sleazy technique of presenting a hit-job headline to be seen by many has become commonplace corrupt journalism/propaganda. Those pretending to integrity then walk back the message to something closer to honest journalism in the article itself. But few actually open and read.

The New York Times attacked our candidate this way every single day, but also our party, during the election period. And most other corporate-owned MSM did the same to varying degrees. And even though that's over, the screws are if anything being turned harder on dirty journals to attack as the right fights for survival by projecting their massive corruption and betrayal onto us.

Btw, remember THIS Associated Press's blanketing millions of screens and print media across the entire nation with a 100% lying, lengthy headline message about Hillary, State Department and Foundation Donors? The Associated Press. Facebook, Twitter, almost every electronic and print medium carried this thing.



Inside, the article tried to explain away the ridiculous numbers, but couldn't. And even though the AP was immediately criticized by many, it left the headline and article up for nearly 2 weeks, and many millions of Americans saw no more than the bald insinuation of corruption.

This is how deeply our most read and watched media are infiltrated and corrupted.
