The answer is simple. The media has been so bullied by Conservatives about being "unfair" to the right that they are afraid to criticize even the most offensive behavior. Trump is well aware of the castration of the media when it comes to criticizing his newfound party and is taking full advantage of it
Why the media is duty-bound to call Donald Trump a racist
But for some reason, when covering the people vying for the most powerful office in the land, the media is hesitant to apply the "R" word, no matter how apt it may be. And that hesitation could have extraordinarily serious consequences for the country.
But just denying the refugees fleeing terrorism and repression wasn't enough. The anti-terrorism furor has grown into an anti-Muslim furor. Trump has called for shutting down mosques and refused to rule out a national registry for Muslims. Marco Rubio is trying to out-Trump Trump by calling not just for shutting down mosques, but even cafes or websites where Muslims gather.
But look at where we are today. Leading candidates for presidents are flirting with requiring adherents of a single religion to be registered. To carry identification cards. To be subject to additional surveillance. To be refused entry to the nation even if they're escaping horrific repression. To have their houses of worship closed down.
Those are racist, fascist policies. To avoid the comparison with early Nazi repression against Jews is to avoid telling the full story. And that's just what the media is doing by refusing to call these proposals racist.
The media is controlled by the rich corporations now. They control the message. They use racism as a wedge issue to divide the masses. Without these wedge issues like god, gays and guns, the GOP would offer middle class people very little. The GOP learned all they have to do is sucker dumb American voters with these wedge issues then they'd vote against their own financial interests. Anti abortion people vote against themselves over abortion. Racists vote GOP because black people vote Democratic. Homophobes vote GOP because it is the party for homophobes. Etc
Laughably false.
Its true. After the GOP con'ed Clinton into signing this bill,
Telecommunications Act of 1996 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the media was taken over by 6 companies

And you don't even know it. Just like you didn't even see Citizens United getting passed. Most of you Republicans didn't even know what it was. Now you know.
The media is liberal on social issues to **** you hard in the ass fiscally you dolt.
