Letter to the editor: Mainstream media should be held accountable

There ought to be an accounting and punitive measures taken against the mainstream media, especially CNN and MSNBC, for what they do to the people who watch, listen and believe. Fortunately, many folks are realizing that many of the accusations against President Trump are baseless. So MSNBC’s ratings are down and CNN’s viewership has fallen below those of HGTV and the Cartoon Network.

The more impressionable folks who don’t yet understand that they are being manipulated continue to tune in and believe. One recent letter-writer ridiculously stated that Trump is responsible to prove himself innocent of each accusation. Trump is labeled a racist simply because he responds to situations, accusations and name-calling by people of color.

The once patriotic, family- and middle-class-oriented Democratic Party of Judeo-Christian values has been hijacked by the angry, radical liberal/progressive/socialists. I pray that the good, honest, patriotic, life-loving folks who unknowingly continue to support this evil will somehow see the light and reject it.

The next, and totally predictable, anti-Trump weapon of the Democrats and their mainstream media accomplices will be an endless, 24/7 cacophony of a looming recession in the hope of a self-fulfilling prophecy. They are willing to sacrifice the well-being of our country and its people to damage Trump.
