In reply to the discussion: 2/3 Of America Want To Vomit At The Sight Of Trump CNN/MSNBC [View all]Oneironaut
(6,307 posts)24. People are under false the impression that A- CNN and MSNBC are against Trump, and B - they are real
news. They love Trump. He's the villain that they've all been waiting for, and he's making them lots of money. Trump is the man that America loves to hate - it's all a reality show. It's entertainment, not news.
Americans are fascinated by Trump, and they don't want him to leave office. They want more drama, in-fighting, and entertainment. Trump knows this, and he's delivering. America loves a villain, and they love (to hate) Trump!
(I'm not saying this in a good way. My point is, Americans are so hopelessly deluded and disconnected from reality that they want Trump to turn the country into a chaotic mess. They think he's hilarious, and treat him like a TV villain. The White House has become just another extension of reality television.).

You should re-think anything that leads you to agree with Trump's definition of news.

No. You're living in the partisan world. That's valid, as long as a person recognizes that.

News doesn't normally cover extended family, unless they do something noteworthy (or bad).
