Press Secretary for Clinton?  I don't think there was a lot of truthful reporting there.  But I do worry about Trump and the media.  Who wouldn't after the Primaries?

Especially considering the way FOX news became his go to outlet when he wanted to throw his biggest lies out there. He sat there and said Rafael Cruz was involved in the JFK assassination and the FOX and friends simpletons just nodded knowingly with concerned looks on their faces. Nobody even bothered to do any of that icky journalism crap.

CNN actually looked into the story and concluded it was crap and we all know they're no fans of conservatives especially a socio/economic conservative like Cruz.

And then the very next day Trump admitted to Wolf Blitzer that he didn't believe the story but he wanted to win.

Within days of that interview, Trump returned to repeating the lie because he knew his fine Christian voters would let him could get away with it.

I call that whole mess bad judgment and not something that a president would do.  And Fox not calling him out on it?  I don't watch FOX anymore.  Trump did and still does act like a child.
