Matt Lauer Fields Storm of Criticism Over Clinton-Trump Forum New York Times

I went to bed last night having really thrown in the towel on American media and their double standard for how they treat Hillary Clinton. The utter cake walk that Matt Laurer gave Donald Trump -- letting him deny statements easily provable about his support for the Iraq war left me speechless, chagrined and understanding just how strong the boys club is in America. Trump could say anything that he wanted, and Laurer just kissed his butt like a devoted lap dog. At least this morning, there is some solace in reading that there has been an eruption against Laurer -- although it should be noted that Laurer is also criticized by Republicans who believe he wasn't tough enough on Hillary. ~ Anne

Chelsea Clinton accuses Trump of 'sad, misogynistic, sexist rhetoric' Politico

"In her first public campaign event since the Democratic National Convention, Chelsea Clinton did not mince words when asked about the Republican nominee's verbal attacks on her mother.

In response to Trump's assertion that Hillary Clinton does not have a "presidential look," Chelsea Clinton said she hoped “that everyone can see that as the sad, misogynistic, sexist rhetoric that I hoped we had moved beyond in the 21st century, certainly in 2016.”

Trump camp tries to clarify his 'I love war' comment Politico

The 30-second ad out Tuesday, titled "I Love War," features Trump uttering the phrase, "I love war, in a certain way," at a rally last November, while featuring snippets of him remarking that he "knows more about ISIS than the generals do" and calling "nuclear, the power, the devastation ... very important to me."

"I love war, putting nuclear weapons on the table. The Clinton camp says that's irresponsible," ABC's George Stephanopoulos remarked to Kellyanne Conway at the start of their interview on "Good Morning America."

Conway responded that what is actually "irresponsible" is "taking little, cherry-picking little snippets of what he said and not giving the full context of the sentence let alone the speech."

Soledad O'Brien calls out CNN for 'normalizing' white supremacy with Trump reporting The Grio

“If you look at Hillary Clinton’s speech where she basically pointed out that what Donald Trump has done — actually quite well — has normalized white supremacy,” O’Brien -- who used to work at CNN -- told host Brian Stelter on Sunday. “I think she made a very good argument, almost like a lawyer. Here are ways in which he has actually worked to normalize conversations that many people find hateful.

“I’ve seen on-air, white supremacists being interviewed because they are Trump delegates,” O'Brien continued. “And they do a five-minute segment, the first minute or so talking about what they believe as white supremacists. So you have normalized that.

Dallas News Editorial Board: We Recommend Hillary Clinton for President Dallas Morning News

"There is only one serious candidate on the presidential ballot in November. We recommend Hillary Clinton.

We don't come to this decision easily. This newspaper has not recommended a Democrat for the nation's highest office since before World War II — if you're counting, that's more than 75 years and nearly 20 elections. The party's over-reliance on government and regulation to remedy the country's ills is at odds with our belief in private-sector ingenuity and innovation. Our values are more about individual liberty, free markets and a strong national defense.

We've been critical of Clinton's handling of certain issues in the past. But unlike Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton has experience in actual governance, a record of service and a willingness to delve into real policy."
