Riddle me this.... [View all]

I hope someone here can talk me down. With everything that is surfacing about Trump and everything that has already surfaced amounting to a garbage island the size of the land mass of Asia... Why does the MSM allow him to hang around? I know there is the theory that he is good for ratings and the horse race and all of that, but... I am suspicious of those excuses.

I mean... here is a media that burned down Dukakis for riding in a tank, who swiftboated Kerry... a true patriot. This is the media who burned down Dr. Dean for giving a rousing victory speech ending with a Football rally touchdown whoop.

After everything... they still have their gloves on. They still tread lightly.
What hidden hand is keeping them on the chain? This is what keeps me up at night.

Any theories?
