I'm So Sick of MSM Giving the Orange Monster a Platform Every Damned Second of the Day!

Get it through your heads, ignore the fat fucker! You can easily discuss his lies without playing a clip every time! And how many times do I need to see the 60 Minutes interview when I didn't want to see it the first time????

Here, maybe this will convince you:

because he kept playing clips. Granted Cooper was exposing the lies, but I literally cannot stand to hear or see the orange one.

If the Rump wants to make the news all about himself, the best thing we can do is ignore him.

access to Trump whom they gave billions if free Air Time in 2016. Do you think Andy Lack and Zucker are going to change anytime soon? Not going to happen.

Were there even other Republican candidates- except those we heard about because Trump called them insulting names?? Yuk!Yuk!

And any Democrats got much less airtime too since they talked about serious things, like the economy and health care, instead of boasting about grabbing women or how wealthy and wonderful they were. Whenever Trump opened his tiny pursed mouth, anyone else disappeared from the screen, he delivered ratings no matter which news organization it was. The more outrageous, the better!

I got so I changed the channel every time he came on, couldn't wait for the campaign to be over so I'd never have to hear or see him again!

Trump is good at one thing - taking over the media like a zombie virus, and subjugating them into spewing us propaganda unchallenged.

Why? Because these people are immoral scumbags. They don't care if they're destroying the country. It's all about money.

Like it or not, his toilet tweet ramblings are official communications from our head of state.

The time to ignore him was back when he was a racist clown act using the primary process to negotiate a better contract with NBC.

Because of the Saudi stuff, 60 Minutes interview, and the Elizabeth Warren DNA story. I always mute him and today/tonight I've been wearing out the mute button.

Then you miss half of what the anchor is saying because they shift back and forth between clips so often. The thing is, there are hardly any real "updates". Instead, you get the 60 Minutes interview and press meeting clips over and over.
