Donald Trump and the joke that is called The Media

So what does Trump's endorsement of Romney mean? It won't make any difference during the primaries, or the general election.

Why is Trump's endorsement being covered as "news?" You'd think something "important" had happened.

Let's face it. Were Trump not born wealthy, he might be working in a carnival side show biting the heads off live chickens.

And those who control the media, along with their lackeys who pretend to report "news," really should be working in carnival side shows. At least it would be more honest work than they are currently doing.

What do you call a country in which the media doesn't cover real news and important issues?
What do you call a country in which a side-show fraud is front page "news?"
What do you call a country in which far too many people gobble up the crap the media feeds them?

Most of the analysis seems to center around the fact that it probably won't matter all that much. That's better than nothing.

..but I get your point about this being garbage reporting. What a waste of perfectly good dead air space.
