All The Spin In The World Can't Erase What The People Saw And Heard Last Night.....

Aren't these spinners embarrassed? Don't they have integrity? Don't they realize that they are destroying their own credibility when they lie for a liar?

And they believe that they are respectable and have respectful jobs. They don't - the lie for money.

You know who has respectable jobs? Immigrants that come to this country because they want to live in freedom and better themselves. I'm talking produce pickers in the fields and farms of this country. Restaurant workers that service us. Landscapers that toil in our back yards to make our neighborhoods beautiful. Hotel workers that provide us with clean hotel rooms, bed linens and towels. Essentially - those that provide a service to us on the backs of their sweat. They are respectable. Not the spinners that have no integrity and lie to us for money - to make us believe that we didn't see what we saw.

This presidential election cycle has opened my eyes and I don't like what I see.

Its just one big club. They party together and pat each other on the back. Its a club, and corporate journalism is a welcome member.

...corporate journalism is more akin to the yard boy or the upstairs maid. They are tolerated because they serve a purpose.

their opinions are of no more value than anyone else's. They are pathetic in their attempts to be an influence on other people and the election.
