I have only one problem with the media. As a body who is afforded constitutional rights it is their job to report the truth to the people based on their oversight of government. The minute they stop doing that and pick sides they should no longer be afforded those rights.

Obama lied because the media let him. Clinton lied because the media let him. Trump is telling the truth so the media is calling him a liar. That’s the basis of #fakenews.

The Press in this country has overstepped it bounds. It is not running this country , it should report the news in depth.
My problem is not what the press tells us, it is what they don't tell us.

The Press has conned us Americans into believing they are a fourth estate of Govt.
That is a British term that goes back into the 1700s and does not apply to us Americans.

Our Constitution says "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press..."
That does not mean the Press is above criticism, and ridicule, or have a lock on distributing info to the public. -Tom
