I have been diligent in keeping up with the campaigns of both Parties & listened very carefully to the Presidential debates. It is evident that main stream media is biased, always slanting in favor of the Democratic Party. The media insults & inflames any issue they can against Trump but they have yet to even mention a single one of Hilary's lies, past or present. They don't mention her previous misconduct towards women, they don't bring up any of her war crimes or her deception and crimes against America. After each debate I've witnessed main stream media side with Hillary and attack Trump, even when Trump had a much better solution oriented answer. As for rigging the election, it has already been proven just how far the Democratic Party is willing go to rig the votes in Democratic favor. Evidently, Hilary already had a scapegoat in place & ready when her team got caught rigging a couple months ago. There's no doubt the Democratic Party already have their scapegoats lined up in case they get caught again. The Democratic party rigged the election to vote Obama in for his second term as President & they are definitely trying to rig it for Hillary to win this time. If she does indeed win, it'll leave Obama free & clear to finally follow through on Hillary's indictment & claim the Presidency for a 3rd term. Since there would be no time to hold a new election & with the new President not yet sworn in, Obama would remain America's President. If you don't believe that could happen, then you haven't been paying attention to Obama's Executive Orders during these last 8 years. Yes, whatever their reasoning, the Democratic Party is absolutely trying to rig this election again. May God have mercy on America if they succeed.

I find it hard to believe that someone like Donald Trump can make us (as a nation) doubt the validity of our democratic process. I can recall the debacle of Florida's hanging chads, but that hasn't changed my opinion of the democratic process that we all enjoy. I hope that everyone gets out and votes so their voice can be heard.

Actually there have been a lot of articles published about the Wikileaks info. Also, many of the allegations made against Trump both in his business and personal life have not been debunked. The Trump U controversy has not been debunked. The hundreds of contractors and small businesses that claimed Trump stiffed them have not been debunked. A lot of different claims about his finances and business ties cannot be debunked because he for some unknowable reason is refusing to expose his tax returns. And don't use the audit excuse because that actually has been debunked. Being under audit does not prevent you from releasing your tax returns. Nixon himself released his returns while under audit.

Oh please. Some of your comments are ridiculous. If you have done any research on your own, it easy to see the amount of people at Hillary rallies. That's why people have iPhones. They are real people filming so we can know the truth since the media won't report it!
The contents of the Wikileaks emails contain serious information. This should be reported by the media. I guarantee it if Mr Trump had this exposed on him, the media would talk about it 24/7!
Look at all the woman that suddenly said Mr Trump groped them lol. Everyone has been debunked. And look at the undercover video out exposing the DNC paying for people to riot at Trump rallies. I'm sorry, but Hillary Clinton's corruption goes farther than anyone imagined.

Where were all of.you in 1980? Where was the "liberal, democrat" press about which you all lament? Why do you cry for the 2nd Amendment, while Mr. Trump has said the press will be sorry if he's President. He'll make sure they can be sued SO much easier (which 6would be a direct violation of the 1st Amendment). It makes one wonder about that oath of office he'd have to take.
Yes, I am one of those bleeding heart left-wing liberals. I went to a an excellent Evangelical Christian Wheaton College (same school Billy Graham attended). I hold a graduate degree, and have a higher IQ than Mr. Trump.
My vote means no more, and no less than any Trump supporter on this page. That is the beauty of our democracy, and our country. It hurt me that YOU DO NOT SEE JUST HOW GREAT OUR COUNTRY IS. Do we have problems? Yes. Can we do better by one another? No doubt about it.
If you belive the election is rigged, go vote. Stay, and watch the people who also come and go. Ask your city counsel person, or county representative questions about the process. You can call the Election Commission, but they're really busy trying to make sure everything goes like it's suppose to go, where each vote is counted. Try to open yourself to the possibility that twitter followers don't translate directly into votes. Try to start telling yourself the only poll that matters is the Electoral College. If you remember the 1980 election, you will remember the person who won the popular vote, lost the Presidency.
Jack H. - 8 years ago
I don't want to see Trump's or Clinton's supporters shot. That's what I hate about all the rigged election talk. One of the most essential traditions in US government is the peaceful transition of power. It's what allows democracy to work: it doesn't matter whether or not you like the candidate that was chosen, whoever is elected is the new president and everyone just has to accept that. Even with the hanging chad controversy in Florida, no candidate has ever questioned the legitimacy of an election's results because doing so is very dangerous. Crying foul and throwing around unsubstantiated accusations of voter fraud in an attempt to deny a loss needlessly undermines the democratic system and risks inciting violence.

