I Refuse To Watch The News Today

All this Reagan garbage makes me sick.

Ronald Reagan was a horrible president, a racist, and responsible for a large portion of the problems America faces today.

To watch the "talking heads" ignore his REAL RECORD makes me ill.

RIP Nancy.

I keep the news on in the background while I work.

I do not care to hear about Reagan. Sorry for the families loss, but there is no need to smother us for another day about Ronald.

I want to hear about Maine and Puerto Rico.
