From the Bush years until 2016, the only truth is on sites like DU. I don't watch TV for news anymore.

as I'm watching right now, the chyron reads:

TRUMP, CLINTON TRADE NEW ACCUSATIONS OF BIGOTRY

I'm so fed up with the media. False equivalencies 24/7.

The TV networks have lost all credibility. Hillary Clinton has humiliated the talking heads with her historic speech yesterday. The Tv talking heads at MSNBC and CNN have ignored the rise of the white supremacist and fascists in the GOP at the peril of all Americans. HRC has done the correct and brave action of calling this out. The news media are now shocked that she pointed out the facts which the news media has ignored.

Good post. Thanks.

There was so me way to REPLACE so-called Clinton/Democratic surrogate Jamal Simmons with a surrogate who was worth a damn.

I've seen this guy for over 10 years, and he's still the same boring, low-energy, ineffective guy he was years ago on CNN. In other words he STINKS--just sits there like a bump on a pickle and really doesn't say anything that's effective or worth listening TO. HOW on earth did he get such a prime role as a top Clinton surrogate? Does he have something on somebody? But then again, Kellyann Conway has been around for years as a pollster, and although she's been ineffective and not very successful in helping ANYONE get to the White House, shes' now a campaign manager whose getting praise heaped upon her by the so-called "Liberal Media?"

As for this false equivalences of whose more dirty, Hillary Clinton doesn't have a RIGHT to defend herself against tRumps charges of her being a bigot/racist? She doesn't have a right to show WITH EVIDENCE and check tRump when he LIES and calls her a bigot when ALL of HIS bigotry and racism has been on and is STILL is on full-display DAILY, hell HOURLY and by the MINUTE? The man hired a Neo-Nazi as the CEO of his campaign Christ's sake.

So to wrap up:

Hillary's a liar and people can't trust her says Hart, and "peoples" ONLY problem with tRump is that they wouldn't vote for him because they don't think he can be a good leader?
