Trump is held to such a low standard, there can longer be any doubt that the media has proof of Trump’s mental incompetence. Either that or they are colluding with President Liar and his subordinates. Their choice to refuse to tell the complete truth proves that the once respected fourth estate places profit before people.

It began during the campaign. Hillary was expected to be perfect, while the television media allowed Trump to lie and reveal the fact that he is a racist and a bigot without stating the facts. They never once forced him or his paid liars; Kellyanne Conway, Mike Pence, Steve King, Jeff Sessions, and others; to answer questions and state his position on the issues. Instead, they attacked Hillary Clinton relentlessly.

Meanwhile, they constantly discussed Hillary’s use of a private e-mail server and never reported her position on the issues. Trump received five times more media coverage than all other candidates combined.

The media’s biggest sin is reporting what “Trump said,” or typed in his endless number of tweets. Apparently none of these cowardly former journalists can type or speak two simple words; “Trump lied.” This double standard must end.

If Bill Clinton or Barrack Obama were still in office, they would be relentless in their condemnation.

Here’s the latest misdirection from the AP.

The Latest: President Trump says the Justice Department watchdog report on the Clinton email probe shows the FBI was biased against him “at the top level” and was “plotting against my election.”

Here’s the problem; the AP is re-printing Trump’s lie and making it appear to be factual. The report actually focused primarily on one thing; the failure of James Comey to consult others about what eventually became a very destructive decision. Hillary was exonerated, and once again proof that Russia interfered in our election was offered as fact. This is what the AP and others should be offering to the people; we have the right to know the truth.

On November 9, 2016, I promised not to watch or listen to mainstream media; I have kept that promise. I will no longer accept lies of omission. CBS, NBC, and ABC are the only three legitimate news networks on broadcast television. However, their overpaid ‘entertainers’ have surrendered their claim to be journalists. I miss Walter Cronkite and the others who placed the truth in priority number one, and refused to be cowards.
