The smear campaign by Fox News against Purple Heart recipient Vindman made me ill. How can opinion news hosts sink so low to accuse him of being a traitor or spy? Years and years of exemplary service, bravery and loyalty. This time of course the President, with no evidence called him a “never Trumper” with no supporting evidence.
Im not saying CNN is any better, but how have we come to be a nation where “News” hosts are allowed to make up or infer whatever they want in order to forward their personal biases?
Between the fake ads on Facebook and other platforms, and the major news outlets all spewing their hate and bias I just cannot see where we are going as a nation. I have to tell myself in the long run all will be good, but sometimes I get so darn discouraged. How are we going to get qualified candidates to run when immediately the so called reporters immediately launch into a dig for any personal mistakes or Information that can take down anyone that does not share their beliefs? I doubt that there is anyone who at one time in their youth, has not done something they regret, or at least it was a misstep. Maybe an email or photo, or remark. Especially the further back you dig. I’m losing hope.
