re: #470 Weaselone

The one thing I don’t get about this is that all of the Networks and major media players have reporters following the campaign and attending Trump’s rallies. All of these reporters get verbally abused and threatened by Trump’s crowds at rallies. Members of the press get harassed by his army of deplorables on Twitter and yet the actual coverage of the campaigns continues as it it were a normal campaign. The press continues to cover Hillary’s emails as if they were somehow important. I just don’t get the disconnect between the media coverage of the two campaigns and the reporters experiences covering them and the newspaper endorsements of Hillary.

The reporters are professionals who will go to get a scoop and their managers don’t care that they’re sending their staff into harms way to cover a dangerous lunatic who is steadily legitimizing violence against them. It’s all about horserace ratings $$$ kerching.
