Maybe NPR is finally beginning to get it.

The lead in to All Things Considered today was a clip of Trump claiming that Obama and Clinton founded ISIS. Ari Shapiro's headline comment was words to this effect, "Donald Trump continues to make claims that are not true."

I call THAT objective reporting.

This morning the lead NPR story was 'Donald Trump called Hillary some names.' It was standard Trump fare, nothing he hasn't said a thousand times, yet it was their lead and they played audio. I was thoroughly disgusted.

throwing poop, screaming, turning the election into a shouting match turned up to 11 where nothing is true, therefore everything is.

I'd say his strategy is starting to come into focus now that Ivanka and Priebus took away his Twitter and got him his meds.
