Related: About this forumThe Media Must Decide Whether to Follow Donald Trump Down the Sewer
Trump seems to feel no pain, or shame. But journalists do, or should. Vince Foster killed himself because of a crippling depression made worse by the anti-Clinton witch hunts of the media, particularly Travelgate, which he particularly lamented because an aide got reprimanded (he had asked his boss to put the blame on him instead.) Starr exonerated the Clintons of the trumped-up Travelgate charges, but that was four years after Foster died. We should all remember that Fosters suicide note blamed Wall Street Journal editors who lie without consequence.

(6,444 posts)2. Yep the media will try to take us down the sewer with Trump !!
But we are more powerful!
We must know that!
The same way most of us here did not buy decades of smears against HRC!
Who knew that there were so many of us not buying! Now we know! We are all knowing, seeing, together!
THAT'S IS AWESOME!!
So, the media does not know for us!
We know in spite of the media.
Trump thinks he has the media nice and ready, to do his bidding. And probably, it's true.
But what he doesn't know and the media doesn't know is that it won't work!
We are not fools! Cannot be fooled!
And now it's even more clear what they will do, try to do. We can laugh at them the whole way!
When you know, you KNOW!
