3. Context: They've been mocking the living shit out of him all morning.

They've been showing clips of Marco Rubio ripping him a new one and making fun of him all morning--I have to say, I find "Teen Titan" Rubio a noxious fellow, but he's been giving me more than a few laughs--he is doing a GREAT job ripping Trump to shreds! He called Trump's plane "Hair Force One" and made fun of his spray tan! Then he said "Trump likes to sue people, he should sue the one who did that to his face!"

If anyone gets a "take away" that CNN is "in the tank" for Trump, ninety seconds of actually watching them will disabuse you. They are bringing on person after person who are calling him everything from a con man to a crook.

5. Hillary should play a reel of Republicans insulting each other.

6. I think that will be a great ad in the general election--that last debate was a

treasure trove of material!

7. They should have been doing that long before now.

I think it's a little late to start calling Trump out for the sideshow idiot that he is.

I saw he was on CNN so I switched to MSNBC just to check...yep, sure enough. Never saw any one candidate get so much constant media time ever.

8. Never saw any one candidate get so much constant media time ever.

I have--Obama got a LOAD of media in 08. He drew the crowds, he had Oprah in his corner, he ran some of the most exciting rallies, his events were theatrical and grand--they were made for TV.

The media LIKES the candidates who are exciting, different, OTT, wild, and stir the emotions.

Also, keep in mind that the Democratic contest this time around is between two people who are actually close in many of their views, share many of the same goals, who are adults who are issue-centric, and who have not drawn blood in discussing their differences.



The GOP contest, on the other hand, is a pie-fight shit-fling screaming crazy nasty barn burning explosion of ... RATINGS.

One is boring and policy-centric; the other is name-calling.

The sad truth is this--most people would rather watch "Real Housewives" than "Charlie Rose." Shit-flinging sells. Nowadays, it sells better than sex!

On edit--right now, on MSNBC, they've been showing Clinton's stump/rally speech--the whole thing, without interruption. They cut away from T-Rump....

4. I guess the question is?

Does CNN have any credibility with it's viewers?

[csziggy]

9. Has CNN found MH 370?

They've been looking for it long enough.

10. "Hold on, Wolf."

"We think we've got a toilet close-up, just give us a second..."
