I doubt you could find a more representative story to exemplify the current state of American journalism than this one.

Summary Version:  A 62-year-old guy in New Jersey was minding his own business – walking down the street, wearing a Donald Trump T-Shirt….

He was attacked by a motorist who stopped his car, got out, and beat the 62-year-old Trump supporter with a crowbar.

The New Jersey news article was written  by a reporter named Jessica Mazolla.  Read The Article HERE.   Please notice The headline reads:

“Man’s Trump T-shirt sparked crowbar attack, cops say”…

So the Trump T-Shirt caused the guy to get beaten with a crowbar…. You getting this?

It’s the “her skirt was too short” argument customarily heard from rape apologists.  But, oh, wait, it gets better.  The reporter, Jessica Mazzola, gets called out on the ridiculously biased presentation by a few readers in the NJ.COM comment section.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Seth Rich was a DNC staffer found shot to death in Washington DC on July 8th 2016.  The murder was widely reported as a robbery/homicide.  However, the killer(s) took nothing from the victim.

Rich’s watch, phone and wallet were all untouched.

The circumstances led many people to contemplate if Rich was “a source” connected to a larger story. This speculation only increased when WikiLeaks offered a $20,000 reward for any information on the murder.  WikiLeaks released emails from a DNC hack a little over two weeks ago.

Now this – via GatewayPundit.  WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange seems to strongly suggest Seth Rich was connected to the WikiLeaks DNC data leak, possibly the source, and murdered as a consequence:

Candidate Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Wilmington North Carolina today at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.  Approximately 10,000 showed up to cheer their candidate with many unable to get into the UNC Seahawks venue:

Keeping up with his ‘man of the people image‘ Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has purchased this third house, a $600,000 lakefront vacation chalet in Champlain Islands.

Part of the traditional campaign negotiations between various camps is the willingness of the endorsed candidate to absorb the campaign debt of the endorser.  The tighter the race, the more value is assigned to it.  Subsequently, it shouldn’t necessarily come as a surprise to see Sanders financially benefiting from his endorsement of Hillary Clinton.   How else does a Senator afford three homes on a congressional salary.

Let's not kid ourselves. We have today a campaign finance system that amounts to legalized bribery.
