Today is wall to wall right wing screech monkey day at the zoo.

There is no refuge from the pulsing beat the right wing drummers drumming on Hillary Clinton. Relentless. No place to turn. No cable news other than how she needs to be punished badly, how unfit she is to be president. How horrible a person she is. How she needs to be in prison.

Oh

My

Gawd

This makes BENGHAZI seem tame.

Is there any place of refuge today?

Just for fun I turned on Fox. Oh my gawd! Only lasted 45 seconds before I had to turn off. MSNBC and CNN are really being right wing hateful.

It's amazing - watching Lyin' Williams , you'd think she was indicted. They don't give a flying fugg that there's no there there, they're running with the meme. One leading asshole who said she would be indicted is now claiming she was convicted without an indictment - and he's a fugging lawyer.

Thom Hartmann, Mark Levin earlier, Leslie Marshall is being better than a sharp stick in the eye, Norman Goldman will be on at 3PM Pacific till 6, then hopefully Rachael will be OK on tv.

edit; dang autocorrect hates names.

Between replaying Comey every 10 minutes and having RW hacks opining in between. MAYBE when Chris Hayes & Rachel come on things will calm down.

It was like a car wreck-I couldn't look away. I kept expecting him to collapse with a stroke. Scary that he has that much hatred in his DNA and so do his supporters.

Netflix, Hulu, Acorn, and Amazon. And if all else fails, my local library. I won't watch any commercial TV until after the election. My blood pressure can't take it.

Particularly cable news, though the networks aren't much better. Only a small percentage of the population watches it anyways, so there's really no need to give it any credence. It's mental poison.

i'm really getting the feeling that an increasing majority of the electorate is sick to death of rightwing fearmongers running rampant and unhinged 24/7 on the newsmedia. it's not going to work well for the Republicans this cycle, and if they keep doing it in 2020 it will work even less for them then.

I haven't seen anything like what you describe.
