6:39Now PlayingWe speak with consumer advocate and former thirdparty presidential candidate Ralph Nader about presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s rhetoric and the corporate media’s coverage of Trump’s candidacy. Nader says TV networks are using public airwaves to "cash in" on the presidential race, while giving candidates like Trump a "free ride." "The questions aren’t particularly pointed when they interview them, and they’re very repetitious, and they give these candidates like Trump and others front stage," Nader says. "But also, they exclude leading citizens who could criticize the process, the candidates, and nourish the content of a presidential election campaign."
