Can't wait for Nov 8 when I can tell MSNBC and CNN to go Fuck themselves.

I record both channels on my DVD each day, and switch back and forth between channels. Today being a typical day, I've had 3 Trump rallies interupt programming for the same bullshit which he previously expressed at an earlier rally. Yesterday the same thing, but they interrupted a Clinton rally to run Trump's rally. When they aren't running his rallies, they are running his lying surrogates.

Every show, Chris Matthews feels the need to make the same propaganda speech on behalf of Trump singing his praises that he (Trump) alone has the right message which resonates with the electorate i.e. Stupid Wars, Stupid Trade Deals, and Failure to secure our boarders, if only Trump will stay on message. Today I'm certain those three things will come up at some point in the show because it always does.

I am a political junkie so this is not the week to go silent. Also, I am watching a newborn grandbaby who sleeps most of the day, so I need some adult interaction. But Wednesday Nov 9 will eventually be here.

I hope President Obama fires Comey on Wednesday Nov 9 regardless of the election results. I already wrote him a speech for the firing in a previous post. (see below) I will be very disappointed if he doesn't. Comey violated the Hatch Act and threw this election into chaos. His actions cannot go unanswered or we will never have another normal election again and chaos will rule.

If he doesn't I'll have to find another hobby because this kind of dirty politics is not good for the blood pressure or the heart.

hear their treasonous pontificating! The media are reprehensible. What I simply can't understand is why really wealthy liberals don't buy a network?!?!?!? I guess there's a whole lot more to it. I don't know how I'll express my disgust, but I will.

and they aren't, there's always a newspaper subscription. Or the PBS News Hour. Or, as someone suggested, the BBC. Actually, I think that all of us could swear off cable "news" and it wouldn't have much effect. Making a list of all their advertisers and writing every one of them might have more effect. But the letter couldn't be partisan. It would have to contain actual examples of their unfairness and bias. And we couldn't forget Faux "news" advertisers.

It might be a good thread if we began listing advertisers and items to include in the letter.

They ain't doing any Democrats any favors now so - fuck them. You can get more reliable and less frantic information from other sources...

Print media and their internet outlets are doing a good job.
