eerdoc, I agree 100% that the media is a hard left lean as a bunch. That is nothing new in my lifetime though. It has been that way since the early 70's at least. But to be fair, the press covered the Benghazi hearings to death and the destruction of the emails, Blackberries, and unsecured servers. What else could they say really. Maybe they could have hit harder but Lordy there have been some scathing reports in the NY Times and other media outlets.
In my opinion, had the Republicans nominated a realistic candidate, Hillary gets the 10th degree from the press. But instead the Party offered up a buffoon that has criticized the press from the beginning...a great way to lose the election IMO.
And to be fair here, the press' coverage of the Trump circus from the beginning is probably the reason he won the nomination. They gave him fair more airtime than his opponents because he was a terrific sound bite for TV.
I listened to his entire campaign speech last week from Greensboro NC. Another chance to actually talk about his plans for America and all he could talk about was the press, the bad-looking women who accused him, and the rigged election. He did say for the millionth time that he was going to build that wall and that he is going have Hillary prosecuted. I think he mentioned Obamacare. (of course offered no alternatives in this rally) He was going to bring the jobs that left NC back.....really??? How???? Does NC want textile mills lost to Mexico to return? Furniture maybe could return as that was at least semi-skilled labor. But again, not a single concrete plan.
As a moderate, it is time that the Republican Party decides what it wants to be. While I consider myself religious, I am not in any way represented by the Religious Right. I own and carry firearms. But I am not far right 2nd Amendment freak. I believe in less government but I am not a Tea Party type. I just want a political party that cares about mainstream American family values, good jobs, and a viable future. Right now, neither of these two parties meet MY needs.
