liespeak as fact, hiding behind the opinion designation which allows them to be as dishonest as they please.That’s absolutely it. In my mind, regardless of stance, all of the main stream media wants trump to win. It’s best for shareholders, and that’s all corporations care about. (In fact it’s illegal for them not to)
