Hang on a sec. You're telling me the TV news media is full of shit? NO WAY.

This Just In; Water Remains Wet.

Turn the fucking thing off. "The fucking thing" being the TV news mess.

I'm watching the end of the football game, and then writing a very very very happy article about what I witnessed tonight.

Don't subject yourself to it. You know what you're going to get.

The truth of what happened tonight will out. It was just too clear to avoid or water down.

But then I don't have TV....I watched it on C-Span streaming.
So I can only imagine the spinning that's going on...But already I know that the far right will say Ryan won clearly and that Biden was an old SOB and nasty as could be...and so the MSM will call it a draw and say that Ryan did well for a first time...
Anyone watching TV can correct me if I am wrong.

~~demands~~ expectations that they've touted to the electorate like gospel, they will lose their audience permanently.

People will not listen to them ever again. They'll be referred to for pictures and film and info-tainment, but social media will determine what is "news" and what isn't, and no one will buy the pronouncements of the talking heads, not even for a moment. Their gaffes of this year will be dragged out, dusted off and mocked any time they try to tell us what to think.

The most popular radio program in the country is Rush Limbaugh's.

When you can tell me why this country has to have those 2 things, then I might entertain discussing with you what has happened to the news media in this country over the last 25 years.
