(3,194 posts)I am done with the national news channels.
Under Shrub, I at least watched Keith O., with his Special Comments, but these days, there's nothing out there worthwhile.
I'll get my news from Colbert, Oliver, Bee and Noah.

(1,237 posts)President Obama gives his last national security speech where he attacked Trump and his vision, and they air an empty podium. I guess the optics of those serving applauding the Democratic President as he speaks out against Islamophobia doesn't fit the narrative they're trying to sell the public.
We are fighting terrorists who claim to fight on behalf of Islam, but they do not speak for over a billion Muslims around the world. And they do not speak for American Muslims, including many who wear the uniform of the United States of Americas military, Obama said. If we stigmatize good, patriotic Muslims, that just feeds the terrorists narrative. It fuels the same false grievances that they use to motivate people to kill. If we act like this is a war between the United States and Islam, were not just gonna lose more Americans to terrorist attacks, but well also lose sight of the very principles we claim to defend.
That would kinda spoil Trumps message of hate.
