Like it Never Really Happened!

That's the advertising phrase , “Like it Never Really Happened”, that the cleanup disaster company “Serv-Pro” uses to remind customers of their services. To hear and watch the media talk about the presidential campaign, you'd think that Hillary Clinton has led an exemplary life with little or no conflicts of interest or breeches of law. The media acts like a paid “Super Pac” of the Democrat Party, Democrats good, Republicans bad. They seem to completely overlook all of Hillary's indiscretions over the past 30 years, it's “Like it Never Really Happened”.

It seems that every 4 years the Democrats trot out the same old scenario, the Republicans are sexists, racists, bigots, homophobes, nativists, and a host of other epithets to demonize the Republicans (and now Trump). It seems that those damning words are okay, according to the media, if directed at the Republicans, but when Trump calls Hillary Clinton a bigot, the media goes crazy in pseudo-indignation and alarm. A perfect example of hypocrisy in action.

For example, CNN in their political reporting, brings up Trump in about 80% of its political stories, mostly all negative or confrontational. Interviewing Trump, or any Republican for that matter, will elicit pointed, biased questions to make the Republicans look insensitive, uncaring, and “stupid”. When a Democrat is interviewed (not Hillary, as she avoids most all interviews with a passion) the questions are generally considered “softball” questions to prop up their agenda, which is Liberal/Progressive. The bias is quite obvious and extensive to any fair-minded person listening to the give and take of the interviews.

Take this scenario, Trump makes a speech reaching out to the black and Hispanic communities, groups which he was criticized for by not addressing those communities concerns by the Democrats and the media in the past. But, instead of getting credit or praise for extending an “olive branch”, he was called a panderer, a phony, and for being insincere. You could say that Trump is damned if does and damned if he doesn't - a no-win situation that seems to be applied to Trump and the Republicans and not the Democrats. They call Trump a flip-flopper, but never point out that Hillary has flip-flopped on many issues including gay marriage, NAFTA, TPP, the Keystone Pipeline, and the war in Iraq, among other instances. It seems that she can do no wrong in the eyes of an adoring media. It is a “see no evil”, “hear no evil”, or “speak no evil” scenario that is so obviously blatantly biased that it that it is laughable, if it wasn't so sinister.

From now until the November election, all the focus of the media (the “lame stream media”) will be on demonizing and destroying Donald Trump personally and not debating the state of the economy (which has had worst recovery since the 1940's – ex. a 1.1% GDP for the 2nd quarter of 2016)), the racial unrest in Democrat controlled cities, stemming the flow of illegal immigration, and the turmoil in the world exacerbated by the policies of our country as directed by Obama, Clinton, and the Democrats. It seems like nothing really happened during the reign of Obama and Clinton to cause this disastrous climate in our country and around the world.
