I agree completely with both Joan and Nancy. However, as Nancy stated how few people read a credible newspaper, I'd state there are none. I am APPALLED at the terms and words used to describe the Republican candidate!! This language is simply unacceptable and shows just how low our country and it's journalists have sunk when I hear these journalists and their couster parts. Even from our President himself!! This language used is so debased and classless, I'm embarrassed for our country. There is absolutely no credibility from Hillary Rodham Clinton. She has been proven to lie and then lie about lying!! My God, are her supporters deaf and dumb to believe a word coming out of her mouth? And now with Wiki Leaks additional proof of the disdain she's shown for Americans, the low they sink to to cause protests at Trump rallies? Donna Brazil giving her the questions beforehand? This has ALL been caused by the very devisive Barack Hussein Obama!!! He has lied to and brought this once great America to its knees...literally... with the support of Black Lives Matter supporters not standing for OUR National Anthem. We will have another civil war. Maybe not in my lifetime but now I understand how brother could fight brother!

This just came across my desk. I did not write it but it SURE explains how so many of us feel! I hope it all comes through so any of you all read this (if you haven't gotten this email already!) will understand how
deeply serious the American people are sick and tired of the elite politicians who are not doing their jobs. We are in terrible trouble! Here is this email:
"Who is Donald Trump?"
By Donald Fredrick
The better question may be, "What is Donald Trump?"
The answer? A giant middle finger from average Americans to the political,academic and media establishment.
Some Trump supporters have simply had it with the Demo-socialists and the "Republicans In Name Only" class of people. They knew there wasn't a dime's worth of difference between Hillary Rodham and Jeb Bush, and only a few cents worth between Rodham and the other GOP candidates.
Ben Carson was not an "establishment" candidate, but the Clinton machine would pulverize Carson; and the somewhat rebellious Ted Cruz (justifiably so) would have been tied up with natural born citizen lawsuits (as might Marco Rubio). The Trump supporters figure they may as well have some fun tossing Molotov cocktails at Wall Street and Georgetown while they watch the nation collapse. Besides - lightning might strike, Trump might get elected, and he might actually fix a few things. Stranger things have happened (the nation elected an islamo-Marxist in 2008 and Bruce Jenner now wears designer dresses.)
Millions of conservatives are justifiably furious. They gave the Republicans control of the House in 2010 and control of the Senate in 2014, and have seen them govern no differently than Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Yet those same voters are supposed to trust the GOP in 2016? Why?
Trump did not come from out of nowhere. His candidacy was created by the last six years of Republican failures.
No reasonable person can believe that any of the establishment candidates (dems or reps) would have slashed federal spending, rein in the Federal Reserve, cut burdensome business regulations, reform the tax code, or eliminate useless federal departments (the Departments of Education, Housing and Urban Development, Energy, etc.). Even Ronald Reagan was unable to eliminate the Department of Education. (Of course, getting shot at tends to make a person less of a risk-taker.) No reasonable person can believe that any of the nation's major problems will be solved by Rodham as she is simply the third verse of Obama’s waning swan song.
Many Americans, and especially Trump supporters, have had it with:
§ Anyone named Bush
§ Anyone named Clinton
§ Anyone who's held political office
§ Political correctness
§ Illegal immigration
§ Massive unemployment
§ Our out of control federal spending
§ Our National Debt that exceeds our GDP (Can you say Greece?)
§ Phony "official" unemployment and inflation figures
§ Welfare waste and fraud
§ Money being spent on Illegal immigrants
§ People faking disabilities to go on the dole
§ VA waiting lists
§ TSA airport groping
§ ObamaCare
§ The Federal Reserve's money-printing schemes
§ Wall Street crooks like Jon Corzine
§ Michelle Obama's vacations
§ Michelle Obama's food police
§ Barack Obama's golf
§ Barack Obama's arrogant and condescending lectures
§ Barack Obama's criticism/hatred of America
§ Valerie Jarrett
§ " Holiday trees"
§ Hollywood hypocrites
§ Cop killers calling themselves Black Lives Matter
§ Gun confiscation
§ Stagnant wages
§ Boys in girls' bathrooms
§ Whiny, spoiled college students who can't even place the Civil War in the correct century
.. and that's just the short list.
Trump supporters believe that no Democrat wants to address these issues, and that few Republicans have the courage to address these issues. They know that Trump is their way of saying, "Screw you, Hillary Rodham and all the Do Nothing Republicans!" The more the talking he
Joan - 7 years ago
It's not just the American media, it's the candidates' surrogates as well. If only it were possible that anyone talking politics would have their noses grow aka Pinocchio when they tell a half-truth or outright lie. And they do it with a straight face, expecting the viewer to swallow whatever nonsense they are feeding us and are only to happy to feed us even more!
The BBC and CBC (Canada) have been my two main sources for news for quite some time. As you stated, Tina, anytime a celebrity gets a hangnail, hold the presses! But if a civil war breaks out in a part of the developing world we have no national interest in, it goes unreported.
I think the scariest thing about this election season is just how few people read a credible newspaper. The National Enquirer should not be anyone's source for political commentary. A free, objective and unencumbered press is the first line of defense essential for a democracy to thrive. Anyone who has studied 20th century European history should be very concerned, because it's deja vu all over again...
