Media manipulation

My thoughts exactly. From Bookworm Room:
I loved Ted Cruz, but as I also remind myself, Ted Cruz is not running anymore in this presidential election. Donald Trump is. The voters have spoken and, while he was my last choice, I’m learning to tolerate him and he’s better than Hillary. Hillary will gut the Second Amendment, gut the First Amendment, deny that we are engaged in an existential war against fundamentalist Islam, and sell off the White House piece by piece. And in all this, she’ll be abetted by the media.

Keep in mind when you hear horrible stories about Trump that the media is telling these stories and they lie like cheap Persian rugs. They will ignore assassination attempts on Donald Trump while magnifying every single thing he says or does that can be wrongly construed. Meanwhile, they’ll be perfectly complacent about the fact that Hillary hasn’t had a press conference in 200 days and will actively hide anything that does not reflect well on her.

You are being manipulated every minute of every day every time you see anything coming from the media. The media’s animus towards Trump and its reverential handling of Hillary alone are reasons to vote for him and do anything to avoid her. (Are you listening to me RNC? The voters got tired of your efforts to placate, instead of fight, the media and they went for the Donald. Now you and some rarefied conservatives are trying to upend the will of the voters. I confidently predict that one of my friends is right when he says that, while President Trump might spell the end of the GOP, a coup against candidate Trump will spell the GOP’s end.)
