The presidential election is approaching fast.

Readers should know a couple of things the mainstream media won’t report about our current commander in chief and his tricks to cover up his “failureship” reported to be leadership.

Scores of known radical Islamists have made hundreds of trips to the White House meeting with top administration officials.

This information was reported from visitor logs to the White House. Many of these visitors belong to groups serving as fronts for the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, among others.

Similar to the Soviet Union’s propaganda program we were taught to fear in the 1960s and 1970s, today’s national print journalists have quietly made a deal with what used to be our government that for access and interviews to top leaders and advisers they have agreed to allow the White House to rewrite their stories before publication.

So, we have reporters that interview administration officials, that have the quotes on tape, but they can’t report it unless the White House press office approves the quote, edits it or gives them a new one.
