when you could have used the same time to add a sentence to your OP with more information that would help people understand what you're talking about so that perhaps you might get a discussing going.

Maybe six people are watching CNN right now.

You may find posts like mine annoying, but I actually find post like yours and his more annoying. DU is a big online community and when people make posts like mine we understand that some people might have no clue on what we are talking about. We are also aware that a lot of people on here are political junkies and are watching the same shows at the same time and they will get what we are talking about. If you aren’t one of them just move on instead of making a passive aggressive response.

It's very easy to click the link and read whatever they posted. And I always do that before commenting anyway.

But posting random unclear comments about something people can't access without providing any information or context is just odd.

Being political junkies doesn't mean watching CNN all day long. In fact I would say the people who watch 24 hour cable news all day are not that informed .

We should combine Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas and rename the state Lost Hope. Or New Lost Hope.

But having put in the effort to try and pry some meaning out of the OP I got tired of posting to the thread to point it out.

... and that's my opinion of the post itself, as far as anything else, I'll just leave it at that for obvious reasons. People who know me are free to draw their own conclusions as to what I may (or may not) be thinking to myself.

It would help your OP not be so poorly received.
