Our national media is making a mockery of our First Amendment which calls for a "free press." They have abandoned their journalistic principles as well as all pretenses of objectivity.

They are so in the tank for the Clinton campaign that if they are not being compensated for their work as campaign staffers, they may have a good case filing a grievance with the National Labor Relations Board!

They (the media) have unleashed a one-sided smear campaign against the challenger (Donald Trump) that is utterly unprecedented in American history.

Despite all this, Donald Trump is STILL at worst tied or within striking distance.

By rights, Trump should be 30+ points ahead of this wicked witch. But even in decline, the power of the media is still such that they have made this a fairly close race.

A Trump victory this November will be a crushing blow to the biased media and this nation will be much better off for it. Perhaps then we will see journalistic principles return to the media once again.

That will happen just after huge flocks of flying pigs block the noonday sun.

Won’t happen. We have moved back to the healthy period of American politics where all media was partisan media. Everyone knows the media has a side it has picked. It is a better place than were we have been for at least 50 years, where the dominant media claimed to be “non-partisan”, but picked nearly all the winners in politics.

We lived in a “mediacracy” for at least 50 years, with the only real exception being Reagan. He won be cause he conciously realized that the media was the opponent, and formulated his campaign with that in mind.

Not bloody well likely!

We are going to witness a screaming, thrashing, hyperventilating four-year hissy fit the sort of which the nation could scarcely have dreamed of. Get ready for the onslaught of biased stories trying to undermine President Trump at every turn.

He'll have to use antitrust law to bust-up the media monopolies and put an end to it.
