If she manages to steel the election, she’ll instantly transform into a female Stalin.

Her enemies will feel the wrath of Hell.

You are correct sir. Hitler, Stalin and Mao, all wrapped up in one. Don't go within a thousand miles of Fort Marcy Park. You know what happens there.

We need common sense journalism reform. Just as the press currently supports background checks and licenses for gun owners, there's no reason why "press freedom" should be treated differently than gun rights.

Background checks before any press license is issued. Petitioner must display competence.
One must complete training to make sure the petitioner can remain impartial.
Licenses can only be issued to those completing prescribed training. Licenses are subject to revocation for bias and in cases of spousal abuse or other violent episodes.
There will be a limit to the number of press licenses available to any media company. There will be a 3 month waiting period before the issuance of a new license.

“My opponents are insane CONSPIRACY THEORISTS who will say anything...!”

—long drink of water—

“...and the American Alt-Right is controlled by a former KGB agent..!!!”

Hillary wins, we can kiss future elections goodbye.

Certainly.

Trump wins, we get the country back.

That is far from guaranteed. Getting our country back is our job, and it will be a huge load of work with no certainty of success. Trump's election may give us a fighting chance.

Cynical way to look at it. Read what he says. I’ve never liked him but he doesn’t sound like a liberal. Or he wouldn’t condemn liberals in the article, if you read the whole thing.

People change. I think he’s seen what America’s become.

I’m beginning to like this fella.

Sounds like lacks confidence in his yet-to-be-leaked documents.

Let’s not forget that the whole mess in the 2000 election in Florida was caused by Tom Brokaw calling the election in Florida early, long before the polls in the conservative western panhandle had closed. They were on central time, not Eastern time. Thousands of conservators did not bother to go to the polls at the end of the day. The entire country, and the Supreme Court, were dragged through an endless nightmare all because of one, incompetent journalist .

We need to force them to hire Conservatives. We need an "affirmative action program" for conservatives in media. We need to force them to confront people whom they disagree with politically, and who will then act as a "watchdog" on their abuse.

We need an elected board of governors to regulate the media to insure that one party does not get control of it so as to censor or artificially promote the narrative of one party.

One must complete training to make sure the petitioner can remain impartial.

I'd give up on that idea. The nature of ideology is such that people cannot help being partial. Just telling something from the perspective of their world view will result in a biased narrative.

The only way to counter this problem is to force the inclusion of people who have the opposite views, and who are biased in the opposite way.

Nobody can recognize their own biases, and therefore no one can guard against them.

The media would not be so careless (if it was careless) if they thought a Democrat's election hinged on the outcome. We need to FORCE the media to have conservatives running their news broadcasts.

I say give us 50 years of exclusive Conservative operation of the media, and then we can call it even.
