Enough! The Media is the root of the problem!

I wonder if people listen with both ears..I followed the presidential election with as  much interest as I could.  I listened with no bias to any of the candidates. I expected fair coverage..to a degree.  I ..am not surprised by the out come of the election ..the media screwed everyone..Bernie Sanders did not get fair coverage..Trump has had his words literally altered..what do i mean by that.  Example one..after the san bernadino terrorist shootings Trump came out.. and said..folks we have problem perhaps we should ban muslims from coming into this country until we figure it out..Wolf Blitzer s spin on that was Trump wants to ban muslims from into this country without the caveat.  Second example..Donald Trump said that there could be riots in Cleveland if I do  not get the nomination on the first ballot..again..wolf Blitzers spin was that there would be riots..and  he kept repeating it. .truly unbelievable..These are just tiny examples of a shift in language that could be misinterpreted..Trump has said some outrageous things on the campaign trail..now he is president elect. The protesters are doing their thing..but perhaps they should have been out on the streets when bernie sanders was screwed by the Democratic National committee..just maybe the protesters should be voicing what they would like to see from the trump presidentcy..to unify the country.The media has gone to far in its reporting on personal attacks..the media should have put a lid on it. The campaign was more about personal attacks..than the issues. and when it came right down to it The new york Post cover said it all ..A woman holding her nose and saying VOTE for the candidate you dislike the least!  Half the people felt one way the other half another..now we have to deal with it  together.  The media is the root the problem..I guess people will pay attention a little more..maybe even presidents will bite their tongues before they talk!

  1. I agree with much of what you said. While I was a clear Bernie supporter, I must come to the defense of Hillary Clinton. She had baggage, yes. But no where near the the 20' x 20' dumpster worth of garbage that Donald Trump hauls around. If anything, Trump was coddled. And Clinton was unfairly persecuted. Yes, the media was at fault for giving a bonafide con man so much airtime. Injustices, deceptions and blatant crimes perpetuated by Trump barely got a mention. Now and in the future, the people need to do their homework.
