The media are so pissed

About the Brexit.

Forget whether or not you approve or disapprove. That's almost a sideshow.

Watch how pissed off these people are.

Then explain to yourself "these people supposedly care about us." This lot do not like democracy

The masks are flying off, and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Has anyone else been watching this asshole on CNN flipping out?

L.O.L.

He's so mad!

But I recently watched a discussion on another matter on CNN with that Carol person with the glasses. It was a discussion of the results of a poll on the two major candidates. Well, it's no secret that this is a contest between what a lot of people think are the two worst human beings on the face of the planet. This is NO SECRET! It's been discussed rather frequently.

But Carol whatever-her-name-is acted like this was all new to her!

I'll be charitable. Maybe their jobs are so demanding they don't have time to read.

She's trying to remain vaguely sane while the males around her melt down.

God bless her. She's trying.

That's a weird booking decision but I mostly ignore cable news.

believed the racist ramblings and scapegoating of the EU by the people who actually screwed them through austerity, and just caused the death of the United Kingdom and the likely fracturing of Europe's best success at unity and peace in its very long history.

But yeah, whatever, you just go right ahead and gloat about how the media is so horrible. It's exactly what Trump and Farage thrive on.

it's the EU that demands austerity. Not UKIP.

Farage has also praised Greece for rerfusing the EU's austerity measures.

Even though the result is deplorable, that kind of disregard for democracy is scary to see openly.
