Trump loses in Wisconsin, should be bothered?

The answer is no, he shouldn't.

For the last week all major news outlets have been hoping for a "major loss" or "blow" for the Trump campaign. Now that it's happened, albeit in reality it's just a small blip, the MSM (mainstream media) can attack at will.

You just wait till he wins the next caucus and/or primary, the MSM will be back to their old fickle methods.

Doesn't matter, neither of them will win.

Should he be worried? Well, whether he should be or not, he clearly is, getting rattled by comments he's made, back tracking on them, trying to placate people...

But by the way OP, railing against Mainstream media for being somehow wrong is pretty petty. It's the mainstream for a reason - it represents the majority.
whoever wins, the children lose *helen lovejoy*

It represents the establishment and holds a very strong agenda.

I can never fully trust it.

They represent to make money, yes. That much cannot be denied.

But they can't make money unless they portray the views that their readership / viewership want to watch. If they presented their own agenda that was unpopular they would no longer be mainstream and no longer make money.

People like you railing against them are in the minority. Stop acting like they're the ones in the wrong.
Meanwhile is New York Trump has over 50pc, significant leads in California and Pennsylvania too

Oh grow up.

If people didn't like what they were reading or watching they'd change the channel or buy a different newspaper. We're not in some communist hell hole where we're only allowed one source of news.

or bernie for that matter.

he still has a decent chance tbh, he won like 3 or 4 states in a row
same **** happened with obama, most people said obama was done for but he got through.

if he manages to win new york (probably not, but debate could change things) I think he'll win the primaries.

In the age of the internet if you want a media source to conform to an opinion you can probably find one.

Which is not the same as it being the only option, and I would not be one but surprised if Internet media is now more accessible than broadcast media

People are not interested in finding alternative point of view , their first information is what they want to believe, and often media tells what people want to hear

Try telling that to the Trump, Cruz and particularly Bernie supporters.
