60 seconds...

that's how much time the local news station "devoted" to the ACA repeal story this morning. THIS after weeks of harping on the vote. Now, it's just nothing to see, nothing to say.

They have taken everything from Trump to be gospel thus far so when he didn't achieve his objective they didn't want to admit his failure.

I guess they had been prepared to do a big story on the repeal and had to scramble for footage when it didn't happen. I mean, Tom Price is Georgia grown. You think they'd have gotten a quote from him or something.
