This is making me sick, how much they show Trump spewing his garbage, and then beat the death out of a horse that doesn't even matter to attack Hillary.
Our press is not free. It has morphed into a sick animal that needs to be dealt with sooner or later. I am tired of wanting to vomit when I turn on my TV, and I want news.
Don't have the answer but what I see is horrifying.
After 25 years of right wing hate radio, and endless lies by Fox, half our country is idiot zombies, and the rest of us have to pay the price ever day. Think about what a "think tank" does, and why. You begin to understand. Distortion for corporate interest.
This American is sick of it.
For Profit Fifth Estate.
Something has gone really wrong.
Anyone agree?

(2,056 posts)Not a little fine...but a fine significant enough to inspire the press to VERIFY facts 100% before reporting. That would put an end to all the conjecture and nonsense.
