U.S. Presidential debate

[kandrathe]

Difficult to sling mud effectively, if you only have one outlet to get that mud to the people - Fox news. OTOH, Marxists have let's see....MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS and numerous printed so called "publications", that have been (and still are) slinging mud on Trump ever since he became the Rep nominee. The truly amazing fact is that Trump won DESPITE everything that has been thrown at him and despite EVERYTHING that the mainstream media has been supressing about Clinton.

If that does not give someone food for thought, then they are as blind as a mole. This condition can be very closely duplicated by burying one's head in the sand.

There is that small town in Macedonia. There are so many outright lies flying around social media. By default now I don't believe anything until I investigate it myself. For example; the current buzz that Steve Bannon is anti-Semitic. I'm not any fan of Brietbart's click bait, but we need to be accurate about people before we denounce them. I'd say he's definitely a schmuck, and an old white curmudgeon, and like Trump. And, like Trump, he's attractive to Alt-Right. But, given the alt-rights choices, who'd they have to support? Trump.

But... Yes. The NYT, WP, most major news outlets. Here is the best we can hope for so far in any objective journalism critique; http://shorensteincenter.org/news-covera...primaries/

There will be more scholarly analysis to come I'm sure.
