Ok, I can't take it anymore. ALL of the discussions all over the TV

[rainy]

are about Republicans. Their base is so angry bla bla bla. Trump, Trump, Trump. It is so blatently dissing all Democrats. If any discussion does happen to be about a Democrat it is a negative about Hillary and an email account. Something has to give. Before the Media can blink they will have propelled Trump to the Whitehouse and then think of the years of ratings that will bring. Help us!!!! Someone Help Us.

1. Well, what you're really saying is that they are effectively blocking-out the Sanders movement.

Pretending it doesn't exist. But we knew that would happen.

If you were M$M, you'd block-out out ( or minimize) Sanders too.

2. They fear ideas not their own. nt

3. they try as they always do

but they aren't the only influences.

4. I know!

Republicans are always first in line. Anything happens, Republicans are right there to comment. Terrorist bombing in Bangkok? No, that's not a top story, Donald Trump is, a long story, then a negative one about Hillary Clinton and emails. Anything remotely positive about Democrats is presented as a freakish thing -- body language and inflection of the talking heads loud and clear. Republicans are the Daddies who know everything and Democrats are bad.

5. I finally had to stop watching.

Frankly, I feel better. Been traveling anyway. Take a TV news hiatus.

[Zorra]

6. I'll help. Everyone kill their fucking televisions. No more Trump, no more money for

the people who are selling him.

It's not rocket science.

7. Turn it off. You will feel so much better.

[bigwillq]

8. Then turn it off.

I have. I know I am not missing much.

9. My TV sits in its place in the entertainment center, permanently black. It's just

I don't have anything to put in its place.

10. ok - I can help . . . turn off your television

11. Something has "given" in this scenario ...

... television. TV, as we have known it, is on a downward spiral. It has less influence on fewer people. As the traditional media continues along this path, they will find themselves out of a job entirely.

12. It's the Trump Circus

Give it some more time. By the late fall, I think the novelty will have worn off and by winter Trump won't be the phenomenon he currently is. The American public is quite fickle, especially about entertainment. I will admit that he really understands entertainment and celebrity culture, but I don't think it can be sustained long term. Fortunately for us, the damage he's doing won't be so easily lost. He's thrown everyone else off target and it's a race to the bottom in trying to out crazy each other right now.

Don't panic. Sanders is pulling big crowds too and Hillary is still quite reserved in her campaigning. Trump isn't going to walk away with the nomination let alone the election. Not saying to underestimate him, but don't overestimate him either. He's a circus and people will eventually bore of the entertainment value.
