Stop, stop, stop, media

Someone on MSNBC talking about Dump voluntarily releasing the returns. Someone on CNN hoping he settles down and becomes "stable."

Stop, stop, stop already. He doesn't need to be fixed or checked — he needs to be excised.

It’s not that they believe their bothsiderism. It’s that they want gladiator level bloodbaths 24/7.

It’s their cavalier attempt to keep ratings up.

The media only does this with Republicans and it is consistent for over 20 years. With Obama every decision was make or break, they set up most speeches that way. There was no slack given. Under Bush it was as it is with tRump. Under Clinton not so much.

Stating that the media wants a horse race gives them cover, they flip immediately when a Dem is being questioned. Chuck Todd said it best, to paraphrase, 'not our job to verify the truth.' Obama gets elected and he states he took criticism for not going after Bush so he and the media needed to serve as a check on Obama.

him in 2020. On the last week of that term for about 1.5 hours, he'll decide to not act like a methed out weasel. Yeah that's the ticket....... Seriously, how fucking stupid are these people paid to act, or do they think we are?

Cable News crap.

For the past few months,a pattern is emerging with Weekend Cable News. First is they are testing various messages for the up coming Campaign Season which Trump kick off on November 9th. Secondly,they are populating their Panels with as many dubious right wing hacks as possible . Thirdly,these so called on air Talents on Weekends,many must come out of Central Castings I work cheap and I'am a easy stooge,show me the money and that's all folks.

You just have to love Cuckie Toad's botherism crap being used on most of these stations.
