Several big city newspapers had no picture of Hillary Clinton on the

front page on the day she was nominated for President of the United States. Several had pictures of Bill.

The Minneapolis Star Tribune had a photo of three women delegates sobbing.

Enough said.

I have cancelled several newspaper subscriptions over their treatment of Hillary. If they run only nasty stuff about her, I call 'em , tell 'em why , and cancel the subscription.

Screw 'em.

On the positive side "The National Enquirer" has had a unflattering picture of Hillary with the headline stating she will lose to Trump. Which almost guarantees a win.

Had a dull picture of Hillary at the top quarter. They gave a Trump visit almost as much space. The USA Today insert had a nice picture but injected a lot of negativity in each story.

She's just "the second Clinton."

Old news. Nothing to see here. Business as usual.

My state (Michigan)





Smaller papers in my state:



West side of the state... Republican central- think DeVos.




East side of the state.





Capital of the state.

He showed several papers that headlined Hillary, but had photos on the front pages of Bill during his speech. Colbert quipped, "Hillary looks very presidential there."
