It’s bad enough that so many Republicans have drunk the Kool-Aid, believing that Hillary Clinton has committed heinous crimes despite the fact that their own repeated investigations (often at taxpayer expense) have found absolutely nothing.
But the fact that so many Democrats believe this crap too is very depressing. Democrats are supposed to be above phony conspiracy nonsense.
While there are undoubtedly Republicans holding their noses when backing Trump, many appear willing to excuse or ignore the facts altogether, writes Sally Kohn.

I have three questions. First. Why did the media allow Trump pundits/surrogates so much slack in spouting innuendo,conspiracy and pivots while the Hillary support actually answered the questions directly? Second why did the media not question the HYPOCRISY from the “Christians”? EXAMPLE:Mormons NOT heeding Mitt Romney or Glen Becks lead and the Melania Trump PUBLIC nudity/SOFT porn? And third. Why or who in the Clinton strategy room/team disregard the rural America vote?
Roye,
That is THE question. There is a massive failure of our media to respond to the ability of the “alternative” media to create false realities. Not just the right but many in the left actually beleive the bizarre realities put forward by Fox and Breitbart.
This is not just a problem on the right. The Bernie community has the same beliefs and has acquired these as if by the result of a viral infection. If you look hereon TA, I write about tis as “FARS.”
