The fascination with celebrities is well... fascinating.
And like I said, yes, you do care. You've proven it with every post. I don't know why the media talks about it. Many things get talked about, that's simply how the world works.

Again, no I don't care what they say or how they feel about things. I don't know why you assume I do. I have not insinuated that their opinions alone bother me. Anybody can have whatever opinion they want. What irks and confuses me is the amount of attention they get for certain opinions and issues. Celebrities for the most part are enertainers. Why does the news tell us who they will vote for? Who they support?

Here someone wrote an article (OP posted) just regurgitating tweets between Baldwin and Trump... why? If I wanted to know what either of them thought about this issue I would check their twitters. I would find out myself. These aren't newsworthy pressing issues. No one needs to write an article telling people what Baldwin tweeted. Of course they can if they want but I just wonder where the motivation and draw comes from. Clearly there is an audience because if there weren't the media wouldn't bother telling us but it goes back to my question why people even care to know then. Like I said earlier I doubt Alec Baldwin will be influencing anyone's vote (had this all gone done prior).

Alec Baldwin slandered Obama for 8 years? Post some links.

This is exactly the type of thinking the Trump campaign supported which is why we are so divided and our country is poisoned with hate and fear.
No, it was actually Hillary's "basket of deplorables" sneer. What presidential candidate thinks they can malign half the country's population and still win the election?

Alec Baldwin and daughter Ireland mock 'rude, thoughtless pig' rant | Daily Mail Online

Regarding the original rant:

Quote:
'For me it was like, ‘OK, whatever.’ I called him back. I was like, ‘Sorry Dad, I didn’t have my phone.’ That was it.'

Let's start with Bush invading Iraq over WMD's. I mean, really, what more even needs said?
With Congressional approval. That is one thing more that needs to be said.

It does. Obama called the entire country "racists." Do you not remember Obama's sneer that racism is part of our country's DNA?

Hillary called half the country's population "deplorable."

And Dems are still stumped as to why they lost.

Why did Fox News talk about what Christmas card the White House was using? You want insignificant, there you go.

The reason they're newsworthy is because the president elect is tweeting about something that happened on SNL and asking for equal time. No other president has ever done that. I presume Alec Baldwin tweets all the time (no idea--I don't have a Twitter account) but his other tweets aren't newsworthy.

Trump's behavior is unprecedented and that's why this story is newsworthy.

Actually, it was Clinton before Bush who started the Iraq has and has used WMDs meme. And Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act authorizing the use of our DoD assets to depose Saddam Hussein.

What a surprise... liberals ignorant of historical fact.
