11. I just can't believe they did not see this coming

it is like they have not lived in or observed what has happened in this country and our media over the last quarter century.

Rs only believe in whatever 100% feeds their hate addiction.
They have no interest in "journalism."
They CRAVE validation of their hatred.

CNN is NEVER going to get their eyes or ears unless they bring in a full slate of Faux propogandists.
