Why does the news even follow trump?

[pwb]

He belittles news organizations all the time. I am o k not seeing our president being foolish not wearing a mask. Ignoring him will really piss him off. I would.

1. I think some of them are waiting to cover him keeling over.

It is not an impossibility.

[SoonerPride]

2. they strill treat him like he is a regular president.

I would refuse to cover his nonsense.

[pwb]

3. They should all wear full PPE when he is around.

That would be a hoot.

5. The so called news is partly how we got him.

The days of Walter Cronkite are long gone. Dan Rather tried to tell the truth and was made an example of.

Ratings and money rule. That is partly how Jon Stewart and Colbert got to be mega. Daily show and Colbert Report gave more news than the news.

DJT is the natural result.

7. I stopped watching the news because of him ...

so it wouldn't bother me. I read the news so I can pick and choose.

8. Why do people on I-95 slow down for car crashes?

Why are train wrecks, aviation mishaps, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and tornadoes covered by the news?

Huge disasters ALWAYS draw attention, and Lard Butt is the biggest fucking disaster to hit this nation since the Civil War.

9. Misplaced loyalty to the office. It's sad.

I remember when we used to have something called investigative journalism. No one investigates anything anymore. They pull it off the wire, change a few words and post it under their brand. Most of the time they don't even bother with; who, what, when, were and why. You are lucky to get 3 of those in a single story.

[Yeehah]

10. COMEDY GOLD!!

Commander Bonespurs is going totally froot loops!

[Karadeniz]

11. So we won't forget that elections have consequences.
