Turned off MSNBC the very second that Donnie Shit for Brains Shitshow Campaign Rally Disguised as a Press Briefing began.
Turned to CNN, and they were glued to his shitshow as well.
Thankfully, I have Game 7 from the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Championship on tape.
This is the same shit the media did in 2016. Free advertising for Donnie Dipshit.
Look, in most cases, what Presidents have to say is important and worth covering.
The media has spent the better part of 4 years telling us how Asspickle is "not a traditional president".
That standard should also apply to how they cover him.
Traditional Presidents are "worth" hearing from. This fuckstick isn't worth hearing.
What's next? Hours of film of an empty podium with "Breaking News - Dipshit Scheduled to Fart Soon"? In the rolling cryon

(60,014 posts)As I've said countless times, turning it all off 10 years ago was a defining moment in my and my wife's sanity and happiness.
The MSM is only for those who enjoy the pain of banging their heads constantly against the wall. There is a whole lot of life going on out there once the TeeVee and radio are turned off.

(1,990 posts)And now, they are legitimizing the notion of postponing the election by lending time to something the POTUS has no power to do. Nobody should even be talking about it, unless its in reference to the impeachment hearings that we will be holding. By September, the MSM will be pushing the concept of postponing the elections so "everyone can vote safely and securely". Mark.My.Word. The MSM is corporate and it feels Trump is better for their bottom line. Trump voters are not who we are up against; its the damn corporate media that wants low corporate taxes we are fighting here.

We don't support "the media" with our dollars or eyeballs.
Traditional television is obsolete. Our adult children and their cousins have abandoned it. Like us they don't have cable, satellite, or broadcast television. They 'cast everything they watch on television from their phones or laptops.
We pay $8.99 a month for Netflix over an inexpensive DSL internet connection.
The money we might have spent on cable probably goes to newspaper subscriptions. Our local paper is delivered to our driveway, and our subscriptions to national and international newspapers are electronic.
I think television is the worst possible medium for news and opinion.
Traditional television made Trump. It needs to die.
