Watching hockey.

The MSM is useless. They will do anything to make this close.

At the top of the hour, the sub that's in for Anderson started going on about how Drumpf was spewing BS during his trip today, and how wrong it was.

And then, of course, they started to play Drumpf doing exactly that. I immediately turned them off.

It's one thing to say that he's spewing BS, that we shouldn't listen to. THEN DON'T TURN AROUND AND PLAY THAT BS, AND WASTE OUR TIME, AND GIVE HIM COVERAGE!!

And it's not like they presented it without commentary or context. They painted it in a negative context, then showed it.

I'm not sure what people want here. No coverage? Not how a free press and democracy works.

"I don't like this, so the media should ban it."

That sentiment always scares me, no matter which side it comes from.

(Full disclosure, I don't watch cable news. I don't need my opinions spoon fed to me. I can read around and figure things out for myself. Why people keep giving media corporations money is beyond me. Complain about what corporate media do, then watch ravenously, every single day. Okedoke then).

no one is or even if they are, they shouldn't. The MEDIA should match their preferences exactly or its a corrupt cabal, yet watch on.

but the question is: why do they have people like this on in the first place? Asking the counsel for the Trump Re-election about airplanes full of people in black clothing flying either to DC or Away from DC to who knows where the hell and for what the hell just because the idiot fucker in chief is spreading his wild eyed conspiracy theories.

Stop giving this bullshit airtime CNN. Enough.

They waste everybody's time by giving more than 5 seconds, if even that's needed, to mentioning any crazy bullshit that escapes his piehole.

When the M$M says they are impartial, what they really mean is - ratings drive ad cost and revenue drives on air talent bonuses.

I have noticed both CNN and MSNBC are entertaining the lowest of low of the repubs and Trumpers. I have decided to turn them off everytime, I am considering watching only Rachel, Lawrence and sometimes Brian Williams but I am pretty much done with CNN.
