re: Do y'all remember when the media was treating Trump great during the primaries?

Remember it well. Coverage of Trump was 95%, all other republicans split the remainder.
And they were friendly to him, he would call in and the hosts would thank him and wish him well... then when he won enough primaries to gain the nomination, it all changed and the snakes came out hissing and spewing the venom that hasn't stopped.

Once Trump became the presumptive nominee, it was game on after that and they went full bore and I felt it was over after that.
obviously the amount of scrutiny is going to be less when it wasn't just focused all on him

That's proof of the media being manipulative rather than reporting on the news.
Media has always been that. Trying to shape history.
When Hearst Artist Frederic Remington, cabled from Cuba in 1897 that "there will be no war," William Randolph Hearst cabled back: "You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war."
MSM are global corporations.
They are globalists. In it for profit.

Salmon, you just don't remember. This was being pointed out as the primaries were going on.
It was also pointed out when he became he nominee how the media just flipped the switch seemingly on day 1 and went into all-out attack mode.
This was all pointed out at the time and isn't just me making shite up.

Remember the leaked Clinton campaign email that their strategy was to elevate Trump, Carson, and Cruz because they saw them as the easiest R's to defeat in the general election?
Ya think press treatment of Trump during the primary had anything to do with the Clinton strategy? Hmmmm

Trump got 2 billion dollars in free media that he didn't have to pay for meanwhile the other candidates were struggling to raise money for paid media in TV appearances. They were clearly propping Trump up.
Remember when CNN started (He did) in their graphics? That was after he became presumptive.
It's not even debatable. They turned on Trump the moment he became presumptive.

I agree with salmon about this.
I don't remember a single presstitute in the MSM actively supporting President Trump when he was campaigning to be the Republican candidate for POTUS.
They constantly called him a clown and laughed at him right from the start for thinking he had any chance to be the Republican candidate for POTUS let alone win the presidency.

No, see that's the thing. They all treated him like a clown at first. Fox never stopped. The rest of the media started to pretend to take him seriously as the primaries went on.
They weren't actively supporting him. But they weren't going after him either. When I say they treated him "great", that's a relative term.
They were going after Ted Cruz harder than they were going after Trump.
But once he won the nomination, the mainstream media went after him like rabid dogs.

Meh, the presstitutes in the MSM gave President Trump all that free air time because they thought laughing and ridiculing him would destroy any chance he had to be the Republican candidate for POTUS.
Unfortunately for them, it had the opposite effect.

The pressitutes in the MSM were sure that Jeb was going to be the Republican candidate for POTUS so they thought they didn't have to give him or the other people running any airtime.
Therefore, they focused on President Trump to ridicule him and the Republican Party for even letting Trump run for the Republican candidate for POTUS.

That whole pied piper candidate thing is the richest and most ironic blunder of the Dems in an election that was chock a block full of Dem blunders.

Complete BS really. THey went complete bonkers when he called for Muslim ban, after that they tried to kill him but couldn't.. Remember they covered his rallies looking for fights, when he called out John McCain they tried to kill him and couldn't...

No, I don't remember this. They gave him tons of air time in the primary because he was the only one saying anything interesting. They thought broadcasting his 'crazy rants' would destroy him.

Joe and Mika were the only ones I remember being cordial or fair during the primary.
On Fox Hannity and the girl who was "let go" were the only two on the Trump train.
Everyone else at Fox, MSNBC, and all of CNN never missed an opportunity to trash him.

No it wasn't. I was anti Trump, and it's 100% correct that they were much harsher on him once he secured the nomination. I mean, don't act like you paid attention.

This has been a Democrat/MSM tactic for years. During the primaries they prop up the Republican that they want to face in general election. Then once he gets the nomination, they turn on him. They did it with McCain and Romney. This time it backfired on them. A blind man can see it, unless you're a lib.
