Will the negative Trump coverage by the mainstream media backfire?

Question

There was a time where I had doubts that there was any sort of blatant Trump bias by the mainstream media save a few news anchors here and there, but now that bias is becoming so wide-spread, so evident that I think you'd have to be either ignorant of the truth or not paying attention to the news to know that whether you agree with Trump or not, there is some kind of bias against Mr Trump by the mainstream media in this election.

Whether you're online on the Washington Post, or watching CNN, all Trump coverage is negative coverage and anytime the audience cheers for Trump as we saw in the 2nd debate, Anderson Cooper tells the audience no applause please, but when Hillary got the applause prior, he said nothing to tell the audience to be quiet.

I actually applaud this coverage because I think it's going to help Trump more than harm him and I really mean it. I think some of you like me, may have had your doubts, but now that the bias is becoming so clear and widespread, it's clear this is more about Republicans winning or Democrats winning-- this is about keeping the status-quo in place and making sure we have another career politician in place.

There's a reason why Hillary won't put any money to fund her own campaign and rather relies on special interests and wealthy donors, she has to do their bidding and there's a reason why these very same donors won't donate to Trump: They want someone they can control, they want to keep the rigged system in place.

And honestly I wasn't initially going to vote because as a libertarian, I didn't feel motivated enough to vote for either major party candidate. But I'm getting so disgusted with this bias and fear-mongering that I might just go out and vote for Trump because I'm sick and tired of being treated like a sheep. Trump is a bit of a wild card, and there are certain unknowns but I'm so disgusted with career politicians like Hillary Clinton who take millions of dollars from wall street and then preach that those contributions don't influence her and she is a supposed 'champion' of the middle class. Heck, there's a reason why no Hillary Clinton supporters touts her own accomplishments and rather just talks about Trump. She doesn't any accomplishments, Every foreign policy decision she had made has been a disaster and this notion that Trump will support WW3 is unfounded because Hillary has been right there to support every single invasion overseas from Iraq to Libya, she's more of a war hawk than Obama is honestly.

It's not bias, its facts coming out about him.  And his mouth.  No one's all going over every thing he's written or said for weeks like they do about Clinton and lying to the point where the truth has gotten lost under the lies.  He's in court in several states.
That's fact.  His history in business, something easy enough to check since he was in court over three thousand times, is spotty.  His taxes secret.You think there was no bias because they just swallowed whatever he said without looking at its veracity.
And many don't wake up until the debates, and since then they've seen what they've seen and heard him say, change or be denied, and they're not happy about it.

It's like Trump doesn't care what anyone thinks. He really is his own worst enemy. He says the worst sh*t possible, and his fans eat it up and the media says "Can you believe he said that?" Face it, He Is A Clown. Are you going to vote for a CLOWN?????

Is the "media" to blame for the GOP freak-out over the Trump tape?

Beardog · Answer

It's not a bias. You just can't tell his story honestly without making him look bad, because he really is that bad.
