7. What the media did to Hillary in 2016 was a disgrace, and from reading various posts here it

seems they are going out of their way to have a preponderance of republicans parading across their screens doing the same thing to the Biden Administration.

To refresh everyone's memory, one week before the 2016 election our illustrious media reported that the email investigation was reopened. That was a LIE. They then paraded every right wing and republican pundit across our television propagating that lie for the entire week.

Then late Friday night, Comey quietly came out and said there was no new evidence presented to reopen the email investigation, but by that time, no one cared anymore.

Hillary was ahead in every poll number before that LIE was propagated, by 4 to points, and by Tuesday in that week, the polls were dead even.

They gave free advertising to the swift puke liars against Kerry, and the vile comments and sexist asides they made about Hillary were outrageous. I recall Anderson Cooper making one of those snide remarks about how "shrill" Hillary sounded, then stopping himself, and saying I better not say anything more because some will accuse me of being sexist.

I will fight and vote Democratic to defeat a republican party that has become the party of trump, a racist, sexist, bigoted cult, but I have very little hope for the country after what happened in 2016
