Rachel Maddow On The Trump Era -- The Gaslighting, Hillary Hate Era

The vile, poisonous, damned lies this country has been fed by Mr. Lock Her Up, now Mr. Lock HIM Up.

The vicious hybrid war of lies -- for decades, across continents -- against the greatest and most admired woman of her time.

We must not let them quietly slink away with their reptilian tales.

Nor should the New York Times be allowed peace.

NYT owes the nation an editorial of apology.

Somehow the laissez-faire crowd always gets their column space just about anywhere.

Milton Friedman, Kudlow, polluters, Birch all share common threads. And they DID want Trump's deregulation agenda because it meant a lot of money for companies. The right to pollute is prob worth hundreds of billions annually because they don't have to install, monitor, maintain clean operations.

Glad you posted that, rare for anyone of any stature to publicly challenge the Times.

I hope more news hosts bring this up through the whole year.

I don't want a week to go by without any media getting criticized over their treatment of Hillary.
