Pretty much. Yet I heard a TYT anchor say just the other day if LePen won it had NOTHING TO DO WITH RACISM, because "banking connections."

Right? Me too, for years! I can't understand why politicians, especially in this day and age, haven't realized this. It's insane! The second you send it over the internet, you lose control of it--not the least because you can never rely on what your recipient will do with it, but obviously in the case of politics, because of hacking. Russian hackers are waging cyberwarfare and our politicians are simple-minded fools at this point. Gee, if only we'd had a candidate who recognized this, and used a far more secure, private server.....

No, it prevents them. But if we reach a critical mass of all of the decent people blocking them, after a while, they won't be able to see anything other than other trolls.

Add MSNBC to the list. However much I enjoy Rachel Maddow, the coverage during the Primaries and then the General was incredibly biased. Chris Hayes had crawled so far up Sanders ass that he was broadcasting from Sanders colon. While on the one hand, broadcasting from what could be considered a remote location was sort of an impressive feat, it really skewed his reporting with a significant anti-Clinton bias.

That's OK. It will also directly increase hospital costs.

You do understand there is a significant difference between endorsing a candidate, and ratfucking someone. And yes the Estados Unidas has a storied history of shitpot stirring. Next time don't be so prolix, and in the time being feel free to fuck yourself.
