Does anyone know how Faux news is reporting on

all of the Donald Trump bullshit? I can't handle watching it for myself, and wondered if any DUers are braver than I am and might be kind enough to give a brief synopsis.

My sister and her husband are right wingers and Faux is all they watch, and I'm wondering what they are seeing & hearing.

Thanks in advance!

questioning look on his face. He stated something to the effect of what if Barack Obama had taken a post-election tour? He thought trump was being ridiculous..

Things are pretty serious, wonder if they intend to just laugh it off.

It was awesome. I loved seeing him do it. He was so happy as was I when I saw him. He deserved it. Trump doesn't deserve a trip because he's making it basically an extended campaign.

ALL of mainstream news are falling all over themselves to stay in the good graces of the Lunatic-elect! Oh sure, there are a few articles here and there, and lots of op eds, but they only care about the insane amount of money they are making from the Gerry Springer model of drama-as-news.

Take for example, the Thank You arena-sized "victory" tour Trump just held in Cincinnati OH, reported by the NYT to have been a monumental affair, stuffed to the rafters with adoring fans. That was until a few credentialed press people from the Guardian, the Daily Telegraph and other reality-based foreign newspapers snapped photos of a less than half-filled venue with large blocks of empty seats and posting them to Twitter. So, in reality, the event turned out to be a YUGE, Trump-sized disaster that anyone relying only on American news organizations for all their news consumption might have otherwise never known the truth!

why most of those in the media aren't as scared as we are. It's their country and their planet too. I'm sure they have kids.
