JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: THE ROLE OF THE PRESS IN THE 2016 AMERICAN ELECTION - STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH


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.
