As for more ads by Trump......IMO it's still too early. Timing is everything.

Most people who read "New York Times" or "Washington Post" read it online. nytimes.com readers do not see the full page and half-page and most print ads that run in the paper. Not even if it's on the back of the first section. Online you might see ads for Citi, Proud Sponsor of Team USA. washingtonpost.com readers see a few ads, but those who use the App, see none. Trump Pence ran some ads to fundraise (mostly, "CONTRIBUTE"), but none of them had any issues in the ad other than the tagline MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. But they helped raise the $80,000,000 last month.

Print media is dead anyway.

But on what grounds could the likes of the NYT refuse an application to place an advert if it did not contravene any publication regulation ? I'm not an expert on US law in this regard, but I couldn't readily pick up anything at ... panewsmedia.org With regard to the " ... target population", it's very likely that its readership is more inclined towards Hilary than Donald. But that is one of the reasons I suggest that that is where one should place an Advert that clearly shows the bias of the MSM towards Hilary Clinton. It's very difficult to ignore the blatant facts that are contained in "photographic evidence". At worst it could sway any "fence sitters" from abstaining from voting for Hilary and to rather vote for Donald Trump. There is, as you say, the question of timing and certain aspects of Trump's campaign may have more effect at a later stage. However, by putting this type of blatant bias into the public domain, it could inform the Trump team, at this early stage, as to what sort of reaction their opponents will come up with to counter this sort of exposure to what Hilary's campaign is actually achieving .... or NOT achieving.
