Crazy brings the Drama. Tension. Conflict. Heroes. Villains.

According to MSM, what's sexy about competent polticians making life better?

The eyeballs he gets might be double the votes he gets. The coverage will go away when that changes.

Trump's every burp and fart is breaking news..why? because he's gold for the networks bottom line...every time that cretin insulted a reporter the network made money..

today, after a Republican midterm kick in the ass reality check, the MSM is non-stop will he run/not run...there's a reason why GenZ/millenials have turned off cable..boring hosts, the same "guests" going from show to show, offering the same boring take on Trump's outrage of the minute...

Honest question. I genuinely don’t understand why people do this to themselves.

It WILL be covered because it IS news, even if we don’t like it. It is news. It will be covered.
