What a relief there.

You would think all the media would consider that in light of how disgustingly disrespectful he is to so many reporters doing their jobs.

Just turn away and ignore this incompetent, petulant entertainer straining for attention to further his regime.

We all need to send complaints to MSNBC and get them to stop. I sent a complaint to the local news station I usually watch, probably along with many others because they are not showing the Trump propaganda show today. Yea, small victory.

Actually, I just checked and none of the three majors (ABC, CBS, NBC) is showing Trump—but MSNBC still is. That needs to stop.

I couldn't tell whether he'd been speaking for a while or was just introducing her, but they started the coverage with her, not with him lumbering in, etc.



Oops! I didn't realize I was nearly an hour behind! Still, as I was fast forwarding to catch up, it looks like the presser is mostly other people, not him.

and just show what is relevant. Instead they are providing Trump with his current version of a rally. If they want to show Trump then they should be reasonable for fact checking everything he says.

Cable news is about profit, not truth.
Except for Fox, which is about lying and propaganda to help Republicans, not just profit.


But no cable news outlets are good for the country.

Listen to podcasts instead. Much more issue focused

I’ve pretty much stopped watching the news, since so much of it is pure garbage. I have a couple of news outlets I check in with periodically and I usually watch Maddow & sometimes O’Donnell & Hayes. As the old saying goes, garbage in, garbage out.

The CNN reporter (can't think of his name) Impeached Trump have issues with was stating how Trump was changed and how he gets it.

CNN shouldn't ever show 45 on their station since he calls them fake news all the time.

Apr 2020

If I were the editor of a news organization, the coverage on Trump would be 1/200th of the time they spend on him now. The reason my coverage of him would be so low is because that is all the time he spends saying anything of value. The rest is just blather and BS. When i say of "value", I mean newsworthy, not necessarily valuable to the country.
