Trump Is Where He Is Because Of Media Distortion

From Fox News / Hate Radio distortions, to cable news pandering. Trump, or "conservatism" has never been called out for the outright fraud/s they are. Trump is where he is because of the media gushing, ready to improve ratings by televising his every rant/lie. He has an army of deplorables/imbeciles that have no clue as to how anything on our planet works, but feel "strongly" about a lot of stuff supporting him. They have been told it is Mexicans/blacks/Chinese/you name it they have to blame for their problems, but not the 1%ers and the corporations they own robbing them, and not paying their fair share of taxes.

For 30 years "they" and there are a lot of them, have been lying about the Clintons. I can count the number of lies Hillary has told on one hand. For her opponent, he does nothing but lie, and make false promises to people who have no regard for truth anyway. Trump is where he is because of the brainwashing of good people by the media, and the lack of real media calling out outright lies, and undeniable fraud.

Period.

(example) "cutting taxes raises revenue" I could go on forever, but I have to get to work.

Take it from here.....

...a large population of the USA are selfish and ignorant.

No amount of media can fool me or many I know who can think.

and e-mails. There was at least one Congressman that actually bragged about driving her numbers down.

different answer from the respondents. Hillary was ahead for a long time, now she is about even with trump. The media could be shaking things up to bolster their own ratings. After all, these polls have been predictable and boring. I'm not saying the media is, but this has been known to happen in the past.

Andy Borowitz joked that the bar couldn't get any lower since it was on the ground.

There has been MORE than a double standard in effect here. Not only does Hillary have to deal with the Dems being held to a MUCH higher standard, but she is also a WOMAN AND a CLINTON. AUUUUUGGGGHHHH! It's enough to make M$M's little pea-sized heads explode.

Twice now Trump has hinted about how handy it would be if Hillary were killed--and the press just says, "Oh, just another day! Have you seen Hillary's latest poll numbers?"
