 So true. As an average American voter, I really had a hard time knowing
 what or who to believe during the last presidential election. Not that
 I ever _really_ believe what the media says, it's just this: _who_
 is telling the truth and _how _do you find out if it is the truth?

 Most of us Americans only heard that he was _accused_ of philandering, but
 we  never were aware of any proof.

 Exactly. 
Snip...

 What is your source for this remark? Color me "cynical" if you wish,
 but this is too juicy to possibly be true!
