Network news is a business and it's totally divorced from the idea of informing the populace. The reason they cover Trump is that he's good for ratings. Ratings mean advertisers and advertisers mean dollars.

Is there a difference between David Duke and Donald Trump?

I've given this some more thought and I've changed my mind about this incident.

Why the double standard?

Trump has every right to have someone who is deliberately disrupting his event removed.

Anyone remember the "Don't Taze me Bro" incident which was at a Kerry event?

The only thing disturbing about the Trump incident is that members of the general audience got into it.

This should have been handled exclusively by the event's security people.

New York accent and bad hair. Otherwise, nothing of any significance.

Did you know that Trump's father got arrested for participating in a Klan riot in New York?

The apple sure didn't fall far from the tree in that family.

State Sen. Marty Knollenberg says his comments were misinterpreted.

Quote:
A Michigan state lawmaker has come under fire for responding to data showing educational disparities by saying "we can't make an African-American white."

State Sen. Marty Knollenberg (R) made the comment during a hearing Thursday after seeing state data breaking down academic performance among different demographic groups. The data indicated most students who were struggling were students of color, Knollenberg later told WXYZ Detroit.

"You mention why these schools districts fail, and you mention economically disadvantaged and non-white population are contributors to that. And we can’t fix that. We can’t make an African-American white," he said at the meeting. "That's just, it is what it is."

Of course not. As the old geek saying puts it, it's not a bug, it's a feature.

Repeating myself, Trump is the ugly American candidate for the ugly American constituency.
