Instead of another half hour of the Flintstones.

They ran an episode of the Flintstones instead of any news.

He is giving out false medical advice that is now killing those stupid enough to listen to him and drink aquarium cleaner. Then again, if they are stupid enough to listen to him, maybe they have it coming. Still, I don't see how anyone can stand listening to him. I instinctively turn him off. My bullshit meter works.

Guess they realize its a waste of time and revenue as their programs and commercials were being unnecessarily eliminated.

Maybe watching a president give a briefing is a habit from the days of having Obama as president. Trump is No Obama though. Trump is a dumbass. Anyone listening to him and his bullshit advice is finding death. I hope Democrats know not to drink aquarium cleaner. It doesn't keep you from getting corona virus unless you count death from poisoning as an effective way to not get it. I guess technically, it works in that way, but is death really better than just staying the fuck home on a long vacation when that has been proven to work?
