44. Total agreement

I have always said this - all the media cares about are profits - they are just like DJT. They could care less is it destroys our country. I watch a little bit of the news just to know what is going on but I stop watching it non-stop. IF it is bad, they love broadcasting it to get all of us stirred up...they have posted his lies and treat them like facts!!!
