It's disturbing that the deplorable violence at Trump rallies is evidently no longer 'newsworthy'

"It has been widely reported that outside a Trump rally in Asheville, North Carolina, Monday night, Sept. 12, a 69-year-old woman was “cold-cocked” (her word) by an irate Trump supporter. The woman, Shirley Teter, later asked a reporter rhetorically: “Why did I get involved yesterday, at my age? Because I ran into another situation that was sickening my heart.” Ms. Teter preserved her sense of whimsy and irony, for she also asked whether “people find a Trump supporter punching her in the face deplorable.”

by refusing to provide coverages for the on-going hateful incidents at Trump's rallies as well as many of the blatant lies that Trump has put out, without even doing the journalistic fact checks.

On the contrary, any negative things pertaining to Hillary, or even the lies toward her, would undoubtedly recycle throughout the day, making certain that every viewer takes notice! It is painful to witness that even the so-called Democratic leaning media also is doing the same unfair treatment toward Hillary!

I will not give up and allow the media to influence my decision. I will vote For Hillary and all of the Democratic candidates when November 8 arrives.
