You're kiddin me right? WAR? Trump received, according to MediaQuant, over $5 Billion in free media. This as compared to HRC's $3 Billion. This is a war against Trump? 30 minutes of air time for Trumps empty podium? That's a war AGAINST him?
Then there is the Comey incident. First he spent 15 minuets giving an announcement that there would be no charges. Well the no charges part was maybe 15 seconds of the announcement. The rest was denouncing Clinton with evidence that was not prosecute-able. Have you ever and I mean ever heard a prosecute go on about someone they were NOT prosecuting? If one had and it was not a public figure that would be reason for a libel suite. This denouncement got plenty of air time by a supposedly Clinton friendly media. Then there was the Comey letter itself. Was there ever such an uproar from the media about so much nothing? Essentially the letter said that someone Hillery Clinton sent emails too, gasp, received them. So F'n what? Did the media make any effort to point that out? NO. Did they make anywhere near the noise about the next weekends "never mind" statement from the FBI? No.
This is a media at war with Trump? We have to (a) stay on the media's back to report honestly and fairly. (b) be our own media as much as we can in our resistance to the Trump University Establishment.
Rant over.
