Now we know why the options are dog vomit and cow feces at the polls this year. It wasn't just the mainstream media...

    OK. So Breitbart preferred Trump and The DNC concluded that Trump would be the easiest to beat. Both wanted Trump but for different reasons. Politics does indeed make for strange bedfellows. The two sides collaborated while supporting diametrically opposed goals. Such is the nature of politics, it has its own system of logic.

    Machiavelli would be impressed.

    Me dino voted for Cruz in the primary.
    So the Dems feared Rubio the most. Methinks Cruz better represented my hardcore preserve the Constitution values.
    Me dino can see why the Dems considered Trump a joke in comparison.
    Oh, well, I'd vote for Bozo the Clown if I thought he stood a chance of keeping the evil hag of continuing Obamanable polices, Merkel flooding the country with unvetted refugees and stacking the Supreme Court with Constitution shredders.

    And an "establishment" Republican candidate would have been an improvement? Considering the dirty tricks Republican insiders have unleashed over the years on Ron Paul and others (when they were not otherwise occupied caving in to Democrats), they richly deserved payback.

      You are missing the point entirely. The point was that we knew the lamestream media was in the tank for their preferred candidate: Hillary Clinton. And as their affiliations and underhanded dealing become public they are suffering the consequences. New media was supposed to avoid that same trap: the trap of losing journalist status to become merely another brand of editorialists. Facebook has their editorial crew pushing certain articles. Google is actively censoring things. There was a hope that Internet-based media was going to return to real journalism, but everywhere I look I see agenda, agenda, agenda. I'm sure that if Andrew Breitbart were still alive that these types of things would have been severely frowned upon.

      The problem is that we now have two candidates of which neither is going to protect Constitutional values. And that is in large part because of the media narratives being put forth about the various candidates throughout the course of this election year. I want reporting - not editorializing and favoritism. It appears that I can't get that from any major news source now.

        Re: " I want reporting - not editorializing and favoritism. It appears that I can't get that from any major news source now." Evidently there is not sufficient demand for the type of reporting you prefer, otherwise there would be news sites to cater to your preferences. The Internet is full of successful sites that appeal to relatively small market segments. And part of the problem is that both the mainstream and the alternative media are focused on "two candidates of which neither is going to protect Constitutional values." If you want Constitutional values you will need to look beyond the two major-party candidates and their sycophants in the press. That's been the case for a long time now.

          So you are in favor of the "reporting" we get today? You seem more concerned about retribution against specific candidates than that the institution the Founding Fathers relied upon as a check on government as a whole is now become nothing more than another branch of the government itself. That is what concerns me. We'll never get a Constitutional President without a press that actually reports on all the malfeasance in government. We'll never get an impeachment without the press. It is nigh unto impossible to hold our elected representatives accountable to the voters without the press.

          Of course if this is to be seen merely as one more thread unraveling in our republic...

            I'm not in favor of the "reporting" we get today, but I get my news from multiple sources pushing multiple agendas and rely on my judgment to separate the wheat from the chaff. The Internet provides far more access to different points of view than was available to the general public in the past. There wasn't an "objective" press of any consequence during our Founding Fathers' day, and yet the country somehow survived and prospered.

              The problem is that much of what the current press does is simply not report at all. They just don't run the story, so there is no information on which to act - biased if it may be!

              As to how you conclude that there was no objective press during the days of the Founders, I don't know how you'd come to that conclusion.

                The really sad truth in this is Trump is the best candidate among those who were available to fight this last stand for the Republic. We face a single party oligarchy determined to make the US into another kakistocracy like so many other dictatorships. The only one who would, as Trump has done, call for Hillary to be in jail on the public state is Trump. The only one who could take on the media fight was Trump. He may not be perfect, but he is a fighter and that is what is needed. Trump 2016, because he is the only game in town to stop the invasion.

    I didn't read anything in the URL that proves Breitbart colluded with the DNC, except a typical Gen Beck leap to a conclusion outcome that he wanted to happen. I believe that Beck is sincere in his desire to create doubts about Trump, But that doesn't make his pronouncements right.

    This is a classic 'con' deflect
    Breitbart was pushing for Ted Cruz until Trump got the nomination. Anyone that listened to or followed Breitbart KNOWS THIS FACT!

    Looks like Glenn Beck is trying to hurt the online news site that OUTED HIM for the phony conservative he claims to be; He is a leftist plant.

    Oh, this is So getting shared on my LibProg family FB site. (I have a hidden separate site for my rational political groups and friends.) Kind of like this one.

    And...

    "I'm shocked, amazed, perhaps revolted!"

    Proper IP attribution:that is from the trailer to "Reefer Madness".

    I kid you not.

    More insanity from the man in the strait jacket. Glenn Beck has become obsessive-compulsive about Cruz "holy mission" to become God's choice to lead the country being sabotaged by Donald Trump, whom he now considers Satan's agent to destroy America.

      Of you've listened to Beck lately, they've had quite the falling out since Cruz sold his donor list to the RNC. Beck specifically did not want to get solicited by Trump yet only a few days after Cruz "endorsed" Trump, Beck got a call. Beck asked Cruz about it in an interview and Cruz deflected. Beck expressed his open dismay and disappointment.

      Beck thought that of the original list of candidates, Cruz was one of the very few that actually espoused conservative and Constitutional values. Rand Paul was also on that list. Beck originally thought Cruz could have been a modern George Washington, but he's soured substantially, which is why he had on Evan McMullin.

      Beck's criticisms of Trump started from day one, however, and he's gone to substantial lengths into Trump's past - as well as his socialist proposals such as paid maternity leave, etc. - to show how Trump is anything but a Constitutionalist OR conservative. And he's right in that regard. Trump is neither a conservative nor a Constitutionalist.

        Trump is not any kind of political type. He is an empathetic manager, and has considered a variety of approaches to dealing with his employees issues. I have to volunteer that I have taken the time to consider even the most socialist solutions to problems. That doesn't make me a socialist.

        Beck is a narrow minded pinhead. As a former fan, I'm disappointed in his turn to a very limited view of the world.

        We are in the midst of a populist revolution, and the idea that a pure ideology is going to be part of that process is naive.
