The press and "moral equivalence"...
In my opinion, the press is doing a great disservice to the public by pushing the false equivalence stories about Hillary and Trump. We are constantly informed that both of them have very high numbers in the "untrustworthy" polls. In other words, they are equally bad.
Regardless of what we may think of the email "scandal" of Hillary's, the FBI did not find it worthy of prosecution. Still, the Republicans continue to pretend it was never investigated.
With Trump, it is one lie after another. There is no comparison. It is not fair and balanced.
