I just don't get why CNN and MSNBC is broadcasting this crazy shit.

Just flipped over from FSTV and to the other two cable stations. THis is insane he is saying lying unhinged shit. Flipped back over to FSTV. Luckily they didn't preempt regular tv for this insane rant.

Too bad they don't just fact check him in crawls underneath.

I always wondered what it was like to be in the audience for one of hitler's rants. What was the cadence, what were the words that enraptured so many?

Also, watching Melania the nude model ask easy questions at the child shelter, then scoot away because it's raining tells me they are running scared.

All one really needs to know is this,take a look at the Board of Directors and Major ownership of Comcast Stock. Nuf said. The Outlet CEO's were and are the same Fellows how put the Apprentice on the Air and juiced the numbers until the Advertisers wised up.

It is called Pay back for acsess to the Trump Crime Family.

and there is this attempt to have it both ways. Can not imagine the crap going on with in their Production Staffs. O'Donnell and Maddow control their content,the rest is a what ever. Chirs Hayes seems to control his content to a certain extent.

August,just before the September/October Campaigning hits top speed. Watch for Chuck Todd's on air interview guests,watch Morning Joe and his narrative.

It is all about the bottom line ad profits,and if their advertiser's are targeting a certain segment of voters,which you can tell by the Make-up of their on Screen Actors,and their messaging ,that Cable News Company will swing in that direction.

Never forget,Comcast Media as well as Sinclair Broadcasting went all in with free pormo's of Trump with major paybacks in Customer viewership as well as Ad Dollars coming in the front door.
