It goes back to my prior post. It's stunning to me the on-going disparity between Trump's primary results, his polling results which continue to close the gap on Clinton, packing convention halls when he's campaigning, etc., and the media's near universal contempt. Its even more striking - using yesterday's acceptance speech as an example. Most major media panned Trump's speech - even using exactly the same words sometimes to do it. Yet, CNN's viewer polling - and I can't imagine CNN's viewership dominated by Republicans - showed favorable responses.
And the MSM has it right. Trump is dangerous and an affront to our constitution and our nation's principles. To even treat this fascist buffoon with anything other than contempt is doing the nation a disservice.
