Mainstream media won't stop. They're best friends with whoever's the Democratic president. Why would you belittle your best friend?

If CNN doesn't make AT&T enough money, they change it. If Fox News doesn't make Fox Corp enough money, they change it. If MSNBC doesn't make Comcast enough money, they change it.



The irony
The directives come from the government which owns the media, no?

Me too. My smile is sometimes accompanied with a twitch, but I'm sure that will pass.

Two people told me now they feel like they can breathe again.
That is the fault of their own, a hysterical media, and a decaying culture.

I'll give you a practical example: Antony Blinken was selected as SOS.

The media cheered for this nomination. He is an institutionalist.

Blinken also worked for major lobbyist organizations. As an institutionalists he supported the Iraq war, the intervention in Libya, and the removal of Assad.

Good or bad, what does any of this have to do with you?

They don't consider the world as you do, and stability to them means a completely different thing than it does to you.

He'll be revered by bottom feeders who continue to have their existence subsidized by others hard work and by the liberals who just parrot what cnn tells them is the truth.

You are not part of that club, so don't jump along pretending you are part of the party.
Nope, what you see & hear is relief. The entire world heaved a gigantic sigh of relief when the garbage was tossed out & the adults returned. Pure sweet simple relief. Enjoy it.

Yeah, please show me where "the media" is doing the equivalent of playing dress up with tacky Trump gear.

Also, for people who don't watch "MSM", as you call it, you sure do know a lot about it.

I haven’t notice any of that. Seems like people are just relieved.
