Well...let's see now. News media has something called an editorial board. This editorial board will give their collective editorial opinion concerning matters of the public good. Between Trump and Clinton, it's not a stretch to see where most objective editorial boards will swing. That being said, Clinton is getting called out for the Clinton Foundation donations. She was getting called out on Benghazi. Emails. Her lack of press conferences and interviews with news media. But unlike Trump, her campaign team knows how to answer their questions and move on. In contrast, Trump tends to double down on his controversies and exacerbate the issue.

And of course, you cite sources from such objectively neutral sites like The Weekly Standard, Townhall.com, and CNS News. Right. I mean, literally...RIGHT.

Classic. I suppose Uzbekistan finally got their revenge 800 years later. #TooSoon?

Clinton is not getting a pass from CNN or the major news outlets. It's just when you compare her to Trump's demagoguery, of course Trump is going dominate the airwaves. And not positively.

I see he doesnt mention CNN, he specifically says CBS, NBC and ABC We dont get any of those in SA so I have no idea if they are bias. I just know Trump makes the media scrutinze him....with his new campaign advisors hopefully this should change Or, maybe, just maybe...if Trump isn't such a bald faced liar, or such a crummy candidate, he wouldn't be getting called out so frequently. Mainstream media is doing its job.

Really good hoops for the bronze. But Australia got hosed by the officiating.

Neymar seals it.

Part of it is also unfamiliarity. Team USA regularly use different crews from the heats to the finals. Last night, Rogers ran up on Gatlin. That can mean two things...either Gatlin didn't react quick enough when Rogers hit his mark and started way late, or they didn't properly use the appropriate number of steps to set up the mark. Considering his fast twitch muscles....I'd bet it was the latter upon review of the tape. Either way, it ain't that hard of a fix. And again...switch to the underhand technique. It worked for my relay squads, and it definitely worked for the Japanese.

Another Olympics, another botched Team USA botched 4x100m relay. It ain't that hard. Practice, practice practice. Get your steps right; take off hard when when the mark is hit; hold out your hand when you hear "STICK," then secure the baton. If the overhand baton passing technique is a problem -- and it is, then go underhand.

Adding to the above from the politics thread... For election news and analysis I follow Nate Silver, Clare Malone, and Harry Enten from FiveThirtyEight; David Wasserman from the Cook Political Report; and Sean Trende from Real Clear Politics. David Axelrod and Jon Favreau are former Obama Administration staffers and serve as my Democratic shills. Republican consultants Tim Miller and and Karl Rove cover the right. I follow Sopan Deb of CBS News and Katy Tur of NBC News covering Trump on the campaign trail. My national NBA reads are Zach Lowe of ESPN; Adrian Wojnarowski of the Vertical/Yahoo!; Marc Spears (The Undefeated/ESPN); Sam Amick (USA Today); Marc Stein (ESPN); Matt Moore (CBS Sports); Kurt Helin (NBC Sports); David Aldridge (TNT); Ramona Shelbourne (ESPN); and Rachel Nichols (ESPN). For baseball, I read Rob Neyer, Peter Gammons, Bill James, Rany Jazayerli, Jonah Keri, Jon Heyman, Jayson Stark, and Ben Lindbergh. My football follow is Bill Barnwell, hockey is Katie Baker, and the Men in Blazers got me covered for soccer. Bill Simmons' Grantland is dead and left a deep void in intelligent sports and pop culture writing. Good thing Simmons is now back with The Ringer. FiveThirtyEight is the gold standard when it comes to data journalism. I read The Ringer and FiveThirtyEight quasi-religiously. Father James Martin S.J., gives me the Jesuit perspective on current events and Reza Aslan from progressive Islam. Malcolm Gladwell is an automatic read and podcast listen. I read a lot more people for different things, but they may be a bit esoteric. Google News is my news aggregator.

Ask her on the Twitters. Be sure to tell her you're of Western/Northern European stock.

Shouldn't be a problem avoiding terrible echo chambers if you know what to look for. I follow individual journalists I respect. There are plenty of good journalists out there -- whether as generalists or specialists in their field. I also listen to NPR and APM on the radio. My go-to television news source is PBS.

Right, because conservatives and right wingers don't get their news from Fox, Breitbart, and Newsmax.

Obama was asked by the Governor of Louisiana not to come because of potential for distraction of rescue efforts and advised Trump to not come if he is using the visit as a photo op and for political gain. So of course, Trump is using it for political gain. Meanwhile, Obama is getting regular briefings and communicating via modern telecommunication technologies.

It's "American nationalism", not "white nationalism". SPLC is a lying far-left organization. Gimme a break. It quacks like a duck. Here's Breitbart's front page news editor: http://www.rawstory.com/2015/09/slaves-built-the-us-the-way-cows-built-mcdonalds-and-other-historical-facts-from-a-breitbart-editor/ "British settlers built the USA. "Slaves” built the country much as cows “built” McDonald’s." "Indian tribes never bothered to build any kind of civilization. They killed each other and chased bison. Yawn~" "British settlers and their descendants built civilization. Indians never bothered to build more than a few teepees." "Probably not by cutting hearts out of sacrificial victims, unlike a sacred tradition of a Latin American culture." "Mexicans wrecked Mexico & think invading the USA will magically cure them them of their retarded dysfunction. LOL." "As if Indians could ever build the highly-advanced welfare system that sustains their existence… lol" "Dear “native people,” Where is your space program? Discovery of the wheel? Civilization? Love, America." "LOL, no. Western tradition alone can be credited with creating the civilized world, which youre dying to break into." "Another Crusade would do a lot of good. Let’s turn Mecca into a strip mall!" "When I think about America, the first thing that comes to mind is Islam and Third-World Muslims."

Bolt > All.

Golly Gee Willikers! He done gone native! I guess all Americans should vote for Mr. Trump now!

On the growing popularity and influence of Breitbart and synergies with the Trump campaign. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trump-made-breitbart-great-again/ Breitbart's page views have doubled - coinciding with Trump's political rise. The SPLC States that Breitbart is on its way to becoming "the media arm of the Alt-Right," the white nationalist movement... https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016/04/28/breitbartcom-becoming-media-arm-alt-right Again...Breitbart Executive Chairman Stephen Bannon is now the Trump campaign CEO.

I was referring more to the article itself. I agree that having viable third (or more) parties is a good thing. But I think it's more feasible to enact internal change within the two major parties itself -- like the Sanders and Tea Party insurrections. Though such prospects give centrists frowny faces.

Clearly overstating his (potential) impact on the race.

A) The LA Times poll is only tracking Trump v Clinton head to head. B) The LA Times polls have consistently skewed towards Trump and is the only poll recently that Trump.and the RNC have referenced. C) The LA Times poll has been the only outlier amongst all other polls which have Clinton up 5.8pts in the aggregate heads up against Trump.

Huh? Currentl Medal Count: USA - 94 Great Britain - 55 China - 55 Russia - 42 Japan - 34 If you remove the USA's medals from swimming and gymnastics, the US would still have 49 medals.

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/after-campaign-shake-it-s-trump-versus-world-n633046 Wonder if Katy Tur/NBC News is going to join the Washington Post and the NY Times in Trump's banned media blacklist.

Trump campaign doubles down and hires the Executive Chairmam of Breitbart to be the new Campaign CEO. Everyone's favorite Dictator Whisperer - Paul Manafort receives demotion. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-faces-at-top-of-trump-campaign-again/
