Headline shows truth of press bias

Posted January 10, 2017 12:00 am

You wonder why the press is looked upon with disdain? Simply look at one of your headlines on the front page of Dec. 30, "Obama punishes Russia."

Give me a break, the only punishment Obama has imposed is on the American people these past eight years. You really think Mr. Putin cares about what our lame duck president does in the next few days? Don't think so.

By the way, how in fact did Russia affect our elections? Madame Clinton lost the election on her own.

Keep regurgitating the fake news about Russian hacking. The Russians hacked a couple of email accounts and spread the truth about the Clintons and their corrupt business practices. That's the extent of the Russian Hacking. Period.

One more thing, if I want to read sourced news stories from the leftist Washington Post every day in my Daily Herald, I would subscribe to The Washington Post. I am so thankful I have Brietbart and the Drudge Report to keep my mind engaged with conservative viewpoints.

Thank you and have a terrific New Year.
