Clinton's speech indicted the Corporate Media as the GOP lie machine's co-conspirators. [View all]

The average citizen viewer of Clinton's speech should NEVER have been hearing the dismantling of the GOP lies and attacks on Obama for the very first time.

The corporate media has given THOUSANDS of HOURS of airtime and gallons of ink to the GOP over the last few years, allowing the GOP to lie WITHOUT CORRECTING the lies as one would expect from any ethical news outlet.
