Considering that they donate vastly greater sums of money to Clinton's campaign than to Trump's, America’s billionaires evidently tend to prefer Clinton.

The huge sums donated must surely afford them substantial influence in American politics.  This is disturbing.  Equally disturbing is the fact that America's news media companies are owned by just 15 billionaires.  Most likely, they too favor Hillary Clinton, for the same reasons that other billionaires favor her.

Furthermore, Clinton has received 96 percent of all the money donated by journalists to the two leading candidates.  Thus, journalists also tend to favor Clinton.  Hence, it's no surprise that numerous examples of news media bias favoring Clinton have been observed.

One striking example is an Associated Press article distributed widely soon after the final presidential debate.  The first sentence reads: "Threatening to upend a basic pillar of American democracy, Donald Trump refused to say Wednesday night that he would accept the results of next month’s election if he loses to Hillary Clinton.”

Now compare that with what Trump actually said: "What I'm saying is, I'll tell you at the time. I'll keep you in suspense, okay?"

Clearly, Trump did not threaten anything.  And he certainly did not threaten to "upend a basic pillar of American democracy."  This was an editorial fabrication, invented by the Associated Press reporters.

Given that Democrat Al Gore challenged the 2000 election result without undermining American democracy, the Associated Press reporters seem disingenuous in criticizing Trump.  Their sensationalist, alarmist language seems calculated to frighten American voters and falsely portray Trump as a danger to democracy.  They have thereby raised a false alarm and have misled all Americans.

Generally, the mainstream news media have focused their reporting on the sexual misconduct accusations against Trump.  Of course, sex scandals tend to attract large audiences.  But that does not adequately explain the news media's extreme neglect of WikiLeaks' revelations about Clinton.  A more convincing explanation is that the news media have a strong pro-Clinton bias.  Another factor may be the WikiLeaks evidence revealing how some news media outlets have unethically colluded with the Clinton campaign.  Perhaps this has further motivated the news media to distract attention from WikiLeaks' revelations generally, to avoid further embarrassment in case even more accounts of their own collusion emerge.

Thus, serving their own shortsighted self-interest, the mainstream news media have abandoned the neutrality and integrity that is crucial for their role in society.  In doing so, they themselves have upended a key pillar of our democracy.  While their billionaire owners may feel "stronger together" in an alliance with Clinton, this is a betrayal of the American public.

Actually, the rigging of the Democratic primaries, the violent disruption of Trump rallies, and the discussions of voter fraud techniques documented in the Project Veritas Action videos are evidence that the Clinton campaign itself is a threat to American democracy.  Additionally, if the FBI's decision not to prosecute Clinton was approved by President Obama, then he too has undermined American democracy.  He has enabled Clinton to remain in the presidential race, when she apparently should be in prison.

In contrast, by refusing to accept the election results in advance, Donald Trump is demonstrating the vigilance all Americans require to preserve their freedom.

The mainstream news media and their ultra-wealthy owners don't want Americans to understand the single most important issue in this presidential race: Trump can be rude at times, as we know.  But that is a minor concern compared to Clinton's corruption.

So here are some questions for all voters to consider.  Do you prefer rudeness or corruption?  Do you prefer a man who speaks frankly or a woman who lies?  Do you prefer a man constantly scrutinized by suspicious journalists or a woman shielded and excused by her powerful media backers?  Do you prefer a man who passionately believes in America's greatness or a woman who has bungled several foreign wars and who refuses to protect America's borders?  Do you prefer a man who wants to clean up Washington or a woman whose corruption may transform the nation into a banana republic?

Which will you choose on election day?
