Yesterday the Daily Caller<\/a> posted an article with the headline, “Media Outraged After Trump Tricks Them To Cover Endorsements From Military Heroes.” The story explains that the media went to the Trump International Hotel expecting Donald Trump to take questions about whether he still questions President Obama\u2019s birthplace. The media is trying very hard to make this an issue in the Presidential campaign (to illustrate that Donald Trump is not a good candidate?). When they got to the press conference, they were treated to a barrage of military endorsements for Trump. It wasn’t what they wanted or expected.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

At the very end of the campaign event, Trump finally addressed the topic the media was there to hear. \u201cHillary Clinton and her campaign of 2008 started the birther controversy. I finished it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Barack Obama<\/a> was born in the United States<\/a>,\u201d Trump said. \u201cPeriod. Now we all want to get back to making America strong again.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many reporters, some standing on chairs, began shouting questions over the applause from the guests in attendance. But Trump, having accomplished what he wanted, took none.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the media has tried very hard to hang the birther controversy on Donald Trump. Unfortunately, the age of google searches has made that impossible.<\/p>\n

Yesterday Breitbart <\/a>reported the following:<\/p>\n

The mainstream media, from Bloomberg News to MSNBC to Politico<\/a> to the Washington Post<\/em> and more, have all confirmed: Hillary Clinton\u2019s failed 2008 campaign for president did substantially further the birther movement<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…It\u2019s not just Hannity, who\u2019s opposed to Clinton\u2019s election and is a supporter of GOP presidential nominee Donald J. Trump<\/a>, who has confirmed that Clinton\u2019s 2008 campaign and its allies pushed this.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, Politico, in 2011, published a piece from two of its top reporters at the time\u2014Ben Smith and Byron Tau, who have gone on respectively to BuzzFeed<\/a> and the Wall Street Journal<\/em>\u2014specifically detailing how the Clinton campaign<\/a> was behind birther rumors spreading.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The birther thing is something the media tried to use to attack Donald Trump. It is totally irrelevant at this point. The problem is that most of President Obama’s personal records remain sealed–even after almost eight years in office. That is unusual. That is actually why the birther controversy has continued–there are some genuine questions about some documents relating to President Obama. The mainstream media is getting desperate. They have lost any objectivity or credibility that they might have had. This election will probably mark the end of their influence on the majority of Americans.<\/p>\n

The article at Breitbart concludes:<\/p>\n

“With Clinton\u2019s 2008 campaign manager admitting on national television and on Twitter that they promoted the rumors surrounding now-President Obama\u2019s heritage, Mr. Trump has been fully vindicated,\u201d Miller (Trump campaign senior communications adviser Jason Miller) said. \u201cNot only was a Clinton campaign worker blamed and fired over the activity, we have now been informed that Secretary Clinton<\/a> was aware of what was going on, with Clinton\u2019s campaign manager even apologizing to Obama\u2019s campaign<\/a> manager. This still does not explain why Hillary Clinton failed to fire her chief strategist Mark Penn<\/a> on the spot over the memo he sent her advocating she portray Obama as \u2018fundamentally\u2019 foreign. Hillary Clinton didn\u2019t tell the truth about her emails and she didn\u2019t tell the truth about her campaign\u2019s role in pushing these rumors in 2008. This pattern is never going to change, and it\u2019s why nobody trusts Hillary Clinton.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

There will be people who will vote for Hillary Clinton regardless of how many lies she tells. That is their privilege. It is my hope, however, that Americans are tired of the lies that surround Hillary and her campaign and will make a different choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
