Election saw no sign of press objectivity

It doesn’t matter if you’re a progressive, conservative or independent, in this election cycle, we lost all semblance of an objective press corps. You could have charged admission to watch the meltdown of Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow at MSNBC when they realized that Hillary Clinton was a loser. Channel surfed to CNN and saw more progressives cry real tears and make nasty comments about Donald Trump.

As I write this five days after the results came in, the LA Times, New York Times and the Washington Post columnists should be arrested for animal abuse as they continue to beat a dead horse on the subject of Clinton’s loss.

Did a bunch of Google searches and could not come up with anywhere near the number of demonstrations and vandalism after President Barack Obama was elected in 2008 and re-elected in ’12 as compared to the criminal action of the Occupy Wall Street groups currently wreaking havoc all across the nation. OWS is bought and paid for by George Soros.

The stupidity of the young people interviewed on camera at these demonstrations is beyond comprehension! I suspect that we have more than our share of these frail urchins here in Durango. To those progressives that are afraid, I would point out that the sun did come up on the morning of Nov. 9, in spite of their misgivings.
