Really sick how the only thing the cables can talk about is Trump. Meanwhile earthquakes, hurricane

and disaster strike many families whose thoughts have to be about more than what the Donald is saying.
Oh, and as soon as the disaster strikes the environment of the haters they will be the first to call on the government that they despise to bail them out and they won't care how much is spent to do so.

to Detroit? That and nasty Hillary's email scandal.

While they ignore the candidate who had to pay a fine for a donation to a certain Florida AG just before her office reviewed whether to join a lawsuit against their "University".

MSNBC is covering the Hurricane fairly well.

...Trump is bad for the country, but good for CNN which he owns. So, what does he do? He shows Trump 24/7. Moonves is already a multimillionaire but apparently getting even richer is more important to him than doing what's best for the country.

I've stopped watching all of cable news because basically they are all the same...only interested in ratings. I think they should all be boycotted. They can decide whether they are about news or entertainment/profit only.

They are trying to make Hillary and Trump even just so they can have an exciting election...good ratings. We cannot allow ourselves to be manipulated and brainwashed by them!

Seems pretty simple.

Four years ago, I pulled the dish down and hooked up an antenna. I rarely hear about Trump on TV. I get bombarded with posts about him here, though.

It is absolutely criminal what is going on with the media. We never should have deregulated it.
