If Hillary Clinton does not win the presidency, the blame can be placed directly on the failed fourth estate; the American media. Forty years ago the media presented the news of the day, and expected the American people to evaluate it based on the facts. Today’s media offers few facts and far more innuendos and attempts to influence the opinion of the American people. It has learned from FOX Noise that the only item of importance is ratings.
The media has kept an issue alive for months which is actually no issue at all unless you are an extremist on the right wing. Hillary’s e-mails are passé; it’s past time to talk about the issues, and each candidate’s qualifications to lead our nation.
Multiple scandals could be revealed about Donald Trump’s entire life, but the media refuses to do so. A close look at Trump’s staff reveals his only tactic and how politics in 2016 has reached a new low. A couple of weeks ago Robert Mercer, a billionaire who formerly supported Ted Cruz, decided to become a “king maker.” Because he is Trump’s primary financial supporter, he has forced Trump to add staff to his campaign.
Kellyanne Conway was running Mercer’s Super PAC. She is now Trump’s campaign manager. She is a well-known ‘spin doctor’ in the GOP who lacks substance. Steve Bannon was the former president of ‘Breitbart,’ a right wing extremist blog known for its lack of values. Bannon is a member of ‘Alt-Right,’ which is a modern day white supremacist movement. While at Breitbart, he wrote multiple articles which damned the LGBT community.
The latest addition from Mercer is David Bossie. He is now the deputy campaign manager. Bossie has but a single purpose; to create scandals about Hillary Clinton. His history goes as far back as the 1992 campaign when he stalked individuals and families in Arkansas, desperate to damage Bill Clinton’s reputation and help George H.W. Bush win his reelection campaign. Since that election, his only purpose has been to find scandal’s related to the Clintons. If he can’t find a shred of an actual misstep, he creates one.
This is what we can expect from Trump, and I promise you that the media will not tell you the truth.
Trump has nothing to offer the American people but lies and attacks on Hillary Clinton. He is an empty man with a complete lack of substance and absolutely no knowledge of how government works. The American people need no more proof than to look at his staff, which is filled with unqualified individuals whose only purpose is to increase the number of attacks on Hillary Clinton.
Some readers may ask ‘why is the media assisting Trump?’ It’s always ‘follow the money.’ The mainstream media has learned from FOX Noise that ratings are the only thing that matters; ratings mean increased advertising. Trump’s antics and vile rhetoric have been covered by the media five-times more frequently than all other candidates combined. They are giving him free advertising. Add to that their continued coverage of attacks on Hillary’s e-mails, and they have insured Trump’s success.
Fight back America; dump Trump.
