They're not supposed to be bias.  If you watch MSNBC and count the number of negative things said about Trump compared to Clinton you'll find they've been unfair to him.

They are supposed to report as many negatives as exist. Not their fault if Trump happens to have more.

That's a matter of opinion.  Most voters think both candidates are bad people, but Trump wins on honesty.

What does honesty have to do with it? If Trump does negative things, then the media should report negatively on him. Same with Clinton. What should the media have reported on that they didn't?

That's a little out of touch with the average voter.  I'm wondering if Trump does things that aren't being reported, how do you know about them?

What are you talking about? What do you think Trump is doing that isn't being reported?

I'm asking you what you'd like to see reported on Trump that hasn't been reported?

He makes for good ratings so they were nice to him but now that he's the nominee he's getting the same treatment we always get.  88% of the press voted for Clinton in a 3 way race in 1992 and 92% for Kerry.  That should take care of any stories or examples of bias.
