Trump 1; Media 0

Donald Trump held a press conference today to discuss his fund raiser for veterans' group held a few months back.  Trump detailed what was raised and what and to whom cash has been distributed.  Trump also got lambasted by the reporters for calling them out for the distorted coverage of the whole matter.  The general line from the reporters was to ask Trump if he should be subject to media scrutiny with regard to matters like the gifts to the vets.  Trump's response was to call them out for their one-sided attack on him.  The key line from Trump was to ask the media where are the stories on how much (or how little) Hillary and Bill Clinton have given to veterans' groups.  The truth is that Hillary and Bill have given nothing to vets.  Indeed, they have given essentially nothing to charity.  All their supposed donations have been to themselves; they gave "donations" to the Clinton Foundation and then, after taking a big tax deduction, used that cash to pay for their own expenses.

The truth is that the mainstream media gives precious little coverage to the Clintons' complete lack of charity.  There is also little coverage of the Clintons' turning a supposedly charitable organization (the Clinton Foundation) into a cover for raising cash to cover expenses and to pay their staff.  Here's all you really need to know.  In the last tax return that the Clintons made public, they say that they gave about $3,008,000 to charity.  That's three million to the Clinton Foundation and eight thousand to real charities.  Have you heard those figures previously?  Unless you read them here, I doubt it.  The media just doesn't even bother to cover this disgrace.

It was great to see Trump taking on a corrupt media.  It won't change the way that they act, but it will allow the truth to penetrate through to the American people.  That someone is out there with the truth is refreshing to say the least.
