An idea for the media. I know it's hard to keep up, but

We simply can't continue to move from one Donnie Dipshit scandal to another just because there are so many of them.

This came to mind as I watched Rachel talk about the US ambassador to the UK asking that the British Open be moved to Donnie Shit for Brains Scotland golf course.

I found myself thinking; "oh yeah, that was so, like, 2 days ago".

The Russian bounty on our troops has gone "poof".

So has Jar-Jar, the Ken Doll Edition, deciding; "fuck em, they're blue states anyway".

Those are just a couple of "earth-shattering" corruption scandals that have just disappeared.

Here's my idea. Take two weeks, and each day assign all the shows to do IN-DEPTH reporting and interviews about one of the scandals that currently just blow by like tumbleweeds in a dust storm.

Monday could be Russia Bounty Day. Tuesday for Jar-Jar "let them die, they didn't vote for dadda". Wednesday for the British Open, Thursday for Ukraine, Friday for Money Laundering through the inaugural committee, etc.

Of course, if there is "real" Breaking News, you can pop in and report it, but each one of these scandals needs some thorough reporting.

The fact that you can't keep up with the scandals is evidence that you NEED TO KEEP UP THE SCANDALS!
