    Besides Farenthold And Newsweek, Where Is The Rest Of The Media

    Let's just recap the last two day's revelations about Donald Trump. He apparently violated the embargo against Cuba; his foundation does not have the requisite licenses to solicit donations of $25,000 or more; a 2001 fraud investigation by the toothless SEC found that Trump had mislead investors in a news release that made it seem as though Trump Hotels had met earnings expectations when it clearly had not. And all that is in just two the last two days.

    David Farenthold at the Washington Post has been incredibly relentless with his reporting of the self-dealing and violations at the Trump Foundation. And Newsweek has had done some good reporting, such as the Cuba story. All this stuff was out there waiting to be uncovered by any diligent reporter. But where has the rest of the media been. The pathetic New York Times has, I think, spent more print on uncovering nothing untoward about the Clinton Foundation than it has on any of the Trump Foundations scandals. As Trump would say - SAD!
