This would be true if the media did it the same for both sides.  Appearances seem to suggest they do not.  

 

I agree that the media appears to lean politically Left, but the fact that many people seem to be aware of this is one of the reasons journalists rank near the bottom of most trusted professions, because even reporters supposedly reporting the facts seem to be editorializing their stories.

I agree with you to a certain extend. There is too much editorializing with certain news but again, when someone gives fodder to the journalists with their
 off the wall talk and actions what does one expect. You can't have it both ways and I am speaking directly about how the media treats Trump.
He seems to crave attention, even if it is negative and as long as he is in the headlines every day he is thrilled.
He said that is what he wanted, stay in the headlines as a candidate. He did. He still does.

please make your case for how corrupt Obama was

As far as not getting my vote, I've already made that case on these forums regarding his AT&T connections and his complete 180 on warrantless wiretaps/spying on Americans. Up until the DNC I had been considering voting for him. If you want a laundry list, you'd have to make your case as to why the effort of typing it out would be worth it.

So you get to come in and take a dump in the middle of the room and it is everyone else's job to explain how sweet it smells?  No thanks...you made the allegation..put up or shut up.

I have no idea what you're talking about for almost all of this post, but I did get a good chuckle out of the part in bold.. I think you might want to relax there.

I don't disagree with the fact that President Trump has an ego and craves attention.  I think this is a prerequisite for almost anyone running for POTUS. The point is how the media covers them.  President Obama, and candidate Hillary also provided a lot of fodder to the media.  Heck, has any candidate before Hillary had as much negative baggage?  So with both sides providing political fodder, why does it seem so apparent that the media covers them differently?  It smacks of partisanship, which in my opinion was one of the reasons a lot of middle America decided to vote for Trump warts and all.

If what the left wanted was a humble President why did they vote for Hillary? 

 

Obviously these personal standards are fabricated entirely because Trump is President.

I hate to break it to you but it was your party, Bush to be exact who initiated the NSA wiretapping program 6 weeks after 9/11.
Obama kept it in place. There is a nice little documentary about it I watched many years ago NOVA on PBS broadcasted it.
You may still find it, it disappeared for a while but came back. All about ATT too, right smack in the middle of the heratland, MO.
Now Trump is complaining about it but is also not doing a thing about it.

Never mentioned he will stop it, he was just  just pissed it got him too.
Proof your claim that Obama was the most corrupt president with facts not senseless accusations.

I have to disagree, Trump offers way more fodder than anyone, the daily drama carousel keeps turning. I was hoping it would let up. Nope.

Trump being president does not proof it.
Who said "humble" show me where anyone said humble.
Sane is more like it.

No, proof your claim that Bush did not initiate NSA wiretapping for broad sweep data gathering.

You said Obama started it. You are wrong.
