5. I am starting to look at it a different way to stop myself from getting so crazy mad

I look at those people and I realize how unhappy they must be. How can they be happy when they know they are whoring themselves out in the worst possible way for money? "The love of money is the root of all evil" means that the person who is loving the money can't possibly be happy because how can you be happy when you are being evil?

Even Trump. The man must be miserable. Even if he has no conscience how can a person like that find any sort of peace of happiness?

They are really pitiful if you think about it.


Anyway, it is helping me. For what it is worth

3. "Nothing to see here... Mainstream Media In Hysterics...."

It kind seems like they are saying their news show is boring. Go tune into a mainstream media if you want to see something exciting.

7. Also odd that they blame "mainstream media"

When they claim such a lions share of the mainstream audiences. And brag about their ratings.
What is the definition of "mainstream"?

Look at those legs! Nobody who watches that crap in the morning with the blonde-of-the-hour in the tight short sleeveless dress is paying all that much attention to much else, I'd guess. It's "beauty and two beasts," the pretty girl between two clowns. The Donald certainly spends a lot of time watching them, so I hear.

9. You nailed it

So to speak. Ailes moved the desk and brought T&A to news unlike it had been before. Megyn Kelley had a desk but it was clear glass.

That's what drew people in (like weather "girls" on TV around the globe) the content was irrelevant. Once you have them, you just repeat the same nonsense and that sinks in.

10. Hell, I saw a clip of "Pox and Piss-ants" just a few minutes earlier THIS morning

and in that clip, they didn't even bother with a desk, lucite or otherwise. There were the legs, right smack-dab in the middle of the screen, between the two clowns, bare and oiled, coming out of another short tight skirt, and maybe if you just reached out far enough into your television, you MIGHT actually be able to grope them!

OBVIOUSLY they're playing to the Dirty-Old-Man demographic like Roger Ailes (who's the fucking architect of all this soft-core porn) except WITHOUT the money and influence.

6. Their audience is so stupid they have to spell out what should be a subliminal message.

"Nothing to see here".

Same reason they've switched from dog whistles to bullhorns.
