So I thought I would give CNN a look after a year long boycott

and what do I see? The dipshit talking heads gushing and debating about president Dump trying for a third term. How effing stupid do they have to be? Even if you are going to report what the A-hole says, which they shouldn't, it should be what he said followed by the fact that he can't. Then move on to a story worth reporting. Oh well, no CNN for at least another 4 years.

The stupidity and complicity for the most part. I stopped all news except local about 2 years ago and have only watched snippets here and there. I get so disgusted by them I start yelling at the tv which is not good for me or my cats.

My brother watches it a lot, but when I ask him what happened he often says he doesn't know 😹 Because he is reading his computer at the same time.

but they have some good reports of other news and although basically they are humpers they rarely mention or show him etc.

I don't only read at du, I read many articles elsewhere too.

I really enjoy it and they really went after the orange Hitler and repukes. Last night they had a show on after about Clarence Thomas and his sexually harassing Anita Hill.

It's not enough for me to want to boost their ratings either way.

From the debacle of Vance and Greenland and the wrecked stock market due to tariffs!

And, and .. his losses in the courts.

I can’t stand to watch his smug schtick, and the rest of the cast at CNN are just playing vapid newsmodels at this point.
