— Trump detours from focus of Pennsylvania rally to slam media and call for drug dealer executions – Seung Min Kim and Jenna Johnson (DIERSEN: I should write a book about those politicians, their operatives, and their dupes who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails the most. They blame me and my emails for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. They glorify and praise Rich Miller and the rest of the Democrat news media.)

DAILY HERALD
— Social media offers dark spaces for political campaigning – AP
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20180311/news/303119996/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The main events in a political campaign used to happen in the open: a debate, the release of a major TV ad or a public event where candidates tried to earn a spot on the evening news or the next day’s front page. That was before the explosion of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube as political platforms. Now some of a campaign’s most pivotal efforts happen in the often-murky world of social media, where ads can be targeted to ever-narrower slices of the electorate and run continuously with no disclosure of who is paying for them. Reporters cannot easily discern what voters are seeing, and hoaxes and forgeries spread instantaneously.)
— President Donald Trump’s campaign to discredit the news media has spread to officials at all levels of government, who are echoing his use of the term “fake news” as a weapon against unflattering stories. – AP (DIERSEN: According to my critics/opponents, all news is fake, except for the news that they put out or bless.)

http://chicago.gopride.com/news/article.cfm/articleid/92211604/candidate-calls-for-harold-to-drop-out-of-ag-race-over-alleged-antigay-adoption-remarks
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a statement, Harold campaign spokesman Jason Heffley said, “It is troubling that NBC Chicago chose to run with a political hit piece based on anonymous sources that occurred almost twenty years ago. “Two decades ago when Erika was 20 years old, she did not support same sex adoption. It was a different era when many from both political parties did not support it. Erika, like many others, has changed her position on the issue over the last twenty years. She acknowledges that position was wrong and now strongly supports same sex adoption and foster placement. “She does not recall the specific exchange alleged by anonymous sources. If some form of that exchange did occur, it was wrong and it is in no way reflective of how Erika feels or has lived her life. She has spent her career working to protect the interests of the underserved and advocating for those who have been bullied and abused.”)
