PBS Anchor Whines to Maher: Trump's Scandals Should Be 'Disqualifying'

PBS NewsHour host Geoff Bennett complained to Bill Maher: "What do you think accounts for the durability of Donald Trump as a political figure? By any objective or rational standard, the challenges facing him, the scandals, the criminal trials -- all of that should be disqualifying. And yet he's competitive!" Maher said: "He's winning...and in the states that matter."

NewsBusters Podcast: Can The Networks Report on Gold Bars Menendez?

The latest NewsBusters study found 573 minutes of Trump-trial coverage on ABC, CBS, and NBC, but less than eight minutes for the trial of Sen. Bob "Gold Bars" Menendez, Democrat of New Jersey. It's funny how GOP scandals always "overshadow" the Democrats when the networks create the "news."
