Bothsiderism and the Red Don's lesson of the Birth Certificate

Chump learned back in 2011 that if he brays long enough about a totally bogus issue, the birth certificate, the press will take up the chase in honor of bothsiderism. This will be the game plan with this pursuit of President Obama.

The question is whether the Press will fall, or has fallen again, for this ruse and will generate another but her emails travesty.

I'm not optimistic, the MSM is beyond stupid.

Influence is power. Create perception, and you create reality. There are so many good journalists out there, it's a shame they don't get more recognition for what they do.
