If Trump wins, and especially if he wins bigly, what do we do with the polls and media?

There has to be consequences or they are just going to escalate. Do we petition Trump to go after them? They will hide behind 1A and I think 1A is important but these people have crossed the line from free speech to manipulation. Can we get the slander and libel protections for public figures thrown out?

I don’t know if freedom of the press includes trafficking in blatant partisan propaganda that favors only one side and actively seeks to deceive the public.

The bigger issue is, why are there so many ignorant to or so willing to go along with such obvious bias?

Don’t tune into the networks. Kill their ratings.

Backed by rich liberals, they are immune to ratings.

They really do need to be reorganized. But if they are private businesses, they can do what they do. The American people need to take it upon themselves to force them to be neutral. Look at the NBA being down as bad as they are... they will be forced to change. Same has to happen for the media.

Right? I can't believe fox news has been allowed to do that for so long.

Not really, CNN, Fox, MSNBC all receive money regardless if you watch or not. Your cable bill has them included in it.

Just heard the Real Clear Politics guy on the radio talking about how Trump is behind and has a lot of ground to make up and very little time to do it with so much early voting going on. So, it's over. We can all just stay home.

you cannot be this dumb alter. whose alter are you?

fox was polled lately at reporting both sides around 50-50 coverage. whilst the garbage networks above i listed were 92% in the tank for democrats. suck on that.

If we win this election after the way the media acts, and the polls are slanted, then why do we need to worry? They aren’t working then.
I know it would be great to get back to a time when news just reported news, and didn’t try and create, or a time when you could disagree with another person and still be in the same room, but I don’t see that happening.

I thought intent to deceive was considered fraud?
