He interjects statements like "lies about everything," speculates that her "Muslim advisors" will be making the decisions for her, calls other Democrats "cronies," and says "Hilary and the DNC simply do not care about America."

As it is, despite his 32 years of medical experience, I question how objective he really is, even though he has that "you-are-a-pyscho-patient-who-might-go-postal-when-I-give-you-the-diagnosis-and-this-is-my-most-soothing-bedside-manner" voice. (Or perhaps because of the voice.)

Quote: Hillary Clinton's campaign released additional details about her health and recent bout with pneumonia on Wednesday.

A letter from Clinton's doctor states the Democratic presidential nominee last Friday was diagnosed with mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia. "She is recovering well with antibiotics and rest. She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as president of the United States," said Dr. Lisa Bardack, Clinton's doctor.


The new information follows Trump's release of additional medical disclosures during a taping of the Dr. Oz Show earlier on Wednesday. That information, however, has not been provided to reporters. Other highlights from the letter include:
a) Clinton is currently taking Armor Thyroid, Coumadin, Levaquin (temporarily), Clarinex and B-12 as needed.
b) Her blood pressure is 100/70; heart rate of 70; respiratory rate of 18; temperature of 97.8 and pulse-oximetry of 99 percent.
c) Clinton's vaccinations are "up to date" and include Prevnar and Pneumovax.
d) She has had a normal mammogram and breast ultrasound. Lab testing (vitamin D, CBC, fasting blood glucose, comprehensive metabolic panel, hemoglobin A1-C, vitamin B-12) is "normal," including cholesterol of 189, LDL of 103, HDL of 56 and triglycerides of 159.

Dr. Bardack said, "the remainder of her complete physical exam was normal and she is in excellent mental condition."

One of those twists being the Washington Post effectively backing the conspiracy theory cum utter rubbish that it's the Russians and Trump who poisoned Hilary.

The undead that now inhabits US journalism just plunged another wooden stake through its own heart - just to be sure.

I think the work of the establishment media in pushing this Russian nonsense so strongly suggests something much worse is afoot. By which I mean plan B is to false flag the robot, and slip Biden into the race.

Such a sequence would scratch any number of itches at once, from averting what now appears a certain Trump victory, to the Ukraine and beyond (most obviously Syria).

Quote: The undead that now inhabits US journalism just plunged another wooden stake through its own heart - just to be sure.

Quote: Americans have grown increasingly suspicious of the media in recent years, but this year trust in media fell to an all-time low. A new Gallup poll found only 32 percent of Americans say they believe the media can "report the news fully, accurately and fairly." That number was at 40 percent last year. Media trust in the U.S. has been trending downward since its high-water mark in the '70s. According to Gallup, less than half of Americans have expressed trust in the media since 2007.


Gallup attributes the sharp drop in trust to the presidential election. Republicans in particular have felt disaffected with the media this election cycle. In 2016, Gallup found 51 percent of Democrats and 30 percent of Independents said they trust the media; only 14 percent of Republicans said they do, too. GOP candidate Donald Trump's contentious relationship with the media probably isn't helping matters. "Look, the media, you know my opinion of the media. It's very low," Trump said during a speech about his charitable donations. Trump's accused the media of publishing unfair personal attacks on him and focusing more on his sound bites than his proposals.


But criticism of the media isn't reserved for the right. Plenty of Democrats have criticized media coverage of the general election, accusing them of creating a false equivalence between Trump and Clinton. During a rally for Clinton in Philadelphia, President Obama said: "You don't grade the presidency on a curve. ... We can't afford to act as if there's some equivalence here." Gallup also blames the decline in media trust on the rise of social media and decaying editorial standards.

A President Trump would continue the high-ratings bonanza reaped from the transformation of the "establishment media" into reality TV.

Voila! A CNN poll of Ohio cuts under-50 voting turnout by half in order to boost Trump -- who must win Ohio.
