I am so sick of hearing about Kanye West.

Clearly the man has mental health issues. But because he also has money, his name never leaves the headlines. I wish he and TFG would JUST GO AWAY!

1. Same here. Both he and trump have money and mental issues...

including being attention whores, which the money helps them get and feeds their tremendous egos/fragile mental states and the attention/publicity often generates more money from the sycophancy of followers/customers...a self-fueling circle.

Rinse and repeat.

2. The public loves men who are outrageous. Women not so much

[Kaleva]

3. People like to talk about him here at DU

[LetMyPeopleVote]

4. I am not sure why anyone pays attention to this idiot

[Caliman73]

7. Celebrity and Controversy sell airtime and ad space.

West provides both, so while I agree with your general idea that he is an idiot and his opinions are ill informed and should likely not be listened to; the problem is that he brings in revenue so his stupidity will continue to be amplified unless that changes.

5. I am, TOO! - if only I had stopped myself from posting a thread about BOTH of them 5 minutes before!

Luckily, I don't read mine!1

6. This thread should help.

[Caliman73]

8. Threads can be for venting and discussion.

I highly doubt that a thread on DU is amplifying West in the larger picture.

9. Yeah I know, they're both disgusting.

[Mossfern]

10. Hmmm......

Kanye West....is that part of a motel chain?

[Jilly_in_VA]

11. I think if the media quit paying attention to him

he might get fed up and either go get some help for himself or, um, do something stupid to himself. Either way I would be relieved.

[eppur_se_muova]

12. Professional egotists, both of them. nt

[Mosby]

13. Mental health issues didn't make him a Jew hater.

[Mosby]

14. It's because he's a Jew hater.

The media isn't going to stop talking about him.

15. How to never see another story about Kanye West - EVER!

Open the TAB on top of the DU page, next to your name - after " My Profile" - it's "My Account." Click on it.

You see a page with 6 tabs ... like this:



1. Click on "Trash Can"

2. In the box type "Kanye" and click "Trash it"

You'll never get another story or post about Kanye West (or anyone else named Kanye).

18. But the. How can I complain?

[milestogo]

19. Thank you.

[brooklynite]

16. Simple question: how much media do you consume each day?

I haven’t heard endless stories about Kanye West, but then I don’t watch endless hours of cable news.and pages of news blogs.

[milestogo]

17. Not much.

But the headlines are in LBN and in common news sources. If it were just in "entertainment" it would be easy to ignore.
