Not to get all boring but I listened at length to the BBC today in the car and they did multiple reports on Biden's State Department speech. On U.S. Yemen policy. On what he said about Russia. On Myanmar.

And here? Wall to wall Marjorie Taylor Greene.

1. Yeah we watch BBC US news cuz..... better

[sarcasmo]

2. Squirrel!!!!!!

The U.S. media is always chasing the squirrel.

[OhNo-Really]

3. I'm done with MSNBC & most of CNN.

Cooper spent 50 of 60 minutes talking about fn Republicans.

Instead of helping Team Biden clean up the fn mess the GOP once again leave for Dems to clean up with no help

I watch Becky Anderson AM CNN & Amanpour CNN

France24 & Democracy Now on LinkTv

Commercial news stations serve the wrong fn masters.

I got so angry this week I cancelled all my On Demand shows. Useless POSs

4. If they weren't discussing Greene, folks would say the media is giving her a pass.

5. Corporate news is not "the news".

It is the celebrity, the flash in the pan, and any diversion from the thought provoking or uncomfortable.

Thank goodness for “Democracy Now” and it’s overseas kindred-spirits.
