19. Watch Trump double down

Sat Jan 7, 2017, 12:32 PM

Jan 2017

Unless there is some residual humanity floating around in Trump's thick infantile narcissistic skull, we can expect him to double down on his anti-intelligence tweets. And here's the thing - none of this would have been possible if we had a real news media, a valid "fourth estate" -- a press that treated news as news, and infotainment as non-news.
You know, not spend infinite amounts of time on EMAIL, and disregard Trump's ... well, everything.
But those tuned into Fox News have had decades of misinformation; it's what they "know".
So to me the bottom line is that I will forever condemn Ronald Reagan for his part in the destruction of the Fairness Doctrine, without which the right-wing fake news echo chamber couldn't exist.
