http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/haiti-factory-big-money-state-department-clintons-meet/story?id=42729714-this is the only MSM investigative article I can find today, that explains the history of Haiti, the poorest nation in this hemisphere, being used and robbed by the Clintons, Bill as president and later the UN man-in-charge of $14.3 Billion aid money after the 2010 earthquake, for “reconstruction.”-this article should IMO be followed up by audio and print versions of the 1990s president of the Haiti Senate, Bernard Sansaricq, who was for a few minutes on Fox News tv last evening and on AFR.net radio show hosted by Sandy Rios this morning. I replayed the 54 minute program on my PC at AFR’s Rios page for 10-13-16. Bernard is a Haitian who was raised and educated in the USA, went back and was elected when Aristide, drug lord, was installed and protected by Prez Bill Clinton from DEA evidence indictment. Apparently much of the Clinton fortune came from pay to play schemes in cheating on aid money to help the Haitian disasters.-(Media ignores this factual news to smear & embarrass the GOP/Trump in hopes Hillary will get GOP votes)
All “the media” has to do is play trump’s bigoted words that he spews at this rallies….maybe Trump should STFU if he doesn’t like hearing himself shown for the ignorant bigot he really is.
The best response I have to Ramirez’s cartoon is the letter that NY Times lawyer wrote in reply to Trump’s lawyer:

Dear. Mr. Kasowitz:
I write in response to your letter of October 12, 2016 to Dean Baquet concerning your client Donald Trump, the Republican Party nominee for President of the United States. You write concerning our article “Two Women Say Donald Trump Touched Them Inappropriately” and label the article as “libel per se.” You ask that we “remove it from [our] website, and issue a full and immediate retraction and apology.” We decline to do so.
The essence of a libel claim, of course, is the protection of one’s reputation. Mr. Trump has bragged about his non-consensual sexual touching of women. He has bragged about intruding on beauty contestants in their dressing rooms. He acquiesced to a radio host’s request to discuss Mr. Trump’s own daughter as a “piece of ass.” Multiple women not mentioned in our article have publicly come forward to report on Mr. Trump’s unwanted advances. Nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on the reputation that Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions, has already created for himself.
But there is a larger and much more important point here. The women quoted in our story spoke out on an issue of national importance — indeed, an issue that Mr. Trump himself discussed with the whole nation watching during Sunday night’s presidential debate. Our reporters diligently worked to confirm the women’s accounts. They provided readers with Mr. Trump’s response, including his forceful denial of the women’s reports. It would have been a disservice not just to our readers but to democracy itself to silence their voices. We did what the law allows: We published newsworthy information about a subject of deep public concern. If Mr. Trump disagrees, if he believes that American citizens had no right to hear what these women had to say and that the law of this country forces us and those who would dare to criticize him to stand silent or be punished, we welcome the opportunity to have a court set him straight.
“Jack”: Trump has repeatedly pointed out how much Hillary has had to SPEND to get coverage, as he brags about NOT spending himself! Now if the media has just been putting Trumpy out there to self-destruct? May have been worth it.

Basically. The media has no problems reporting on Trump’s chauvinistic past while ignoring the fact that HRC is married to an accused rapist.
But hey, its not like the issues are important here, just who groped who is what matters.
