It is the fault of the current admin and all the wussy repub congresscritters for not contesting ANY of the liberal lies and allegations which are promoted as factual news
Until someone actually gets some stones and gets into some of the MSM faces it will continue
And no amount of tit for tat, or spitting matches could have, or will, help.
The newsmedia is far more powerful than the President and his party. They have newspapers, mags, TV, Hollywood, music, education, the Internet, and its global now.
If they want to destroy you, your reputation, your career, your policies, they will, its a 24/7/365 policial campaign.
And a President cannot run the same campaign, logistically, financially or personally.
Only time will do the trick, for now its every man for himself.
