So many times they would show a clip of Trump blatantly attacking and reaccusing Hillary with lies and NEVER correct or dispute them. These were nothing more than negative Trump ads. You cannot tell me the news shows didn't know what was owing on when they did this.
I have talked th 3 Trump supporters who claimed that the Clinton Foundation skimmed 90% off the top of their charity money.
Where did they all get this same information? Trump himself and his surrogates, of course. Over and over on cable news.
We they ever challenged to prove it?
Never.
