The trust in U.S. journalism is at a historic low. Most Americans now accept the U.S. media is completely dishonest. However, the media reporters claim such public opinions are unwarranted.
Here’s today’s audio/visual demonstration from NBC reporter Katy Tur in Akron Ohio.
Now check out the truth:
With Secretary Clinton essentially disappearing from the campaign trail (focusing almost exclusively on fundraising), many people have noted an unusual scheduled event for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton appearing on her calendar, a fundraiser in Amsterdam – North Holland, by former U.S. Ambassador Timothy Broas .
If, as the media continue to espouse, Hillary Clinton has an “insurmountable lead” in the presidential race, why so much emphasis on raising money for a contest her team claims is easily already won? What gives?… and why Amsterdam for a fundraiser?
Let’s take a look, beginning with the guy trying to raise the money for the campaign; the “speaker”, Timothy Broas.
Candidate Donald Trump heads to Ohio today for a rally in Akron, at James A. Rhodes Arena. Live coverage begins at 7:00pm EDT:

By now most CTH readers are familiar with the more notoriously biased polling manipulators.
One of those is Patrick Murray from Monmouth University [@PollsterPatrick on Twitter].
If you want to know where his political affiliations lie, you only need to read his twitter feed. Murray has also been on Fox News with Bill O’Reilly several times selling his polling results to the unwitting audience.
Today, Monmouth via Patrick Murray presents a presidential poll of Ohio voters. The actual raw data (pdf available here – see pg, 6 and 7) showed Donald Trump with a lead in the result; however, Murray changed the data through weighting to show Hillary Clinton with a lead.
“GOUSAAMER114” pointed out the manipulation:
Monmouth just announced that Clinton leads Trump 43-39 in Ohio. But Pollster Patrick actually laid out what he did on pages 6 and 7 of the PDF.
He sampled 402 voters. In the unweighted sample, the split was 33.3R/29.3D/35.6I. With that split, Trump leads Clinton 41-39 in Ohio. But Pollster Patrick re-weighted it to a 29R/33D/37I split. Nothing else was re-weighted.
It’s obvious Murray didn’t expect to be called out on it – because when confronted with what he did, pollster Patrick Murray flat out lied. (more…)
Donald Trump appeared on Fox and Friends this morning and discussed some current political events including the Clinton Foundation.
In various media presentations you will often hear of Florida listed as a “battleground state“; some media call Florida a “swing state“.
Historically, this has been an accurate representation for the past 5 presidential election cycles. However, changes in the past several years position Florida as highly favorable to a Donald Trump win.
Here’s why we can be confident that Donald Trump will win Florida. The following table lists voter registration as complied by the Florida Division of Elections:
Source Link Here – As noted above, in 2012 Democrats held a 558,272 registration advantage over Republicans; Mitt Romney lost the state of Florida to President Obama by 73,189 votes (50% to 49.1%) – Source.
Notice since 2012 Republican registration has increased by 164K, while Democrat registration has actually decreased by 135k. (more…)
Several recent articles are spotlighting a ridiculous transparency in the way the U.S. media is covering the 2016 Presidential Election.
The New York Post has one such outline titled “American Journalism Collapsing Before Our Eyes“:
[…] The shameful display of naked partisanship by the elite media is unlike anything seen in modern America.
The largest broadcast networks — CBS, NBC and ABC — and major newspapers like The New York Times and Washington Post have jettisoned all pretense of fair play. Their fierce determination to keep Trump out of the Oval Office has no precedent.
Following a Hispanic outreach meeting by the Trump campaign numerous media outlets began reporting that Donald Trump was changing his position on immigration, specifically deportation of illegal immigrants. The Trump campaign immediately rebuked the false media reports last night.
Senator Jeff Sessions appeared on Fox News this morning to continue asserting the campaign message that illegal border crossing will be halted, deportation of illegal aliens will be enforced and there is no substantive change to Donald Trump’s immigration position.
The media loves to use the term “deportation force” to manufacture an narrative of a new controversy. However, there is already a federal agency called ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) who routinely arrest and deport illegal aliens. Despite the media protestations to the contrary ‘deportation is not a new concept’, we have been deporting people for decades.
As the campaign continues, some interview segments worth noting.
