For all the people who wrote letters professing their utter hatred for Donald Trump, I just want to say I sympathize with you. If I watched and read only mainstream -MSS-media (because you know, FOX lies, even though unlike all the anonymous sources MSS uses and then has to disavow, I can actually hear things coming out of actual mouths on actual video) I would hate him too!
For instance the paradoxically named Springfield Republican, via the AP, hasn’t printed an honest story about Trump, or printed a letter from me for that matter, since good old uncle Joe bested Hillary in 2016. You know Uncle Joe, the civil service salaried multi-millionaire?
Or they simply do not print anything contrary to their ideology. You, my friends, live in a media bubble.
Also, if I only watched MSS media I would detest Trump because he is such a racist hater. Because, well you know, because they say he is. Though since I’ve been actually listening to him for four years I haven't heard one racist statement while I know he has lifted up countless black lives and incomes.
And of course he is greedy, and giving up his civil service salary is a ruse to make us think he doesn’t want to use the presidency to add a few thousand bucks to his billions.
So yes, I don’t blame you for your seething hate all you tolerant CNN and PBS listeners and readers of dishonest newspapers. (I’m looking at you NY Times and Springfield Repulican readers.) But I would hate even more the media for lying to me and covering up information the public needs to honestly evaluate the contenders for the President of the United States, and I would be embarrassed for believing them.
But go ahead, vote for Uncle Joe. He’s trustworthy you know, the media says so. Just like another Uncle Joe and his house organ, the KGB.
