"The media" isn't reporting on any of the wiki reports. Nothing. All I'm seeing is 30 year old Trump groping stories. Don't you get it? tptb want her in, she'll get in. Lying, cheating, stealing ... nothing is off the table with them. She WANTED her opponent to be Trump, the wiki reports told us that. She played Republicans and some of you went willingly along. smh
16 other candidates and you guys just had to pick the one damn guy who has shit - grab them by their *****? REALLY? And you excuse that??? Wow, how low your (collective) standards for potus are - from his past they can glom onto. 16 ******* other candidates, any of whom would be pounding the crap out of her with the wiki stories, with policy, with staying ON TOPIC. She was ******* easy to beat but no, you guys had to pick the one guy who was easier than her.
****. You. *******. Retarded. *******. *******. Trumpanfuckingzees. This is on YOU GUYS. YOU voted for him, YOU OWN mrs bill being our next potus. Congratulations.
******* dipshits.
So the main stream media decided that Trump was the guy they wanted to run against and essentially shut down the campaigns of the other 15 candidates...giving them zero coverage and assuring that Trump would be the GOP nominee...but it's the fault of Republicans because they weren't politically savvy enough to see what Clinton and her little media buddies were up to?
The people who are going to OWN the performance of Hillary Clinton are those in control of the main stream media who got her elected. What's sad is that they've now decided that THEY are the ones calling the shots about who will run things in America and do so by what they choose to cover and not cover. Whatever happened to the concept of a unbiased media providing voters with the best possible information so that they can make informed decisions? Journalistic ethics and all of that? From where I sit the media aren't even pretending to be non partisan at this point. They consider themselves "players" in the process.
FYI, the press has ALWAYS been players in the process...in yesteryear and still today, newspapers were created for the very purpose of political posturing....and even the creation for FOX news, it too was created for a political purpose....even every one of these blog sites and alt media sites, like Briebart and Drudge, and Media Matters etc, were created for a political purpose of their own....
When I took journalism classes back in the 70's the message being drilled into your head was the responsibility that a "free press" had in the political system of the United States. Media was one of the main checks on political power by the elites and being a "journalist" was an almost sacred calling because of that. Look at where we are now! Political campaigns call up network presidents and tell them what they want for coverage. Candidates tell reporters what questions they will answer and which ones they won't. Stories are written with a viewpoint and facts are cherry picked to support that viewpoint while facts that don't support it are ignored. Journalism is dead in America.
I agree that is how it should be, and even how we were taught, that it was....
but my contention, is that it never truly was that way...was never that perfect world of 'journalism standards'' of getting the WHOLE truth, the editor has always wielded the power to edit, and he managed the tones and / or the information we received.
I don't think the legit newspapers are as bad as you perceive them though...I think the internet political sites produce much more propaganda that only confuses the masses and hurts the legitimacy of legitimate news, through their deceptions, in many cases.
