Media Bias Demonstrated Yet Again

Here is a brief but enlightening article that shows how much money the 'unbiased' and 'objective' media gave to each of the candidates in the race.  Hillary received "more than 96 percent" of the contributions given by media.

With that in mind, consider the sudden flood of attacks on Trump that - if true - are less serious than the attacks attributed to Bill Clinton.  Was there a surge of such reports against Clinton in October of 1992?  No.  Why not?  The media is populated largely by Democrats or Democrat-leaning 'journalists.'  Judith Miller offers an explanation here:
Is it any wonder that Republicans are under constant assault while Democrats can rarely do wrong?  If the media showed half the enthusiasm for any one of Hillary's scandals, her campaign could be crippled.  Her only hope is that Trump can be made more odious than she is.  Certainly possible but not as easy as one might expect.
