I also mentioned that while they use every opportunity to attack Trump there are crickets when it comes to the Clinton super delegates inside job or her numerous documented affairs with Wall Street and Big Business.

They didn't publish it and the editor in chief even replied to me that the reason for the anti Trump campaign is that he's 'stupid' and 'dangerous' (I am citing).

So I guess this is the state of affairs now, the media decide what to report and what to not report about. It's no more about facts but pure bias and they don't even try to hide it, defying every principle of actual journalism.
In other words.... business as usual.
