Our Birther Media Is Acting Toward Hillary The Same Way Birther Trump Acts Toward Obama

Time for Team Hillary to point out the obvious parellel: just as Donald Trump "raised questions" about President Obama's birth certificate, but who continues to question Obama's legitimacy even after the President produced exactly the "proof" that was demanded, the media continues to "raise questions" about Hillary's emails/the CGI/her health/her supposed lack of transparency etc even after her emails have been thoroughly investigated and she has been exonerated by said investigation, even after it has been shown that there was no quid pro quo at the CGI, even after she has released her health records and provided an explanation for her getting overheated on Sunday, and even after she has provided more transparency on her taxes than any candidate in history.

Yes, it's true: the media is taking a page right out of Trump's birther playbook when they won't take transparency and truthful responses as an answer when it comes from Hillary Clinton. They are just as bad in acting as if no explanation was provided by Hillary as is Trump when he refuses to accept as valid the very proof he demanded of President Obama in the matter of his birth certificate.

The media IS Trump.

Who among the so called Independent Corporate Media is going to call this birtherism to task? Best guess is,ain't going to happen in my lifetime.
