    I understand, being polite, discrete and objective...but then there comes a time to say what it IS

    At least the media would be able to correctly interpret the actions and events.
    Do you think they are overwhelmed???

    That is the tricky part. The conservatives are trying to implement their tea party approved and funded agenda quietly where they can, and are having some success at firing people or not filling the government jobs to downside the government like they want. Even though I'm not sure if they are doing it on purpose or are incompetent and can't find the worst person for the job who will help dismantle it or prove that government is bad and that agency isn't needed.

    The tweets are distracting the news media from doing the hard investigative journalism work and probably making people turn off the news. The bigger issue is what will this mean in 2019-2020 during the next election and the sheer volume of distractions that is easy for the media to talk about and to give out free publicity.

    If they can come up with algorithms to sell us shit, they can certainly do it to weed out that kind of stuff.

    You've got to do it right.
    For all the right reasons.
    No matter if left, right or otherwise.

    The media just wants their money.
    If it sells, it plays.

    Let's get them to allow some light in...or shine it on them more.
    Cockroaches don't like lights often.

    Now for generic tabloid rather than politically biased tabloid.
    I wonder if we'll get better quality rumor and innuendo?? ;)

    I don't know how anyone can read that report and not see that Trump is a problem.

    Is sticking it to the Dems so blinding that one can't see how flawed Trump is?
