JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE REASON THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON TRUMP WAS NOT WIDELY REPORTED


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT


The good old mainline press has learned its lesson.

No more big coverage for Trump.

His rise was so spectacular that it generated a lot of press, and of course, as is always the case, the coverage assisted his rise.

He'll be treated the way Bernie was treated - documented in a recent Harvard School of Government study - with the press simply failing to talk of him at key times.

There are only about a half dozen key news sources in the US, and they all favor the Hillary camp.

This is just one of many reasons you cannot call America a democracy in any meaningful sense.
