Did Politico Shed Light on the Media’s Anti-Trump Conspiracy?

Politico, in a July 22 posting, noted that media outlets generally used the same word to describe Donald J. Trump’s acceptance speech: “dark.” LPR is not aware of any leaked emails pointing to a media agreement how to attack Trump’s speech? Was the signal by means of a flowerpot in a window?

Politico Sheds Light on the Zealousness of Trump-haters

A Politico story, July 15, pointed to a totalitarian tone in the campaign to get Clinton elected president. Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, the New York City rabbi who converted Donald J. Trump’s daughter Ivanka to Judaism, was invited by Ivanka to deliver the convocation at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Rabbi Lookstein is principal of the Ramaz School, a yeshiva in Manhattan. Reportedly, some six hundred Ramaz alumni signed a letter protesting Rabbi Lookstein’s appearance at the convention. Rabbi Lookstein decided against going to Cleveland.
