Report: ABC, CBS, NBC cover Trump 'scandals' 4-1 over Clinton's

Much has been made of all the free media Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has received, but a watchdog report out Monday finds that much of the coverage has been negative and that ABC, CBS and NBC have covered his controversies more than Hillary Clinton's by a 4-to-1 margin.

The Media Research Center analysis of 1,099 presidential election stories from January 1 to June 7 found that Trump did indeed dominate coverage, getting nearly half of the total airtime. The networks spent 1,068 minutes on Trump out of a total of 2,137 minutes overall on the race.

The report from MRC Research Director Rich Noyes found that much of that time was focused on Trump "scandals" and controversies.

Guccifer email hacks found emails showing collusion between DNC, Clinton campaign and MSM. Is this really all that shocking? Regardless, her crimes are so vast and blatant it's getting to a point where they can't cover anymore. Besides on 8% of population really believes in the media anymore. Why? Because their collusion propaganda is so blatant it can be missed!

One thing is they're giving Trump a lot more face time. And in the end that's what going to drive his points home. Clinton is ducking and covering because her record sucks. She has no defense for her malfeasance against America.

I wish conservatives were more radical and targeted the media.

If this is true the reason is all these years that the conservatives have been crying wolf without a conviction. Trump is fresh meat. yum-yum.
