Some people consider the way the media covers candidates for public office bad for democracy due to the way they present the facts and evidence. e.g. Whenever Donald Trump was running for presidency they constantly reported on his sexual abuse accusations instead of his good deeds and samaritan actions. He helped in the recovery from the flood in Louisiana and sent food and shelter for the suffering families, but you never heard that on the news... They broadcast the information in a way that will attract the most viewers, not in a way that delivers the most factual and true information.
