1. It's clear that cable, broadcast, print, and especially radio, want a Republican White House,

and they're working very hard to make it so as they continue to attack Hillary Clinton, the Democratic and presidential frontrunner, until people get "Clinton-fatigue". I've heard a few talking heads on MSNBC mention the threat of "Clinton-fatigue", so there are grounds for my suspicion.

If Hillary Clinton gets the Democratic nom, I will be voting for her. I won't allow corporate media to choose the next president of the United States.

2. The Washington Post is playing up Hillary's e-mails, while virtually ignoring the 47 traitors

Yesterday's Post didn't even mention the GOP senators' letter to Iran on the front page. In addition, this letter was the subject, not of the first editorial, but the second. The first was on Hillary e-mails, as if that were somehow more important than the decision by Republican senators to undermine diplomatic negotiations by the White House.

The NY Times, by stark contrast, had as yesterday's lead story an article about Democrats' outrage over the letter to Iran.

Ever since Jeff Bezos of Amazon took over the Washington Post, it has become increasingly right-wing, in both overt and subtle ways. The Post is no longer fit even to housebreak puppies on.