Honestly, Trump gives the media a lot more to talk about on a daily basis. The Clinton email scandal was bad, but it's not exactly news. We've all heard about it already. The media did report about the Wikileaks info when it came. Frankly, Clinton just doesn't create as many daily scandals as Trump does.

Every news station I have watched is so bias. They rarely show any negative towards Clinton. But everyday there is something negative about Donald Trump. Clinton is so corrupt and continues to lie. Her past is horrendous, why don't you report that in your news cast? Lord knows there is never ending corruption from her to last a life time of reporting. I'm very disappointed in WKRN for it being so bias.

Also, media bias, though admittedly wrong, is not the same thing as a rigged election. The media is able to lie, but they cannot actually force people to vote for a particular candidate. That is the choice of the voter and the voter alone.

My mother was an advanced Alzheimer patient, in a nursing home, 4 years ago. They pressured me to register her in their county and told me they would help her vote. I did change her to Williamson County, but I helped her vote because they had already said it was to help Obama be reelected. They said it was her duty as an American to cast her vote, but they were talking about a woman that was so mentally incapable, she didn't even remember her children's names.

Yes the election is rigged! Just like the Obama campaign rigged it in 2008! and 2012! The Obama campaign even sent out the black panthers to intimidate conservatives! It was all over television!! Don't people remember? It is alarming how the media has outrageously campaigned for Clinton. The press is supposed to cover the candidates equally without helping or showing favoritism to either one. We are now experiencing third world tactics in America. The press pounds on TRUMP everyday all day about everything, the press should be focused on Clintons illegal emails and her failure as Secretary of State, this election comes down to socialism and loss of freedom with Clinton vs business and job friendly and reduced taxes with TRUMP! If people are gullible enough to drink the liberal koolaid then we are all going to suffer the consequences! Clinton has already said she wants open borders and single payer healthcare. I moved here from California to get away from socialism and open borders. You should take a look at what has happened there before you cast that valuable vote!

She stepped out of the lime light right it took place. . Why does she always change the subject over the about her private emails?? I see our troops are in combat now and the Dems. promised they would not be in combat!!! Another freaken LIE!!!
Richard - 8 years ago
1) If you look through the news articles published about Clinton, you will see that there has been plenty written about both the email controversy and the recent Wikileaks disclosure.
2) The number of Facebook friends a candidate has is not an accurate measure of public opinion, just as online polls such as the one above are not as accurate as those given by polling agencies. They only indicate which candidate's supporters are more energized online. Not to mention, having a Facebook does not mean that you can or will vote. I've had a Facebook since I was 13.
As usual, you bash Trump and fail to even mention what is in the emails. Yes you are bias.
Trump has rallies that have so many more people than Hillary. Trump has more supporters on his fb page. There is no way he is behind in the polls. So if he doesn't win then yes the polls will be rigged. This is my last time to watch this news channel. I was hoping you would talk about what's in the emails today since it is very important. But I can see you're just another backer of the Clintons. TRUMP IS OUR ONLY HOPE.

First of all, voter fraud and media bias are two very different things. Even if you believe that the media is lying in an attempt to sway voters left, as long as the election results reflect the decisions of the voters, the election is legitimate. People have been lying for as long as they have had language to lie with. That does not make the election a cheat.
Second of all, to say that all media represents the left wing is inaccurate. There are many right wing media outlets including Fox News and Breitbart which demonstrate a level of bias equal to if not greater than that of outlets such as CNN and the New York Times. It is also worth noting that the so-called left wing media have been criticizing Clinton for years.
