Last night was one of her best times being spontaneous and personal. She really did open up. I do not know what they expect her to do different.

I did not get to see the whole thing but I did see the end. I saw what DJ was saying about them making her fit a double standard. I hate to say it but that is what this election is going to come down to. Some people are not going to vote for her because she is a woman. Obama was right to bring it up.

In my opinion, the Mainstream news industry in America is, at best, a broken industry. An industry that has mostly Failed us, the American people since 9/11.

And actually, I could make the case, that it’s been downhill for the American news media since the mid-to-late 90s with 24 hour cable news combined with the Rise of right-wing talk radio (Rush Limbaugh) and the elevation of Newt Gingrich to Speaker of the House.

To say that the American news media has been complicit in aiding Trump’s rise to the highest position in the land (and the World) would be an understatement!

Thank you DJ for this summary!

Wish I could say I’m surprised by the blatant double-standard exhibited by CNN last night against Kamala Harris. But I’m not.

Women, in general, have always been held to a double-standard in America. It’s worse when it comes to Blacks, and even moreso when it comes to women of Color…Especially Black women!

In fact, you could say that “it’s as American as apple pie.”
