and the sad truth is they have been doing this since 2000 where they ridiculed Gore with adjectives such as he is boring and other negative insinuations, with Kerry they were constantly blasting the swift boat ads as a "news story" 24/7, which effectively gave right wing scum free airtime, with Hillary their constant sexist remarks that "she is shrill and angry all the time",etc. along with their entire misrepresentations and lie about the emails, by falsely saying that the email investigation was reopened, which was a lie, and then parading every right wing pundit across their outlets 24/7 perpetuating that lie 11 days before the general election.
