The news is no longer the news. It's commentary loaded with snark and negativity. I don't watch, but occasionally have the TV on when a nightly news program starts, and my hands are busy with cooking or sewing or whatever, so I keep doing what I'm doing instead of reaching for the remote. If I were to believe the snippets I hear, I would think the country was descending into the chaos the babbling idiots (Holt, Muir, that other guy, whatever his name is) are always saying is churning "with this administration" or in "the current White House".


Woe is me and the sky is falling.I realize much of America (most) isn't smart enough to think for themselves; I'm just glad I'm not one of them.

The first part of this statement by you is very correct. I'll change the second part, so it is also factual: "I'm just sad that I have to be one of them".

I don't watch TV.

It's so much easier that way. I recommend you try it. Put on a movie. Catch up on a good series. Read a book.

I get all my political news from the Internet. Much less annoying that way.

More like another week of the highly-biased media bashing Trump.

Nope, Trump makes the news constantly, here's a refresher:

1) Trump Fires Comey
2) Trump tells Lester Holt I did it with Russia on the mind
3) Trump welcomes Russian Foreign Minister and his goons into the Oval Office
4) Comey has memo's reflecting Trumps effort to impede FBI investigation

And that is all in, what, 4 or 5 days. This is a scandal ridden presidency with no end in sight. The end will come in the form of impeachment or an embarrassing resignation.

The lack of journalist integrity has just reached a new extreme. What happened to reporting the facts? Last night was a prime example. Late breaking news! We now have a report that Trump supposedly ordered Comey to stand down on Flynn. Obstruction of justice! Wait, let's back up. Do we even have a copy of the memo? Nope, apparently, as long as it is anti-Trump news, hearsay will do just fine. Hey NBC, how about you get some evidence first before you accuse the President of a serious crime? And that was on top of the classified info story. We don't even know exactly that info was given to the Russians, but that's ok. Trump is already a traitor according to the NBC news.

I don't think I can stomach watching Lester Holt and Chuck Todd ever again. How can anyone trust these liberal news outlets who clearly have an agenda to destroy Trump? I had to go to this website to find out exactly what Trump has done. The guy has been busy. Of course, it is a positive action, I'll never heard about it on NBC.

Say it ain't so. After 8 years of relentless negativity and birthism, right-nuts can't stand a little heat now that the orange one is in the WH.

I hear the outrage too from my friends and family Many are sick of it and no longer watch the liberal news. The liberal networks are destroying their own credibility. Be happy, they will reap what they sow.

Apparently Fox is also the 'liberal news" according to your fellow Trumpies because they dare criticize Dear Leader.
