COMMENT ON THE PRESS IN THE 2016 ELECTION
Below is a list of articles from the main page of The Guardian newspaper site on just a
single day, at about noon the day after the election.
Where’s the journalism? The extreme bias and complete lack
of balance and even judgment are painfully obvious to anyone, and there has been
a steady diet of this for months.
The summary effect resembles Chinese water torture done
using sewerage for the drips.
Here you will find a complete explanation of why the mass of
Americans just revolted against the establishment with their ballots.
Of course, The
Guardian is a British paper, but we see reflected in the titles the
Washington establishment’s total dominance of the information people receive
even in Britain.
