I just switched to CNN for the first time today. The message is "Pelosi scrambles for votes after...

...Dem losses on Tuesday"

WTF? What are these "Dem losses" they're talking about? As far as I know the only loss was by Terry McAuliffe. Did I miss something?

So it's back to "The Big Bang Theory" for me, it's the Professor Proton episode.

The White House correspondent was doing the "Dems in Dissaray!!" thing so I turned it off. Looks like they're trying to become Fox Lite, ugh

....Fredricka Whitfield, Erin Burnett (the one I switched to for a few seconds), and others.

But yes, in the last 6 months they've really changed a lot. Even my late night go-to, Don Lemon, has changed a lot.

Here was a time when we heard there was late breaking news and the first words out of our mouths were “Quick! Turn on CNN!” Not anymore, never anymore.

... and I watch them the next morning. Things are so much better and less upsetting when you watch them the next day.

Other than that I've been staying off the political news programs, although I try to catch the local 6 o'clock news. That leaves me free to watch my hockey games, favorite sitcoms and movies that I really enjoy.

I’ve seen her. She’s usually smooth and informed but had a hard time answering his questions about how it looks that Dems are fighting each other instead of the opposition party. Her answers were lame, which was surprising for her.

I watched her because it’s about time these questions get answered.

But we’re back to movie watching now. A Hercules movie.
