I completely agree with Michael Goodwin's article on the decline of Journalism. I certainly do agree that journalists should investigate a story and then tell the story and shouldn't lean right or left or be biased. The story should be even-handed, as it's up to the reader to decide which way they prefer to lean or which candidate they like and don't like. 
However, a caveat; it is impossible to be impartial regarding Donald Trump. When one investigates him and finds time after time he's lied or another of his businesses have gone bankrupt or he's displayed his disdain for veterans who were captured or disabled people or women who have an opinion or Black people or Mexican people, how else can you tell the story? It's not that the journalists are leaning left or righ. It's not that the New York Times is a Hillary Clinton shill. It's simply that Donald Trump is such a bad person, such a liar, such a cheater and such a manipulator that the story inevitably comes out anti-trump, but let's not blame the journalists or the Times for that; shouldn't we blame Trump for that, because this writer can see no other way to tell a trump story that actually comes out in his favor.

Fired for making women get down on their knees to get a promotion. Top aid to Richard Nixon's campaign, you know, the campaign that broke into their opponent's campaign headquarters to steal an election, and got caught! (Pesky journalists, "lowest forms of life"). And now, advisor and top aid to the trump campaign. Welcome aboard Mr. Ailes!
Seriously, WTF is wrong with donald trump? Ailes should NEVER be hired, again! So, is trump planning a break in of DNC HEADQUARTERS? Does he hate women THAT much?
And on another note...how exactly would trump "extremely vet" Omar Mateen, the Orlando shooter, who executed the largest single mass shooting in American history? Would he walk down the street, and Waterboard his neighbor? Mateen is a fellow New Yorker. And Tashfeen Malik, San Bernardino shooter, again, born in the USA. Seung-Hui Cho, perpetrator of the second largest mass shooting in American history, at Virginia Tech, was from South Korea, NOT North Korea, South Korea. I could go on. Donald Trump's policies make no sense. And now he puts an alleged sexual abuser and advisor to the only president in American history, ever, to abdicate the presidency to avoid impeachment, on his payroll. Are the Clintons paying trump?, because this just makes no sense...

I love watching this guy unravel in public. Again, let me reiterate, I have never supported HRC, however, she won the Democratic primary, and trump, the Republican one, so I will, unwillingly, vote for the Secretary, but this, to me, isn't about party lines, it isn't even about the election, at all. This, to me, is about the world seeing what I have seen my entire life. 
Narcissistic sociopaths talk a good game, but they are weak, unintelligent, scared, dishonest, and crooked. On the inside, they are empty. They cheat on their partners out of a need for excitement, which fills a void. They lie to hide the truth about their inadequacies. They believe everyone is too stupid to recognize their lies for what they are and they even tend to believe their own lies. They do not view sex as passion and genuine affection for one another; sex is simply another void filler, connectionless, pornographical. They are incapable of caring for others. They hide behind a mask, and their greatest fear is exposure. 
Donald Trump is by no means qualified to lead a government, and he is too self-superior to learn how to. The election will not be rigged, no one will vote five times, the folks within the RNC, that he treats with great disdain, will not, out of spite, put Hillary in the Oval. For Donald Trump, himself, will win her the election, because he suffers from the greatest antisocial personality disorder I have ever seen. And for the way he has treated just about everyone unfortunate enough to have crossed his path, his lack of knowledge, affect, empathy, honesty, morals, and all the things that make the rest of us human and social, will be exposed, day by day, and as the former victim of these alien life forms, well let's just say I've purchased a plethora of Jiffy Pop stock.

A Letter to Senator Marco Rubio

Dear Senator Rubio,
Please carry inside of you for nine months, a sick baby, one who is failing to thrive in the womb. And while you're at your OBGYN, lying on the table, and you see the look of despair on her face, just be strong. And when she tells you that your baby, the one you've been falling in love with for months, has microcephaly, and will, in fact, never thrive, you be strong. And when you're in labor for eighteen hours, sweating, panting, hurting, crying, and knowing that you're about to give birth to that baby that you grew inside you, that baby whose brain will never fully function properly, you be strong. And when your doctor puts that newborn baby in your hands and you hold for the first time, understanding that her life expectancy is limited, she will never know you, she will suffer seizures, have severe retinal disfunction, and is highly likely to die in your arms after choking to death. You be strong. Be strong as they sew up your cervix. Be strong when your breasts leak milk your baby is incapable if suckling. Be strong on your drive home from the hospital. Be strong when your family comes to see your baby and doesn't know how to comfort you. Be strong at the funeral, Senator, and when they're driving a tiny casket holding your child to the cemetery, and when they lower her into the ground. Be strong when you're emptying out her beautiful bedroom, the one your spouse surprised you with when you came home from your baby shower at your best friend's house. Be strong when you're discarding her tiny bed, her stuffed animals, her clothes, her half empty box of diapers. And Senator, you be strong when your spouse asks you to forgo the birth control because he wants to try for another baby, and you're too terrified to ever get pregnant, again.
Oh, yeah, you're a male. Never mind. You don't have to be that strong.

In response to Senator Rubio's statements regarding abortions and Zika:

Rubio: No abortions for Zika-infected women
By MARC CAPUTO
08/06/16 03:54 PM EDT

Sen. Marco Rubio said Saturday that he doesn’t believe a pregnant woman infected with the Zika virus should have the right to an abortion — even if she had reason to believe the child would be born with severe microcephaly.

"I understand a lot of people disagree with my view – but I believe that all human life is worthy of protection of our laws. And when you present it in the context of Zika or any prenatal condition, it’s a difficult question and a hard one," Rubio told POLITICO
