Can somebody please explain to me

why this piece of crap Christopher Ruddy (he of NewsMax and the Clinton conspiracy theories in the 1990's) is a guest on the Sunday talk shows? He claims to be a journalist, but in actuality he is a mouthpiece and propagandist for Trump - and NOBODY alls him on it. What is he the go-to guest now? Drives me fucking crazy.

I worked as a journalist for many years, and I still don't get why that's bad.

Truth is truth, right? Let the chips fall where they may!

However, no profit in that (they say) and powder-puffing the bottoms of tantrum-throwing psychopaths must be done, FOR FAIRNESS no matter how the truth suffers.

I think it's BS, but that is the world of high-level TV producers.

It's up to us to change that. Nobody is coming to our rescue.
