The press’s understood purpose is to expose corruption,
misconduct and lying in the government because the government has no
competition, so we depend on the press to right any wrongs governments may commit.
This plan works well as long as the administration is Republican and then every
belch is reported and diagnosed by the liberal press and called corruption, which
is then accompanied with statements that the Republican administration is bad
and must be opposed by the public and the congress.
The problem comes about when the administration is
Democrat, and especially when it is an Obama or a Clinton administration (or a Hillary
Clinton campaign for the presidency). When the subject is a Democrat and some
dirt becomes visible, the press dutifully reports the news and then quickly closes
ranks and protects the Democrat in office.
This is what makes the WikiLeaks phenomenon so
interesting: the documents they have presented are exclusively anti-Hillary,
which helps Trump only so far as the press publishes the anti-Hillary documents,
which they are not doing to the full extent, and in some cases they are
completely burying the anti-Hillary information and keeping it from their
readers and viewers.
So we have WikiLeaks taking the place of the
constitutionally protected liberal press, digging up dirt on the Democrat
presidential candidate, but the mainstream press is dragging its heels and not
fully informing the American people of the significance of the information
discovered. In ordinary times WikiLeaks would be an ally of the liberal press,
but in this case they are sworn enemies.
The fact that WikiLeaks has been so successful in
exposing the corruption and lying of Hillary Clinton is what caused the Clinton
campaign and the press to become so totally occupied with the anti-Trump
allegations of unwanted sexual attention, much of it already proven to be lies,
that the Hillary people dug up as a counter measure against Donald Trump’s
campaign.
The left hates it that WikiLeaks is exposing devastating
things about Hillary and tipping the campaign in Trump’s favor, and the more
the press downplays and ignores the anti-Hillary evidence and instead directs
accusations at Trump, the more the American public understands that Hillary
would be a disastrous president and that the press would make no effort to
assure that a President Hillary abided by the laws and the constitution. And
speaking of the constitution, the press is shredding it with their partiality
toward the liberal Democrat candidate and their refusal to do their constitutional
duty.
