Whenever Trump starts talking about stock market, his record economy, or Obama, or Democrats...

The networks should immediately cut away. There is no doubt but that he is going to spout political propaganda. They should not let him ramble on like he does. He is using them for free advertising and lying about it in the process.

The media needs to get their sh*t together.

Propaganda.

Little ole me, all alone in my isolation, cheering on myself to boycott.
It’s a lonely job, but hey, someone has to do it.

they learned their lesson from 2016.

BUT......

It is their basic corporate mission: MAKE MONEY!

If they take a stance that will eliminate any number of potential viewers, that brings down profits.

Their charter (reason for existence) is NOT to present the truth (sounds like a RepubliCon, doesn't it?)

They are there to make money.

Let me repeat: THEY ARE THERE TO MAKE MONEY!!!!!

Ain't no conscience there - just a goal for $$$$$$

Keep that in mind - they are not there to help us - we need to do our own ground work:

GET OUT THE VOTE!
