No. The Free Press is there to say what they want, even when they say assholish things like Fox News says.

Yes, except that some people are easily influenced, especially when Fox News reports lies as truths.

Nothing has changed.

They just can't seem to figure out how to get rid of Trump.

Florina was never going to get any votes. She just isn't smart, strong or experienced enough to be president.
They can't get rid of trump because too many dopes like him. But here's the thing. If I were the Kochs or other kings of the republican party, I would do nothing for now. Trump is already burning out. All the other candidates, especially Ted Cruz, are just playing the waiting game at this point. Trump peaked too soon, and Cruz and others are starting to see a way in.

He won't be for long. But keep in mind that this fall will have nothing to do with the media. He will have killed his political career all on his own.

Again, it's not the press - it's him.

I have a sneaking suspicion that people who used to like the guy are finally coming to their senses.
