Circus comes to U.S.

Re “Trump riding GOP fury,” Sept. 10

Let’s face it: The endless coverage of the so-called presidential race, including Donald Trump’s candidacy, is fueled by a tabloid media culture. Print media are simply piggy-backing on the corporate-sponsored circus train led by cable news and the evening news broadcasts.

This carnival atmosphere is taking place 14 months from the election, fully one year more than the Canadians need to elect their leader. All this nonsense has nothing to do with real issues; it is all about squeezing as much advertising money as humanly possible out of our national election.

Americans should be ashamed of the level to which our former democracy has sunk.
