And another thing the damn media doesn't do

When some tRump surrogate or even the orange man himself goes into how "terrible" and "awful" the economy is...how bad we are all doing...all the doom and gloom!

Why doesn't anyone in the media stop these fools with a reality check?

*Incomes up.
*Stock Market all-time high
*Record breaking consecutive monthly private sector job growth
*Fastest recovery on record

I am so sick of our corporate media I could throw something.

... has, for years, been more concerned with how they look on camera than what nonsense they are spewing.

I sometimes wonder if there is a contest among them - awards to be given to those who sported the best tie while lying to the public, or best hair-do on a bobblehead while delivering the non-news.

... "What Obama's done to our military."

With no specifics, no evidence (obviously), and certainly no challenge from whoever's interviewing them.

3. Where the hell are Hillary's surrogates?

Maybe I watch too much M$M news - but every hour on the hour there are at least two Trump surrogates on hand to comment on anything mentioned about Trump and Clinton. They are blanketing the news programs and networks with an endless roster of surrogates. So where are Hillary's surrogates? They are no where to be seen. The Trump people get on the air and tell lies and smear Sec. Clinton and there is no one from her campaign at the studios to push back on the lies and distortions. Look, it can't always bee the on-air talent's job call the Trumpers on the crap being peddled out there - the Clinton campaign itself has to take an active role in combating the lies and half truths that are filling the airwaves. That means having people there to speak on camera against the growing tide of lies.

What the hell is her campaign waiting for?

When a Hillary surrogate is on, they are almost junk yard dog vicious. I'm serious when I say something is going on.
