Trump farts, and MSNBC and CNN are there to cover it.

I can't watch CNN or MSNBC any more. I turned them on tonight to watch the election results come in. It was absolutely sickening.

I switched back and forth between them for about and hour and a half and all they talked about was Trump. What does this mean for Trump? What is Trump going to do now? What if Trump loses Kentucky. There was barely, if any mention of Hillary or Bernie. For an hour and half I watched as the news anchors kept checking in with their news reporters that were at the Trump rally waiting for him to come out.

There is something seriously wrong with this type of obsessive compulsive news coverage. These networks seem to have forgotten that there are millions of Democrats voting today as well. There should be a Democratic boycott
of these shitty news channels for their shitty coverage of this election so far.

By doing this they might get a temporary boost in ratings, but ultimately all this is doing is driving away the core of their viewership.

news channel I will watch anymore. But they are giving much more coverage to Trump than what is going on with the Democrats. What is going on in the media is not healthy at all, and at the end of day is promoting Trump. Not good. Not good at all.
