Gov't by distraction. We're talking about Hamilton & SNL, not the Trump U. pay out

Sorry, this point goes to Trump.

A story that can have a lasting impact on how strong a leader Trump ends up being gets swooshed down the memory hole, while we engage in show biz gossip over a couple of celebrity feuds. We've tackled the wrong running back and now they've moved the ball across the 50 yard line.

Way to go, America.

This is America! Reality show! Only way to get eyeballs. You know, how our news programming has become infotainment?

going to other sources to get my news. You know I heard this a while back a uninformed electorate is a dangerous electorate. Very dangerous to dumb down citizens of a country.
