NPR

Diane Rehm talking with news reporters. On the show they discussed how Trump has lied over 60% of the time and Hillary was in the low teens. That is why notable news outlets have endorsed Hillary even ones that have never endorsed a Democrat before. But the fake news out does real news sources on the internet. Like wikileaks and I can't believe it the FBI. Something needs to be done about the outright lying. I heard on a previous NPR show talking to political strategists that covered dark money channeled through shell companies that they can lie because it is legal to do it. The republicans have been doing this for serveral years with no consequences as they pretend to be the party of God. Something needs to be done. Also there is a serious lack of people who have no idea how to vett information that can not tell the difference from facts from a reputable source and some crap made up on a website. This I believe has come from the dumbing down of our education system. The people I work with are supposed to be college educated but there is no evidence of it in their discussions.
