The commentator kept laughingly insisting that Clinton needs to do more public relations outreach, and he clearly implied that her "failure" to do so is hurting her to Trump's benefit. It went on for long minutes, with the host chuckling the whole time, until Brown's annoyance was obvious--and who can blame him?

NPR, like all the other propaganda pipelines, makes a token effort to document the obscene absurdity of Trump's campaign, but they're more than happy to portray him as a viable candidate who's "no worse" than Clinton.

At least they stop reciting the "she's untrustworthy" mantra that they'd been parroting nonstop for the last few weeks...
