CNN, MSNBc, whatever---I change the channel whenever I see or hear

[Atticus]

Hugh Hewitt, Greta, Jeffrey Lord, Jason Miller, Paris Dennard, Megyn Kelly and any of several other wingnut hookers that someone who is totally out of touch thinks I will "get used to" and "accept". It ain't happenin'. I have better things to do than risk a case of intellectual clap by listening to these Trump whores.

[Little Star]

1. Yep!

[pirateshipdude]

2. Wow. A whole lot of sexist slurs in defiling Republicans.

Always a treat from the left.

[Atticus]

5. 1. No need to defile Republicans. They defile themselves by being Republicans. 2. "hooker" and

"whore" are common synonyms for "prostitute", which someone should have taught you can involve a selling of one's self that need not involve sex at all. 3. You aren't very good at snark. "A man's got to know his limitations."

Been here since '02. You?

[pirateshipdude]

6. Mmmm. Eom

[PatSeg]

19. Excellent retort

I knew what you meant and took no offense whatsoever.

[BigmanPigman]

3. I turn them off IMMEDIATELY!

I have to save what's left of my mental and physical health. Besides, my neighbors will start complaining if I start ranting at th TV too loudly.

[L. Coyote]

4. I don't ever watch in the first place. I pick my viewing from YouTube later.

Listening to network news is too traumatic. It just does not conform to reality.

[Stinky The Clown]

7. Add Matt Schlapp to your list

And after today's Press the Meat, Ronna McDaniels.

[Atticus]

8. Schlapp triggers my gag reflex every time. Don't know McDaniels, but your

rec is good for me.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. I read the mirror reaction on RW sites. I have a better solution: I don't have a TV. . . . nt

[oberliner]

10. Likewise

Especially Jeffrey Lord, Jason Miller, and Paris Dennard.

CNN tends to have the worst of them.

[Chevy]

11. Prefer the terms

Sycophantic,pathological propagandists.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. RWAF Right Wing Authoritarian Follower covers it all. They have these characteristics:

[Chevy]

13. That works as well n/t

[MiddleClass]

14. I agree, with a few exceptions

Greta Van Susteren, tries to be middle-of-the-road reporting, but that Fox news stink could not come off that easy. Also, her guests were old gems that were Fox news molded. On another note, why the right wing turn on CNN, with Jake Tapper a year ago, the Washington Examiner supplies everybody, and MSNBC with Greta and Hugh Hewitt? Pay off? Fair and balanced?

[joanbarnes]

15. Owe! Well said.......

[mdbl]

16. Completely agree and I'll add...

no offense to sex workers.

[DownriverDem]

17. Greta is gone

I agree with all the others though.

[tavernier]

18. I have to turn whenever trump comes on.

Can't stomach his face or voice.

[czarjak]

20. Rich Lowery on MTP?

Because you can never guess what his position will be, huh?

[calimary]

21. Well, if it's any consolation, CNN had Richard Painter on this afternoon for a one-on-one

regarding the NYTimes breaking news about that meeting Donnie Junior, Kushner, and then-campaign manager Manafort held with that Russian lawyer to get dirt she supposedly had on Hillary. It was the first time I've heard the word "treason" uttered, on the air, on the record, from a credible individual who is in a position to know stuff like this. Richard Painter was dubya's chief ethics lawyer. And he seems like a straight-shooter, quite literally concerned about ethics and clean government. And, regarding this story, his bottom line was - "if that is true, it is treason."

Richard Painter had some really great quotes - I felt a need to write them down.

"That's criminal conduct and assisting an adversary in an attack on the United States. And that's treason."

To the matter of Donnie's dad claiming he didn't know about the meeting -
"That's like going to a fence and buying a TV set and then saying you didn't know it was stolen goods."

"This has got to stop. This is no way to protect the United States."

"He needs to be taking this a lot more seriously, and he's not doing it."

And to the utter folly of the idea that there's a "working group" being proposed with Putin on cyber-security, "this is like entrusting our nuclear arsenal to Iran, for the protection of Israel."

I also noticed, btw, that the Russian attorney was a rather fetching young lass. I bet that's part of how the Russians play the game. They have female operatives and I bet they're all lookers. Especially since dollars-to-donuts they know it's an American man they'll be "working with."

But, again, today marks the first time I've heard anybody with any on-the-record credibility and experience and unimpeachable legitimacy invoke the "T-word." Meaning "TREASON." First time I've heard this. I made a note about it. WE here in the inter-webs use that word frequently. But it hasn't openly and decisively been uttered on a mainstream news outlet til today on CNN. Perhaps at the rate we're going with trump/Russia, it will only be the first of many.

22. Cut cable!

Some 18 months ago, I delivered my cable boxes and remotes to the local Bombast storefront. Told them I wasn't going to pay them $200+ a month for channels I did not watch.
Installed an HD antenna in my attic, and used Bombast's local wiring to connect it to my two TVs. So I can still watch any of the 30+ local channels, including five under PBS.
Never looked back.

I can find all the news I need on the Internet. And I'm not the only one. Ten years ago, a local executive for Cisco Systems told me that cable was doomed. In ever-increasing numbers, Millennials, Y-Gens and a growing number of Boomers and Busters are turning to streaming content -- Netflix, Hulu, etc. -- for entertainment. That's what killed Blockbuster, and has Redbox on life-support.

Isn't it time you assumed (regained) control of your TV?
