So I hear on my tv that Democrats are fighting among themselves. I didn't know.

even when they really have nothing to say, especially now that Trump is not the major story 24/7. Conflict sells, so when they don't see any, they fabricate it.

Apparently "disarray" wasn't sexy enough. It certainly isn't motivating me to turn on my television.

If they repeat a narrative 24/7, 7 days a week, 12 mo a year, ....
People will believe it & then THEY'LL repeat it..

Conflict is the selling point & profit is the force that drives it all.

Thanks

is far too ratings driven and being there is so much competition, they are always looking for controversy and the appearance of conflict. Anything to keep people from changing the channel. Shoot, they still use the "Breaking News" banner for any and every story. People don't even notice it anymore. When there really IS a breaking news story, they have to add dramatic music and flashier graphics.

Does anybody even care? I would rather be a bunch of squabbling Democrats arguing about how to make our lives better than a bunch of Republicans arguing over how to make our lives worse.

It has been three months now without any cable news for me. They have all failed Americas winners, us. They don't deserve my attention anymore. None of them.

Rather amazing how the world looks when you stop allowing a corporation tell you what to think.

Tks.
