I now watch CNN except on Sat. am when I watch Morning Joy. I recently subscribed to NYT for the first time ever and have bought several Newsweek's just to read Eichenwald's articles. We really need them right now with this unprecedented time of having a true traitor and criminal fraud and assaulter in charge. This is just so freaking awful and embarrassing to boot. I'm ashamed to be an American right now because of the harm that's been done to our country and the world by electing the shitgibbon.
