It's the red meat they were looking for to move the conversation from domestic and foreign security to a tabloid issue.
At no point in my life have I felt that the media is more slanted (on both sides) than it is now. Very few people tell it like it is and play it down the middle. There is always spin. Generally speaking, I feel like CNN at least tries to get balance on their panels by having people from both sides but the problem is that so many of them can't get out of their own way of sounding so biased that it really just comes across as why there is so much gridlock.
Great example of how the media is biased is as follows:
I was listening to the radio today and this example came up from the last week or so: http://www.seattlepi.com/news/crime/article/Oregon-gov-pushes-for-stronger-gun-laws-8380755.php
Only problem is that when the Oregon governor talks about needing to stop partisan politics, Oregon has a Democratic governor, a Democratic Senate, and a Democratic Congress. But that wasn't anywhere in the article because it didn't advance the agenda of the writer.
The bottom line is more people need to think for themselves and not for whether it is good for the D or the R. -
Are they even live right now? Or are they replaying from earlier in the night?TierbsHsotBoobs said:

If the Democrats had done this, would they still be silent? -
Disagree on CNN. They're very partisan and doing exactly what I would expect them to. Your last sentence is spot on. -

My sources have obtained the copy of Donald Trump Junior's speech. Enjoy:

They definitely lean left ... there's no question on that.Southerndawg said:

Trump's campaign talks about fragments in Melania's speech yet everybody now is saying that they aren't saying anything ... people see what they want to see. The reality is that we don't know the story yet ... everything else is speculation at this point. -

Equally as irresponsible then as the harping on from the left leaning.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

It's actually a really interesting narrative right now:
Left leaning media talking solely about the plagiarism and not talking about any other part of the night (which let's be honest, isn't a good topic right now for Obama/Hillary given that we're getting close to playing Clue! each day with killings around the world ... today's I'm taking an Afghan, with an axe, in Germany) ...
Right leaning media talking about the highlights of tonight's speeches and whatnot while putting their head in the sand regarding Melania's speech. -
I'd be shocked that a news network was spending 2 straight hours on this regardless of who said itPeterman said:
Give me a break, if Michelle O did this you'd be throwing a fit. Simple factSoutherndawg said:Seriously? She gave an innocuous speech that had some elements that appear to have been edited extractions from the Grinch's speech eight years ago. So what? At least she didn't say it was the first time in her life that she was proud of her country.
I think you need to continue watching your CNN and MSNBC feeds for more talking points.
