Donald Trump’s own words claim that he favors Russian President Vladimir Putin. He opposed a proposal in the Republican Platform which would have offered support to Ukraine. The FBI believes that Russia was responsible for hacking the e-mail server of the Democratic National Committee, revealing that some members made efforts to prevent a Bernie Sanders’ candidacy.

A recent poll reveals that 48 percent of the American people believe that Russia favors a Trump presidency. Makes sense to me.

Trump would be a tool for Putin. Two things all of America now knows about Donald Trump is that when he is criticized, his weak temperament forces him to attack his detractor in a vile and mean-spirited manner. When he is praised, he rolls over like a puppy; accepting whatever comes next. Putin has offered praise to Trump.

Putin and Clinton know each other well. The most experienced presidential candidate in history has been informed of all situations regarding the Russian president, and has met him personally several times. He has reason to seek a Trump presidency. He is aware of Clinton’s ability to not only use diplomatic efforts, but that she would show great strength if necessary.

There is only one reason why Trump is now the Republican nominee for the presidency; the support of mainstream media. They have allowed Trump to avoid answering questions about the issues. They have continually supported his attacks on his opponents without the harsh criticism which should have come from supposedly credible journalists.

Instead, the media has adopted the tactics of the FOX Noise fake news network. Ratings have trumped the reporting of real news, and the truth disregarded for sensationalism. Without receiving five-times more coverage than all other candidates combined, he would never have received the amount of support needed to receive the nomination.

In contrast, the media has failed to report Clinton’s position on the issues, and constantly allowed Republican attacks against her to dominate their broadcasts. This is prejudicial action which proves that the fourth estate is broken, and once again, profit comes before the people of our nation and the truth.

I same CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, and ABC for their lack of courage and refusal to offer the complete truth to the American people.
