN?

Are you are talking about "the Media" in the same sense that you talk about "the Man"?

In the general sense of "the Media", yes, they do have a bias. But it is a bias which has been created and cultivated by Trump himself. He has sought these reactions from the media in order to make people believe that "You can't trust the media".... which should actually be read as "You can't trust the media UNLESS they say something good about me." And literally millions of people buy into this narrative.

But this narrative is nothing new. People on the extreme Right have been chanting this since the Vietnam War. At that time, the narrative was "We are losing this war because the Media is riling up kids against it!". But not to single out the Right. Soon-to-be-former Blue Dog Democrats in the South were railing against the Media even before this claiming that the Northern media was "riling up them there negroes."

But, personally, I like to read the magazines at the checkout counter of the grocery: the National Enquirer, Star, etc. They always have something good to say about Trump and something bad to say about Evil Hillary.
