Even 1/3 (32%) of Clinton voters believe the media were “pro-Clinton.”

And now they continue to show their stupidity by carrying negative comments about Trump joining his family for dinner without telling them beforehand. What immature whiners!

I believe the media pundits are saying exactly what has been written for them to say. They read scripts which are prepared by the editors. The editors understand completely what their bosses (owners) want them to say on air.

It is all theatre.
