But with the advent of Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace at MSNBC, and their abandonment of “prison porn,” I have preferred MSNBC for quite a few years.

This turn of events at CNN is just — sad.

Be able to ramble.

Beyond the surface.... Can look to event as a good thing. Energizes us and reminds people how crazy he is.

Surprised Stewart didn't think deeper.

When the orange menace attacked CNN as a media enemy of the people I always would defend CNN.

That’s how CNN sponsors repay unbiased viewers? Surviving to broadcast propaganda now?

CNN once held the dominant market position for 24/7 news, people would turn to CNN when important world/national events occurred.

Why they would surrender that coveted market position and category they created is a Trump-like business disaster.

Bye Felicia.
