I’m confused about motivations here. The media does not gain any ground by impugning the integrity of a man. They’d be catering only to the rabid leftists who follow them. It would be very easy in this day and age to provide proof of antisemitism or misogyny, but they don’t. Are we to just take them at their word?

50 years ago, before the Internet was even an idea in someone’s mind, the media was considered honest and provided proof to backup everything they said. Nowadays the media is seemingly corrupt to the core and does nothing more than castigate those who oppose their views while the opposition, in this case conservatives, bend over backwards to provide facts about every last talking point.

I just don’t get it.

I was a photographer in College to help pay my way. Because of that I associated with aspiring “Journalists”. They were not really journalists and their professors did not teach them to be journalists. They were taught how to spin a story to say what they wanted and make it sound like journalism. Even when I was in college in the 60’s the professors were liberals, many even radical.

There is nothing to get. The so called journalists of today are radical liberals with access to the means of broadcasting their “stories”. Journalists of today care nothing about the truth, they don't need to back up anything. To the journalists there is only an objective and story telling is their way of achieving their objective of making us all in their image. To them there is no need of freedom or personal decision making, they want smart people “read them” to make all our decisions for us, they after all know best.

Once as an engineer calling on a factory in Ohio I met with another engineer, he was from China. He seemed to be a nice guy and we got along well together. I learned a lot about China from him. Sometime after we became acquainted he told me his wife was coming to live with him from China. I offered to take them to dinner. While at dinner, through her husband translating, I asked her what she thought of the U.S. She hated it, it was so scary. She went to the store the other day to purchase shoes for her daughter. There were hundreds of pairs of shoes to choose from and nobody from government to help her. When she got here the two of them had to find a larger apartment, she exclaimed that nobody from the government helped them do that, they had to do it all on their own, it was scary. What if they made a mistake?

This is what liberal people think life should be for us idiots who live in fly over country. We are just too stupid to make decisions for ourselves.

Go Trump! Drain The Swamp!
