CNN has started all out Clinton loving again:

http://edition.cnn.com/politics

"(CNN)Hillary Clinton needs to make Donald Trump unacceptable again."

How do you start an article like that without demonstrating basic editorial bias?

And FoxNews has gone all-out Anti-Clinton

http://www.foxnews.com/politics.html

Clinton Foundation Scam
Emails show Clinton campaign coordinated with State Dept. official before email revelation


It's a poor state of affairs when media is so biased towards their own political ideas of who they want as President.

The tone of both websites is almost like they are presented by the political parties themselves.

The dem-leaning parts of the media really isn't really all that biased. The child rape case isn't even being mentioned, for one. It seems that they are desperately afraid of being perceived as biased.

the media's job should be to report the truth; the truth is extremely biased against trump. much more so than the vast bulk of media coverage has been.

They are being objective. And objectively speaking Trump is a terrible candidate

Is Clinton camp in Trump's pocket?

CNN is ignoring the Clinton Foundations investigation completely.
Fox reported the FBI is likely to indict the Clinton Foundation after they got a hold of a recording.. any news of this on CNN? Nope

The same reason why there were no news with the Russian-Trump connections. It's a flop based on hearsay, but we know you like your double standards.

Yea, they don't. Trump has threatened to take away the press' freedoms so why would they? That doesn't mean they haven't given him the coverage he has deserved. They BUILT him in the primary and have done most of the promoting for him in the general. They also massively covered the e-mail BS even though it was a pushed scam less than 2 weeks before the election. Stop whining.

You must be really naive or brainwashed if you think the email BS is a scam.

Go and look up the information. Comey sent that letter without knowing anything. The device in question is not her server. The person in trouble is not Hillary, it's Huma. Yet, it was spun as something else and here you are vomiting it.

Tom De Lay said that about the emails back before Comey's acnnoucnement in July.

Maybe it would be better said if it was described as "the email BS is BS."

LOL im assuming you haven't read the wikileaks emails if your asking this question. The American people aren't dumb and thats why the media has a lower approval rating of their job than congress, which is pretty sad to say the least.

This election and wikileaks has shown us that journalism is officially dead and the media is just another outlet for liberals to hammer their message home, we will see if it works or not Tuesday. If Trump wins these polling sites and CNN will lose ALL credibility moving forward.

CNN lost all credibility after the 2nd debate.

Anderson Cooper got really pissed when the crowd cheered for Trump and told them to be quiet.

You could feel his obvious bias throughout the event.

cooper said several times that everyone should be quiet....as did holder and wallace.

the worst cooper did to trump was asking him, if he ever touched a woman against her consent.

No, Cooper had a mental fit and sounded like a spoilt 3 year old when he asked them to be quiet.

To give you an example of the "Online Headline" bias:

How long will it take for CNN to cover the latest email dump from the FBI investigation?

ABC - Top Story
CBS News - Top Story
Fox News - Nearly there amongst 10 anti-Clinton news stories

But CNN will not report it. The Editor will have kittens before he or she publishes another online headline saying the words

FBI Clinton Email Investigation

CNN are biased in that they are not reporting on stories which are relevant today.

I dont dispute that Fox has the opposite agenda and tries to help the Republicans. Blind Freddy can see that.

All I am saying is that CNN are just as bad in the constant lean towards a Democratic viewpoint by neglecting to cover ANY negative press on Hillary.

Have a look at their stories:

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/11/02/politics/election-2016-hip-hop-vote-hillary-clinton-donald-trump/index.html

"Rappers prefer Clinton over Trump"

'F%$& Trump, if all votes count, I'm voting for Hillary, f%#& it."

CNN has it's own agenda.
