(718 posts)Might be the best at that type of commentary. Would love to see a full show like Countdown on one of the cable news networks.

(19,199 posts)I don't, however, expect the the media to refrain from doing so. So much of the media has based their "news" reporting to include entertainment, if you consider Donald Trump and his traveling shit-show "entertainment". That's how FOX Noise has galvanized their hold on American right-wingnuts. There's very little "news" on FOX. It's mostly their opinions manufactured to resemble real news.
No, the media will slobber all over Trump's divisive words, just so they won't lose any ground to all the other media outlets doing exactly the same. That's entertainment, after all.

(7,367 posts)And Olbermann is right: beaming him into households on election night will give him the "immoral high ground". That is why he cancelled the party at Trump Hotel and moved it to the White House.

(205,237 posts)Just as it was in 2016, to the detriment of serious candidates - from both parties. And, apparently, the more outrageous, the better - and if it's illegal, that generates ratings, too.
Hopefully after we win there will be lots of reform. This cannot happen again.
