    It's really no different than all of the other 'huuge' business losses this election season has cost him.

    He's toxic. Sponsors will not have anything to do with him.

    Newspapers are already struggling. They cannot afford to lose any advertising dollars.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Sane people will not endorse an egotistical racist.
    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    rac·ist
    rāsəst/noun
    a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

    Trump is widely recognized as unfit for U.S. presidential office.
    I'll give Trump some credit.
    Earlier in his campaign he ridiculed candidates that used teleprompters.
    But when wild, press-grabbing assertions ("I'm gunna build a wall" "Mexico's gunna pay for it" "I'll deport all the illegal aliens" "suspend Muslim immigration") had run their course, pragmatism forced Trump to an actual message. And so then Trump began to use a teleprompter.

    BUT !!

    It's too steep a learning curve. POTUS is not the kind of job we want the one that holds the office to learn OJT.
    Sadly, that leaves Secretary Clinton as the obvious next choice.

    - uh oh ! -

    The problem is that so few of his supporters can read and write that it scarcely matters. What he needs is some of our British newspapers, which are about his level, full of insane hatred and spite against anything decent, and sworn to fight truth wherever it appears, in words of one syllable. Heil Murdoch - who needs Trump?

    Major newspapers are corporate media. They can't be trusted

    Oh wait, now corporate media can be trusted? Trying to understand here when they can and can't.

    You can't even back your argument Desh. So it's not a principled stand you take its just a phrase you use when something is said you don't like

    I see. So it comes down to if they agree with you not. If they do then you say nothing. If they don't then you call them corporate media.

    How do you stay informed without corporate media? What non corporate sites inform you?
