3. Good idea to tell broadcast "journalism" to GET STUFFED

I'll be reupping my WaPo Kindle subscription tonight, it's due. I'll be subscribing to the online NYT as soon as they allow a non social media registration/payment method.

I'll support print media. Broadcast media lost me in 2004 and the intervening 12 years have only increased my disgust with them.

Yeah, it's convenient. If you like being lied to by gross omission by a bunch of blow dried hacks.

I turned off the pundits for good on election night and am really done this time. Staying sane is too important.

7. I have Prime, so it was peanuts

I got Prime because some kitchen stuff needed upgrades and I couldn't find what I wanted here and the free shipping was worth it. Cheap subscriptions were an added benefit.

Not sure what it would cost without.

2. Nothing I've seen since Rachael and Lawrence talked about it earlier in the evening on MSNBC.

I refuse to watch FPN - Fox Propaganda Network.

Looks like all the news outlets are working late tonight on the spin cycle before they report much of anything. Tomorrow and Sunday it will be nothing more than things like bad intel, partisan politics, etc.. coming from the spin cycle. Trump could be caught on video having anal sex with a 6-year-old boy chained to the bed, and the media and repuke talking heads would spin it clean in no time.
