Who said this had anything to do with winning anything ? This is about the annoying amount of Trump bs on all . <| sep |> He regretted it for the rest of his life <| sep |> I am reminded of the saying reality has a liberal bias . Was the media coverage of Trump negative ? Yes , it overwhelmingly was . That ' s not the right question , though . The question should be whether Trump ' s media coverage was undeservingly negative . If media coverage of the Philippines murder campaign against drug usersproducerssellers is overwhelmingly negative that is probably because most decent people think it is not ok to have government sanctioned extrajudicial killings . There is no need to have a balanced perspective on this some things are just wrong and bad . This is an hyperbolic example when compared to Trump , but it illustrates a point . We can debate whether Trump deserved the media coverage he got . I think he did because his policies , such as they are , terrify me . I also don ' t think that fact checking is negative simply because it repeatedly shows that a candidate is not being truthful . If something is false then it is the media ' s job to let people know and factual information is neither positive nor negative . If someone else disagrees with me , or with the media ' s coverage , then the beauty of America is that reasonable minds can differ and we can agree to disagree . I doubt that either side will ever succeed in convincing the other , but we don ' t have to .
