Ok, this may be one of the most disturbing elements of this campaign...Russia trying to sway the election for Trump and Trump is either oblivious to what is going on or he is the driving force behind it, either way it tells you how absolutely unfit he is to hold any public office, never mind POTUS. Try to follow the bouncing ball...
- Newsweek reporter Kurt Eichenwald writes a story in October 2015 about Benghazi that includes a few sentences about HRC's responsibility
- HRC friend/supporter Sidney Blumenthal emails that article to HRC campaign manager John Podesta
- The Clinton campaign is hacked, and last week Wikileaks releases a bunch of John Podesta's emails
- Almost immediately, Russian-based "news" website Sputnik publishes an article that takes a few sentences from Eichenwald's article and attributes them to Blumenthal to create a false propaganda article that trys to say even Blumenthal blames Clinton for the deaths in Benghazi.
- Trump then takes the Sputnik article, which as noted is nothing more than Russian propaganda, prints out the sentences from Eeichenwald's article and reads them at a rally, saying that, "he [Blumenthal] is admitting that they could have done something about Benghazi. This just came out, a little while ago."
So there you have it, Trump is trying to use Russian-generated propaganda and presenting it as gospel. The question now is, is Trump or someone in his campaign collaborating with the Russians? Was this all planned out, or is he too lazy or reactionary or just to ill-equipped to actually check a patently false story from a Russian propaganda site before presenting it to his followers who are surely lapping it all up? This is not the first time he has done something like this, so when will enough be enough? There is a pattern developing here and is feels downright treasonous.

The entire media industrial complex save for Fox news is spewing daily propaganda to sink Candidate Trump.

No harm done. It's just more "free PR" for Trump, remember? Millions in free ads he didn't even have to pay for!
If Hillary brings the 3rd loss in a row to Republicans, who is to blame?

Everybody except Trump. It's all rigged against Trump.

It is so unfair for the media to report on things Trump says. They should just report on the size of Trump's rallies and not actually report anything else about him. Not fair at all.
what is the media industrial complex anyway?
If there is a biased media agenda, then what is their incentive for burying Trump? Part of being a successful leader is knowing your audience, knowing what they need, and knowing how to communicate with them. Obama mastered this, hence the media love fest. Trump, not so much. There's not a big enough audience who supports him, nor is that audience passionate and active enough to generate any ratings/revenue among them. The media will back who the majority supports (for ratings and money of course). In this case, it's a more profitable business decision to back Hillary due to her larger audience. Seems like Trump's inability to accurately assess our nation, combined with his inability to communicate effectively, is leading to his downfall. He forgot to value media support - big mistake.

I think the media just wants a good story and is not necessarily playing favorites. When Trump opens his mouth and says something stupid, that is a story and the media reports it. Back when Benghazi, Emails, and the Wikileaks DNC stories were news stories, the media covered it. The media wants readers/Watchers, so they report on the most interesting story of the day, whatever that may be.
Ok, this may be one of the most disturbing elements of this campaign...Russia trying to sway the election for Trump and Trump is either oblivious to what is going on or he is the driving force behind it, either way it tells you how absolutely unfit he is to hold any public office, never mind POTUS. Try to follow the bouncing ball...
Maybe we should follow some hard evidence, evidence that Russia is undermining the election much less is responsible for the hacked emails.

According to the FBI...
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/wsj-fbi-suspects-russia-podesta-email-hack
In addition to whatever evidence the FBI is looking at, the fact a known Russian propaganda site put out the false narrative about one specific hacked email almost immediately after wikileaks made the dump of hacked emails public, and that almost immediately after than it became the basis of Trumps stump speech is pretty strong circumstantial evidence as well...
- Newsweek reporter Kurt Eichenwald writes a story in October 2015 about Benghazi that includes a few sentences about HRC's responsibility
- HRC friend/supporter Sidney Blumenthal emails that article to HRC campaign manager John Podesta
- The Clinton campaign is hacked, and last week Wikileaks releases a bunch of John Podesta's emails

This just came out, a little while ago."
Trump was either fooled into presenting fabricated Russian propaganda as true, or he new it was untrue and used it anyway in which case he could very well be complicit in its creation.

Yeah, the FBI is corrupt so eff them and their evidence. You are so predictable. Where else do you think evidence is going to come from besides law enforcement?

And yet, if they announced criminal charges against Hillary today, you'd be calling them the finest law enforcement agency in the history of law.
