Look, it's just not newsworthy, okay?

If you tuned into the Sunday morning shows, even on MSNBC, and expected them to cover the Russian agent who is working hand in glove with the R's to take down the President of the United States, you have to realize that it doesn't meet the journalistic standards of the corporate networks. Nor is it very interesting or exciting that a spy is trying to influence our democracy with help from one our 2 major parties. Yawn. Boring. Who would that appeal to?

I refuse to use the sarcasm thingee, by the way.

Now what is newsworthy and interesting? Well, according to Kristin Welker, it's the way cheato CRUSHED and DOMINATED last night. I mean, he got 60% as basically and incumbent and that is so impressive and interesting. If he gets 60% in the general election, he will.....um.....lose. Well, that part is not worth mentioning or newsworthy.

Okay, now do you understand why corporate news makes the decisions it does?
It's all about journalism, people. Geez.

Requires some explanation of the part of the talking heads, and some attention from the viewer.

cheato voters to us and what's going through what passes as his "mind" when he rambles. They could dumb this down if they wanted to. Russia= enemy, R's love the enemy, spy is telling lies about Biden, etc.

Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump

24/7 - It drives me nuts, and it drives me away from those programs (and news sites too). I look at Raw Story a lot, and I just checked, and at least 95% of all stories involved Trump. So fricking sick of it. The only news I want to hear about him is if the good lord decided to take him.

Is there such a thing? I'm kidding. You know, they can cover him, but put it in perspective and FACT CHECK please.
