I see the media promoting the most liberal republican candidate in the primary, and tearing down whoever is the republican candidate, the normal action of the mainstream media. It has been that way for many elections.
This is nothing new, that's for sure.
Although, it seems to me they went a little farther than usual to "pick" our candidate this time.
My guess it was for ratings, mostly, and that they figured he would nor be electable, thereby securing another democrat win.
The tear down part is par for the course.
