the media just can't quit him.

[NewHendoLib]

As usual, I wake up early, grab my coffee and peruse the news - first on DU, then a few sites (such as CNN.com, TPM, Slate, NYT).

Click CNN - there the orange monster is pictured - big splashy headline.

What comes to mind - how the hell can the BIG Lie be allowed to embed and perpetuate? It completely rocks the foundation of decency - and reality.

Second - the media is clearly so, so conflicted. No matter what they may feel about the orange asshole, he delivers lots of drama and clicks and eyeballs. Have we ever had nearly half of the country be so totally batshit crazy?

Oh yeah - good morning, DU. I am going for a hike with my wife and dogs to listen to birds and view wildflowers.

And...fuck McConnell.

1. M$M thanks they will be around in kind if Republicans get back power

MDM continues in their mind for sanity sake to think there is some banality in what Republicans are doing now with denying people's votes.

4. You didn't mention what the story was, so I can't judge if its newsworthy...

2. It's all about revenue from ratings

In 2016 he had four times the coverage of Hillary because people gravitate to train wrecks. Consequently, we had a train wreck government that had a Republican minority dictating to the majority. Reagan's veto of the Fairness Doctrine ushered in Rash Limbaugh and Pox News that encouraged the poorly educated, easily frightened and ignorant voters to cast ballots against their own best interests.
The media manipulation enabled by Reagan successfully decimated the middle class in favor of a two tiered feudal system of lords and serfs to benefit the bribing class.

3. I Posted This Yesterday......

I'm convinced that it is the MSM that is propping up both Tr**p and the nig lie.

They can't get Tr**p out of their system. They have to keep him in the limelight somehow - and every time they talk about him; show his picture or feature his cult followers - they prop him up.

As long as the MSM keeps propping him up - the Repug Party will think of him as their Party leader and continue to cower in his shadow.

Out of sight - out of mind. That's what needs to be done.

Quit talking about him about not being on social media. Don't highlight his press releases. All these things do is provide him with some semblance of credibility.

Tr**p is old news.

Focus on the positive that is going on in this country and what can be accomplished without this total loser being in the picture.

5. " Oh yeah - good morning, DU. I am going for a hike with my wife and dogs"

Looks like someone can’t quit DU for a hike! Lol

[KS Toronado]

14. I'm thinking the gentleman likes to be current on all the latest news

so when they encounter reQublicans on their walks, they'll have the upper hand.

[NewHendoLib]

23. Did I say I want to NOT read DU in the morning for news?

I don't just wake up, get in the car and drive. Some have their TV, some their radio, some newspapers - I have DU.

But thanks for playing.

6. What the MSM is doing is dangerous,

giving voice to anti-democratic insurrectionists. Until the MSM starts calling them what they are our democracy is in grave danger.

[AllaN01Bear]

7. to the former guy, just go away.

[FakeNoose]

8. The media will learn that they CAN quit him

All we need to do is turn our TV sets off whenever they show him and give him free airtime.
Click! all across the country, and they will figure it out real quick.

[FailureToCommunicate]

9. At least social media interaction downward trend is encouraging...

10. Lets face it, neither can DU.

Leave him out of DU and never give him the energy he doesn't deserve, he should be placed as a real bad memory, and nothing else, we can talk about him when he gets indicted and when we see him walk around in an orange suit, but in the mean time, why repeat any of the stupidity he continues to spew? Its all irrelevant.

[Treefrog]

18. Half a dozen threads about him almost every day.

Apparently he really had some fans here.

[marieo1]

11. Right On

I totally agree with you...........media will not get off DJT ..........I am so sick and tired of seeing his ugly face and hearing the media perpetuate his lies, we are bombarded with DJT continually. Makes me vomit!!

[Rebl2]

12. You say it

delivers lots of clicks? I click to another channel if they start talking about orange thingy. Now I will click out of this response

[Dawgman49]

13. I'm fed up..cnn

Just referred to “President trump” ....then in their conversation referred to “Joe Biden”
I’m starting to question their credibility...they can’t let go

[BradBo]

15. It like watching a train wreck.

Trump and all the MAGAs and most the republicans are a slow mouthing train wreck.
Gulliani, Barr, Arizona and Trump.... just a slow motion train wreck. Can’t turn away.

[ChrisF1961]

16. Biden is boring

Trump is far more entertaining. He's the Inspector Clouseau of Presidents.

[Treefrog]

19. I don't find Biden boring at all.

Maybe you’re not keeping up with all he’s accomplished in his first few months?

[ChrisF1961]

20. It was a joke.

[Hekate]

24. You need to use the sarcasm thingy next time you tell that joke

Someone might misunderstand

Above the “message text” box, click on “smilies” — at the bottom of that block, click on . . . (dot dot dot)
In the new block, the first smilie is Tap on that and it will appear in your text.
Or, you can simply type colon sarcasm colon with no spaces between any of the characters, for the same result.

Welcome to DU, where nobody can tell your tone of voice unless you let them know visually.

[ChrisF1961]

25. Thanks

Thought the Inspector Clouseau reference would make it fairly obvious.

[BobTheSubgenius]

17. And a good morning to you.

Yes, it is as bizarre as it is vexing. Enjoy your hike, your wife and dogs, and all the birds and wildflowers. Get away from the madness for a while.

Similar to my plan.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

21. Neither can DU.

[NewHendoLib]

22. I have "his" name trashed, so thankfully don't see lots of those posts
