I see posts almost daily stating the Dems don't do enough to get the message across

The assumption is that the media actually attempts to get the message out.

The answer is a resounding no. On October 31, 2016 the NY Times had info (verified) that tRump campaign was under investigation by the FBI. Go look at what they published. (Hint anti-Clinton)

The standard process on CNN and MSNBC is to let tRump/Repuke spew lies for 2 plus minutes, discuss the statement for 2 plus limits, this provide a minute for a Dem to respond. OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER again.

Now, think back to Obama and Clinton terms and imagine if a major auto mfg stated something anywhere near to "Ford to layoff as impact of Obama/Clinton policy which cost them 1 billion. It would be covered almost exclusively with only Republicans on to claim how Obama/Clinton was single handily ruining the nation.

covered the NYTimes hiding a great report about tRump's campaign being investigated by the FBI as you mentioned.

However during the 2016 campaign CNN and MSNBC they both would show a stage and empty podium waiting for the moron to bless the audience with his presence for 20 min while they gave Hillary only a few minutes to discuss her plans, agenda, platform, etc. I have been calling them to complain about it. Now they only show a few min or none at all of his rally speeches.
