3. That is what we are up against......
and that is why constantly carping about this President all over,
helps them, not us.

5. CNN is NOT worse than Fox...they are one and the SAME!
CNN is a garbge outlet made to appease people with 5 second attention spans. Foxnews was created as an outlet for batshit crazy, angry white men that hate the world and want to rule over slaves.

11. Because they believe it will bring in/retain viewers
We need to disabuse them of that notion.

Media is all about readers/watchers. Change that and their behavior will change

14. CNN has really been sucking a lot lately. Why don't we call SP a "semi-governor" as
semi is Latin for half.

I like half governor by the way. +1
