    CNN was really bad about this in 2016:

    “Here we are outside the Trump rally due to take place in about six hours now…”

    Meanwhile, Sanders blows the roof off with 30,000 people. CNN? Silence.

    The joke I was telling back then was Trump couldn’t pass gas without live coverage on CNN with talking heads discussing if it were more “fruity” or “nutty”.

      CNN wanted Trump over Bernie, Trump gave them more views and Bernie would be an upset to the status quo.

      I’ve also been saying this for a while. If the people who hate him quit talking about him, they will quit advertising for him. Let him be forgotten. I honestly hear significantly more people and news media who are against him, talking about him, than I do people in favor of him. Don’t let him live in your head rent free. Talk about the person who you DO want as president. Talk about the things that are important to you, that your candidate is for. Don’t talk about the other guy. Let his name fade into history.
