CNN, what the hell is going on?

I put on CNN, at 9am central time.

It's 15 minutes now, and the "big story?"

Trump!

Nothing but!

And all they are doing is having talking heads on, just repeating the same bullshit over and over.

Not one word yet, about Oregon.

If this was a shooting involving anyone named Abdul or Mohammed, it would be plastered all over all the news networks.

BUT...

It's a bunch of white guys, "Christians," so it's pretty much ignored, to concentrate on Trump's latest tantrum.

when they did a hit piece on Sicko. I promised them I'd never watch another minute of their noise and to this day I still haven't turned them on.
Thats been a while.

I used to like Jack Cafferty and he'd ask for input on his stories and I had my answers read several times on air. Always made me smile when that happened and I'd post about it like it was some kind of a big deal but anyways fuck cnn

is Jack Cafferty still around I wonder?

Donald is a "Master Manipulator." He is so outlandish that he has become "A Media Child." Most people depend on their TV for entertainment and decision making. Up to this election; everything was pretty orderly. Enter: "The Donald." Most people don't vote for candidates who offer solutions. They vote based upon Candidate Exposure. The "Dog" who they see on their screens most often usually gets their vote. It's a sorry state, but frankly; it's "Reality."

They think that if they say his name enough times he'll call in for an impromptu interview thus giving him more free ad space.
