Trump has beaten the news media to a pulp.

From day one, Trump has used and abused the news media. Every fucking day he calls it the fake news. Yet, when something is reported that benefits Trump it's no longer fake news. He uses it to attack people, to obstruct justice. The news media has not learned that Trump is playing them like a banjo.

The news media should have been calling for Trumps impeachment a long time ago. They should have gotten really mean whenever Trump attacked them because that is an attack on our democracy. Very rarely have I seen a reporter get really tough with Trump.

He uses fox news as his own personnel propaganda channel. It's fucking disgusting, a joke.

The news media and the American people better wake the fuck up before its to late. This November will answer many of my questions about the news media and the American people.

They don't think Trump really wants to destroy them. They believe they they are too powerful because they been around for so long.

Trump will take out the media if he can. He's not joking.

I don't watch the news on weekends, or the political talk shows. It's too much. I limit myself to Rachel (always), Ari Melber (usually), Deadline White House with Nicolle Wallace (usually) , and the first 15 minutes of Lawrence O'Donnell. Oh, and Morning Joe if I'm in the mood.

and watch if it possible at all, because it is a pure, unadulterated Trump/GOP haterade.

Usually try to watch LO on my phone in bed falling asleep.

Will watch RM if there is something special for the full breakdown.

Or words to that affect.

Everyone thinks it can't happen here, even as it's happening here.
