Thanks to WikiLeaks, it has been demonstrated that members of the media have colluded with the Clinton campaign to improve her electoral chances, a stellar violation of all putative journalistic standards. The response from the majority of the media? Ostracism? Dismissal? No, just an indifferent shrug. This should be a career-ruining scandal for all involved and yet it has provoked little more than yawns among the corrupt journalists' colleagues. They all do it and none are in a position to cast stones. However, had any of them done the same for Trump, that person would be a pariah.
As noted in previous blogs, the media is either a lapdog or an attack dog depending on which party is in power. Being distrustful of government, I want an attack dog that challenges every encroachment and every move of government. The only way that happens is when Republicans are in office. That is the unfortunate truth.
