She's right.
So hateful speech brings a really interested, angry audience, she noted. This is genius! We should do this more often. What shall we do when this election is over? Were going to have to think about ways to really rile people up, make them angry and divide them.
Because that is something that cable news, frankly, and everybody can cover really well, OBrien lamented. So, I find it very frustrating. I believe he was over-covered at the beginning.
Now, it is he said, she said all the time. We have lost context. We actually dont even cover the details of something. We just cover the back and forth of it. Its funny to watch if it werent our own country and our own government actually operating.
Watch the video below from CNN, broadcast Sept. 4, 2016.
