CNN and the rest of the mainstream media should have done this months ago
CNN ran a rather compelling piece where they went through a day in the tumultuous Donald Trump’s campaign that exposes him as a pathological liar.
Yesterday CNN ran a segment that revealed a few Donald Trump business failures.
CNN’s segment covered his failed mortgage business. There are many more failures that should be covered. After-all, they materially affected taxpayers as they bailed out this pompous ‘billionaire’ through his many business ventures.
The report was a bit shallow but an important start for MSM journalism at last.
The more recent CNN informational segment highlights a lying pathology likely unseen in American politics. Donald Trump cannot get through an interview without a multitude of lies. Unfortunately until recently, it was not called out.
The uncheck lies that were unchecked substantially by the mainstream media is an affront to American democracy. It allows those on the outside to question democracy. An article in the Global Times (China) said as much.
Fist fights among voters who have different political orientations is quite common in developing countries during election seasons. Now, a similar show is shockingly staged in the US, which boasts one of the most developed and mature democratic election systems.
Trump’s mischief has overthrown a lot of conventional norms of US political life.
America is now the laughing stock of the world. We have the most powerful army, the most robust economy, and a billionaire charlatan that could become its head. What is the rest of the world to do if Donald Trump is the man who has the nuclear codes and is the one who is called the leader of the free world.
Is it too late? The media failed America as the fourth arm of our democracy, the arm that saves it from itself. One hopes that there is time to prevent an already disengaged and low information populace from making the country’s biggest mistake in choosing a leader since its inception.
