We often focus on personalities while we overlook the other factors in our society that contribute to either the betterment or detriment of our society. Cable news and media sensationalizing Donald Trump's racist and xenophobic comments without challenge corrodes our culture in subtle but powerful ways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647562459433740241.post-9881534428570051092016-10-06T20:09:20.767-04:002016-10-06T20:09:20.767-04:00The point that Donald Trump's unethical and si...The point that Donald Trump's unethical and sinful behavior makes him unfit for duty as a leader in our democracy is well taken, and even further, the point about the damage to our democracy when this lie has been repeated endlessly by the cable news media and talk show pundits is even more important. UU values and principles have much to offer our beleagured nation when it is subjected to this kind of abuse. It is time for people to protest not only Trump's lies but the news media and pundits who sensationally repeat them to attract audiences in a titillating way. Sexual images are often called pornographic but this kind of false witness and the profits gained by it are so much more damaging that we seem to take it in our stride and fail to object. It's time for good people to speak up and hold Trump and the media accountable.Allan Nesbitnoreply@blogger.com
