Not that anything will be done about it if so since Republicans hold the power ATM and are such absolute hypocrites.

This is the level of insanity. The President attacked department stores in the middle of a supposed intelligence briefing a week ago, but there have been so many crazy things during that week and every other week that it's just lost in the shuffle.

The bigger problem is enforcement when the GOP hypocrites hold the majority and they seem to think it's only a problem when it's a Democrat, like say Hillary, doing it.

The media it just like every other business. They report things that they know will boost ratings. They also the slant news to cater to the opinions of their largest audience to keep people watching. Which doesn't make it "fake news" it just makes it inaccurate. Which is just as dangerous really.
