The media changed the narrative by manipulation and stifle of Sanders..many voters had never even heard of him and thought there was only one person running on the democratic side until they went to vote..

What you believe is up to you but what you just said is untrue. Sanders got plenty of media attention during the summer before the primaries. He did well in the debates. His polling numbers took off during that time. An article from Frontline pretty much says there is NO indication of a strong media bias.

The heading of this PBS Frontline article sounds like it backs your statement up but really the Journalistic Bias they found was bias in attention that Trump received.
Study: Election Coverage Skewed By “Journalistic Bias”
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/study-election-coverage-skewed-by-journalistic-bias/

The header concerning the Democratic primary coverage was:
Clinton and Sanders, Overshadowed by Republican Race

On the Democratic side, the candidates generally received coverage on par with their primary results: Clinton received 54 percent of the press attention, versus Sanders’ 46 percent, until the middle stage of the campaign — mid-March to early May — when Clinton pulled ahead.

Sanders also received more positive media attention — the largest favorable margin of any candidate, 59 percent good press to 41 percent bad press — until the middle stage of the campaign, the report found.

At the same time, reports on Clinton were more critical because as the presumptive nominee, she was expected by the press to dominate the early contests. By the middle stage of the campaign, however, Clinton was eking out more favorable press, 51 percent positive to 49 percent negative.

But once she clinched the nomination, she received more criticism, with 49 percent positive statements to 51 percent negative, in part because Trump began to target her in speeches.

Getting back to the original post, here's a tidbit:

Donald Trump's sons behind nonprofit selling access to president-elect
New Texas-based group not legally required to disclose its donors
https://www.publicintegrity.org/2016/12/19/20564/donald-trumps-sons-behind-nonprofit-selling-access-president-elect

A new Texas nonprofit led by Donald Trump’s grown sons is offering access to the freshly-minted president during inauguration weekend — all in exchange for million-dollar donations to unnamed “conservation” charities, according to interviews and documents reviewed by the Center for Public Integrity.

And the donors’ identities may never be known.

Prospective million-dollar donors to the “Opening Day 2017” event — slated for Jan. 21, the day after inauguration, at Washington, D.C.’s Walter E. Washington Convention Center — receive a “private reception and photo opportunity for 16 guests with President Donald J. Trump,” a “multi-day hunting and/or fishing excursion for 4 guests with Donald Trump, Jr. and/or Eric Trump, and team,” as well as tickets to other events and “autographed guitars by an Opening Day 2017 performer.”
--------------
“This is problematic on so many levels,” said Larry Noble, the general counsel of the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan campaign reform organization. “This is Donald Trump and the Trump family using a brand new organization to raise $1 million contributions for a vague goal of giving money to conservation charities, which seems a way of basically just selling influence and selling the ability to meet with the president.”

Noble cautioned that the details of the event and its association with the new nonprofit listing the Trump brothers as directors are still unclear.

You've got to hand it to these folks, they sure know how to make money. I wonder if they jumped through the regulatory hoops or just depend on daddy to take care of the red tape for them.

I can't wait to hear the wingnuts defending this.

a million bucks doesn't seem like too high of a price tag to be close the trump sons while wielding a gun.

I can't like this. assassination will lead to even less access to our leaders, more insulation and ever more restrictions limiting our freedoms.

Much as we might be tempted.

"You gotta kill their families..." - Trump 2016

Not saying anyone should (that would be a terrible day) but Trump seems to think so.
