Demise Of Journalism As We Know It?

A tale of two opposing journalistic views

One slanted to the Head Red the other to the Head Blue

The NY Post bemoans the death of journalism as it once was known

USA Today bemoans the seeds of suppression of disagreeing views being sown

Ever since the Sullivan case for public figures removed the threat of libel and slander

Objective reporting in the mainstreams is not about news but rather the advocacy of views to pander

Epitaphs like moron, unfit, lacking temperament to be commander in chief are at Trump hurled

While with each passing moment we become more aware of the dangers in this world

Do we continue to go down the Obama path of a weak recovery that will continue to exist?

Devoid of strategy to name and then radical Islam with a winning strategy resist

Or will we go down the path of creating jobs and forming a secure border

While we in the inner cities improve education and restore some sense of law and order?

Where negotiations result in more favorable trade deals

And not a green light for more jobs to foreign nations steal?

Trump is making a pivot to the personal attacks drop

Save the allegations of Hillary’s pay to play shakedowns she could not stop

With that divot one would hope that he thickens quickly his skin

Recognizes the media will gang up on him and do everything possible to insure he cannot win

If the master of the art of the deal accepts the fact that these leftists are mere Baghdad Bobs only much worse

He will ignore them and start jabbing each waking moment at Hillary’s failures and avoid being limited to the counter punching curse
