As a young reporter, I was frustrated with journalism ethics during a Presidential Election. Every day the media report was much negative for Reagan, and much positive for then President Jimmy Carter (1976-1980).
Reagan went on to squash Jimmy Carter with 489 Electoral College votes, to 49 for Jimmy Carter. I guess I wasn’t alone among an overwhelming distrustful public in the American media. This time, Donald Trump defeated Hilary Clinton by 306 to 239 Electoral College votes, despite an overwhelming bias media coverage favoring Clinton.
