2016 Postmortem

I'm stunned (in a good way).

Heard on the car radio a short report on a local public radio station that Donald has admitted that the Pres was born in the US. However, he claimed that HRC was the source.

The reporter then said, "That is a false statement."

Nothing more--no caveats, soft pedaling, etc.

I hope this is how journalists will report on D's future lies.

...even FOX. They all pretty much said it was a lie. Some added &quot false)" to the headline. The media has a job... they should be telling the truth and not spinning lies. For far too long, they think covering for Republicans shows impartiality. Sometimes one side IS correct!
