National persuasion, propensity, or bias?

Donald Trump and Republicans were crying foul today on new shows. They don't like the way that the election polling is trending. Instead of assuming responsibility for the results, they seek to blame others including "the media."

First of all, it would be a national disgrace for the American people to continue to support a bigot and sex perv for president. As President Obama aptly pointed out, the qualities and values expressed in the words and deeds of Donald Trump are not aligned with family values, religious beliefs or most any other standard. In point of fact, Donald Trump has divided his already divided party into more pieces. All of that contributed to the dysfunctional government that Americans have experienced since the GOP took over Congress.

They call for change and are right about that. Congress should not host incumbents.

As for accusing the media of bias, journalists report the fact. The facts may be manipulated to various degrees. Some news organizations are owned by persons who are aligned with Donald Trump and Republican ideology. Some of them cross the line from objectivity into the realm of propaganda.

This analyst believes that the nation's propensity is more toward progressive ideas and less toward conservatism.

It is up to voters to determine fact, fiction and folklore along the way. As a nation, we can only hope that voters are becoming more intelligent about their choices.

Stories about Donald Trump's treatment of women include his own words. That is hard to deny, but he still tries.
