and they all seem to listen to one another and then just repeat what they hear and they have the same talking heads on, not just on one network but the same people are on two or three networks or radio and some network so there are really very few voices heard. The same people are on CNN and Bill Maher, then on MSNBC and CNN, etc. In some ways, I think it is good that the American public does not pay much attention to the news. I am very happy to see HRC getting good press but I don't understand why all the networks seem to keep showing on TV are the republican buffoons rather than her. I also don't agree with their assessment that her campaign was lagging or dropping, the way they put it she was facing disaster. Gimme a break! Most people are not paying attention, in my opinion, most people think she's the only sane choice in this freak show field (I'm talking about the repub field) and they aren't paying attention to how the media was practically saying her campaign was dead. The media want to build things up, try to create suspense, oh look Hillary is losing in polls! oh look Hillary's campaign is dull, look at Trump and how entertaining he is! and it's all bullshit and I feel like they are the only ones buying into what they say. It's ridiculous. They live in their own world. I like some on MSNBC like Chris Hayes who I think has a lot of integrity but good lord, the way some on there were going on like they think Bernie is going to win the nomination, please. I like Bernie Sanders, but I feel his campaign is more about putting the media spotlight on certain issues he feels passionately about, the income gap, how wall street needs to be held accountable which I totally agree with and which needs more attention, than about him actually wanting to be president. My response to this post may be a bit tangential but needed to get this off my chest.
