CNN is the news equivalent of Seinfeld.

On Wolf's show at 6 last night, I thought CNN resembled Seinfeld. It was a show about nothing. Specifically, the show's theme was about Putin doing nothing and how smart Trump thought Putin was for doing nothing and how interesting CNN thought it was that Trump thought how smart Putin was for doing nothing. And CNN had a panel to discuss Putin doing nothing with a caption informing viewers that Trump thought Putin was "very smart".

That they are trying to give the appearance of covering a story, without actually covering the story.

issue and the entire conversation lasts about 3 minutes because they have to hurry off to cover the sale of the hatching toys or some other mindless garbage.

Have a feeling 2017 will be another lousy year, so we'll all need what laughs we can muster.
