The complicity of the local media.

One thing I have noticed that has really bothered me in the local media is that when ever any issue regarding Trump comes up, they will play a clip of Trump spouting his lies and that's it. No commentary. No rebuttal. Just his lying fat ass and that's it. So it comes across as very one sided and Trump's voice is the only one that is broadcasted.

The sad thing is that I live in a very blue, liberal city. It really bothers me when I see this because it puts his opinion forth as truth and nobody is there to challenge it. For many people, this is all they see of him if they don't have cable. For instance, I don't have cable. It just makes me angry and I wanted to get it off my chest. Has anyone else noticed this on their local channels?
