I'm so angry that the press is reporting on Flowers going to the debate. I wish they would report on

[mucifer]

The Actual Issues!!!

Can they report on the differences between the two candidates policywise? No

Can they report on the differences in experience between the two candidates? No

They have to report on this to try to make Hillary look weak because her husband had an affair. It is sickening.

[grossproffit]

1. Why would they start now? When have they ever discussed issues?

[shenmue]

3. True

[eShirl]

2. They want the ratings of a hit reality show. n/t

[mucifer]

4. They just don't give a crap

[workinclasszero]

19. Bingo

That's why they have been promoting this radical racist, anti constitution, anti american mongrel all along!

Big ratings is all they care about and the country can go straight to hell as far as they are concerned!

[sinkingfeeling]

5. Where's the report about FBI investigating Trump aide's connection to Russia?

[MADem]

6. Send them an email; complain. nt

[Old Union Guy]

7. What is the game plan? To make Hillary lose her cool?

Sheesh.

[tblue37]

10. She won't lose her cool. She will do this (metaphorically--not for real. The

media would treat it the way they treated Gore's sighs and eye roll.

22. Looks like whoever it was got all they could out of the story and then moved on.

Pence: Gennifer Flowers will not be at debate

23. OMG--Pence actually mocked Cuban for being just a TV star and sports team owner

rather than an experienced, knowledgeable office holder!

Pence's ill-considered snark from the article you linked:

Hillary Clinton apparently thinks this is an episode of 'Shark Tank,'” he said, adding, “Mark Cuban has been out there saying some pretty tough stuff about my running mate … [He] knows about as much about national security as I do about professional basketball (emphasis added).”

Talk about lacking a sense of irony or self-awareness!

8. We live in a capitalist society, to my dismay,

so the job of the media is to make as much money as possible. The philosophy of capitalism seems to dictate that profits are the highest good.

[Dem2]

9. Press= Entertainment Tonight

Stupid shit is better for ratings. Press will help elect a fascist if the ratings say they must.

[Vinca]

11. I'm more concerned that Trump is heading into full blown Bill Clinton attack mode.

Flowers is the tip of the iceberg

[mucifer]

12. Yes tv is his medium not hers.

he is a tv star. She is a wonk. The debates could be a mess. Especially if the moderator does not care about facts.

[Demsrule86]

16. She will do fine.

And she will beat Trump like a drum in November.

[grossproffit]

13. Trump's affairs & allegations will be front and center now. Pity, huh?

[Skidmore]

14. Go to the Media forum and

Find the post on call the media. Call them. Act. Or tweet to them.

[Demsrule86]

15. Hillary does not look weak...Donald does.

And he looks like a woman hater which he is...bye bye married women vote for Donald. As for actual issues...look back on prior campaigns and check out what the media reported. It is rarely about issues.

[LAS14]

17. I was relieved to find no mention on news.google.com, nor on cnn.com.

Where are you seeing this?

[Scruffy1]

18. No. There job is to make money.

The only good thing to come out of this awful election is some are waking up to the fact that the media is a huge stinking pile of crap. If you spend some time in red states you will find out that the main difference is that the people are exposed to non stop propaganda day and night from the "news" papers , radio and TV. It's not much better anywhere else. Having worked in both radio and print media I know that ad dollars rule. The consolidation of radio had a large part in keeping the Republican Party viable. When there were more independent radio stations , who relied on local advertising, it wasn't as bad. Once the outfits like clear channel took over it was about corporate money. Your only defense against the MSM is to turn it off.

20. Trump does not have any actual positions on issues

That's why he does things like invite Gennifer Flowers to the debate.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

21. CNN is covering it but making Trump look like an ass over it

It's going to be covered, so better to get it out of the way. Also, the people who don't know about it will think it's stupid for Trump to attack her for something done TO her years ago. Victim blaming and shaming was far more acceptable back in the 90's. This generation is far more intelligent and these kinds of smears will hurt Trump.
