        Deal. As long as the Media also puts sufficient pressure on Clinton for breaking the law.

        Which they don't. It's actually amazing that each side views the media as biased against their candidate.

        wants us to vote for the corrupt candidate over the loose canon. How about covering Johnson more?

        thinks NatSec info found on unauthorized server, designed to avoid FOIA laws, is in the realm of "stretching" the truth?

        Partisan Cohen can’t even try to interpret Trump charitably or accurately. E.g. of media acting badly:http://www.infowars.com/shock-video-shows-cnn-msnbc-embracing-role-as-surrogates-of-clinton-campaign/ …

        Correct the same mistake was made by the #leave vs #remain campaign, equal treatment of unequal truths.

        Mainstream media overwhelmingly identifies as left, yet they're still not proving left enough for Harvard? Why?

        Only in US. Beyond that, FNC is only a single outlet. Mainstream media plus academia is proud to be left. Ask Pinker...

        "mainstream media" is a loaded term. Esp. when Fox has more viewers than CNN and MSNBC combined. Can't get more mainstream.

        You try to deconstruct, very boring. You know what mainstream is: ABC, NBC, CBS, late night shows function as media + newspapers.

        show me evening news clips that are blatant left from ABC NBC CBS. I'll wait here.
