and the horse race mentality. Not only that, if they actually asked IN DEPTH questions about why, they'd be hard pressed to get real reasons.

Is accused of raping a 13yo girl. Yet, Hillary is the one with trust issues?

is that sexism is still very much alive and well. Particularly with white men. Let's face it, those of us who've been in the workforce for years have experienced this to some degree or another. Men in positions of authority are afraid of strong and smart women. So, instead of saying the truth of the matter, in that Trumpler is a con man, they project HIS inadequacies to her.

talking point, so it is no surprise that the polls reflect this.

There was an AP poll asking if they believed "Hillary committed a criminal act with the email" . Slightly over half said yes. However, the media instead of CORRECTING the record, by reporting that the FBI, and Department of Justice investigation contradicted that poll, the media found no reason to state the actual facts.

It is no wonder that 20% of the populace believe President Obama is not an American citizen, and the media does nothing to set the record straight, and they have been doing this type of lazy and shoddy reporting for some time now.

I remember that when the decision on the ACA from the SC came out. The illustrious media, almost with glee, reported that the SC ruled the ACA unConstitutional, and when they finally pulled their collective heads out of their asses, they corrected the story that the ACA was ruled Constitutional, and then made up all kinds of lame excuses why they misreported initially.

The fourth estate has become a joke, and a very dangerous one at that
