especially when it comes to reporting on US Politics.

Oh well.. we are fucked they are licking his buttt..... they are going to corwn him President... the debates will be a farce... Hillary will give it the best shes got and so will we.. but we are fucked... its a fucking media lovefest with this asshole .. i am disgusted

Where's your tax returns? Or add it to the other lies.

But, given the number of passes he's received on this issue, I have my doubts.

But I think Trump's birther problem only got stoked up again, and it'll last a few days anyway. On CNN tonight, it was Don Lemon, Brianna Keiler, Bakari Sellers, Van Jones, and another guy I don't remember, all pushing back. Lemon was on the weak side, though, and of course people like Andy Dean and Paris Dennard are literally unbelievable every time they speak to defend the guilty Trump. Can't wait to see Charles Blow's take on it.

Seth Meyers, Colbert, and Don Lemon all covered this tonight. Colbert was especially fired up and angry about it, and Seth's editorial was as good as Jon Stewart's best rants.

Seth Meyers, using clips from CNN:

On CNN tonight bringing up what Trump has tweeted about Obama's birth certificate even after Obama released it.CNN was all over this tonight.

There was indeed a talking head who disposed of the birther issue with a casual "put to bed" advisory, but later panels teemed with passion and dissension that arose from discussions of the racism at the core of the "movement." I, too, was disgusted by the "put it to bed" line, but birtherism is one child who will not find rest between now and election day.

The aspect of this issue that angers me the most is that many in the media pundit class believe if Trump were ever to acknowledge the truth about the president's birth, all would be forgotten and forgiven. How in the hell can three or four years of active participation in the movement as its inspirational head be swept aside by a one word or sentence acknowledgement? How were those three or four years not disqualifying?

My personal theory - and I hope you will respond to this - is that Trump's showman side has decided that the "right time" to answer the question about the president's birthplace is the first presidential debate. There, in front of the largest audience in ratings history, the showman will humbly tell those female suburban voters he so desperately seeks that he's glad to say he's with them now, and is glad to be able to move on to more "important" matters.... And the pundits will say, "NOW, he's put it behind him!"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!
