If they could say "all candidates received roughly X minutes of coverage" I would shrug and say, "Cool." But 234 to 10 is a pretty fucking cray ratio. Agree 100% I started streaming the debates and speeches and I realized that 90% of Trump headlines are just things taken out of context or entirely made up. I started to wonder why people hold places like MSNBC and CNN in such high esteem when they do the same thing to Sanders. MSM is bought and paid for, easier to get the real information when it isn't being sold to you.

It worked in trumps favor.
Normal people where like "Did he really say that!!", then they used the internet, something the media does not take seriously, to discover that what he said was taken out of context. the end result is he is the candidate who has gotten his message out to the most people.
