What needs to be investigated for 'pay to play' is the 24/7 cable news networks. There

has to be something amiss in the way that they twist the facts in what they call he news. Trump has refused to release his taxes and medical records, and CNN is still focusing on what kind of pneumonia Clinton has and if she needs to be back on the campaign trail, totally. Damn, what about what is in Trump's lab work.

to being biased against Democrats) was clearly stated when a few "journalists" pretty much whined that she's "not accessible" to them, which is total bullshit.

They claim that Con-Don is accessible, but it's got nothing to do with informing the public (isn't that the fourth estate's fiduciary responsibility?) and everything to do with keeping that "horse race" going in order to bilk the Clinton Campaign of the millions in funds she's been able to raise in order to defend herself from those unchallenged lies, trying to force her to use that money in overpriced ads.

What better excuse (agitator) to get their slimy hands on Democratic campaign funds for ads than Don-the-Con's permanent mug and blatant lying tirades broadcast on all cable and broadcast news networks?

They've decided to use Don-the-Con by giving him billions in free face-time and make Democrats (again) pay their bills.

The ultimate pay to play scheme.
