Media protects Hillary Clinton

Last year’s general-election process was a sham. “Transparency” and “change” were all part of the overall general policy – both were lies. This election cycle, the process is at its worst ever. The purpose of newspapers, magazines and television is to report the news – the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

This American tradition has disappeared. Hillary Clinton has been shielded and protected, and the facts ignored in regards to her disastrous failures as a politician. Does the media report it? No.

As the 2016 election contest continues, it is turning into the dirtiest war of words imaginable – smears, lies, and untruths. If the FBI fails to indict Clinton for her email fiasco, then our FBI director and Justice Department have failed in their sworn responsibilities.

Our country is at a turning point. Upward to unclog the drain, or downward into the sewer. And rubber boots or even hip boots won’t protect us. America is drowning in sewage.
