Here is a perfect example why the media intentionally misleads. Bloomberg, one of the "better"

networks for reporting news, reported that an AP poll reflected that the majority in that poll believe that Hillary "broke the law"

What is wrong with that? Because the media doesn't follow through, and indicate that is NOT what the FBI or the Department of Justice concluded in their investigation

Is there any wonder that 20% of the populace believe that President Obama isn't an American Citizen?

The Chuck Todd school of journalism is alive and well. Intentionally leaving OUT information is as bad as lying about it, because it doesn't fully disclose the facts

But you're right. Their bias is pretty overt. Ever since the FBI cleared Hillary it's been a non-stop barrage of stories and opinions that the opposite happened.

Nice to see someone else is listening to the Phrasing as well as the usage of verbs and adverbs being used by the TV Producers. BTW,Bloomberg is still running free Trump Promo's.
