Media “controlled” election message, says reader

This is in response to Stephen Somerville’s “Front Porch Perspective” on President Elect Trump on November 24.
It was refreshing to read a different perspective than what has been provided in much of the media
coverage of this campaign.
The media is biased in its reporting of Trump.
A 2014 survey showed that 93 per cent of journalists in the U.S. are Democrats. WikiLeaks emails showed the unethical connection between the New York Times, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC and others as they operated as an extension of the Clinton campaign.
Their perspectives were parroted in our Canadian media.
Dr. Alveda King, Dr. Martin Luther King’s niece, endorsed Trump, as did Obama’s half- brother. When Trump was a Democrat, he was praised by Rev. Jesse Jackson for being a role model for diversity in hiring in New York as well as being a friend.
Despite having no proof of racism, the media and others labelled Trump a racist.
After eight years, Obama has added $9.6 trillion in debt, and will be the only President not to have a year of 3 per cent GDP growth. Obama’s legacy includes the lowest labor participation rate since the 1970s, the worst economic recovery since the 1940s, and the lowest home ownership rate in 51 years. Obamacare is imploding with insurers running for the hills, and costs skyrocketing for the foreseeable future.
Clinton represented a continuation of Obama’s failed policies including failed foreign policy.
Unlike Clinton, Trump was not supported by Wall St., the Washington elite, the media, lobby groups or the billionaire anarchist George Soros.
No wonder so many Americans voted for a non-politician with a proven track record as a builder and a businessman even if he occasionally makes insensitive remarks.
