Exploding talking heads

Day after day media snuggles up to snakeshit, then gets all OMG! OMG! when snakeshit turns out to be snakeshit.

The umbrage, my dears, is very nearly comical.

(Context: Trump punked the media BIGLY. It's all over the internet and the teevee.)

getting in a free commercial and using vets to do it is appalling on so many levels.

all i've heard is that he said he'd have a big announcement regarding the birther crap and then he admitted that obama was actually born in the u.s.

i'm thrilled that the media is finally calling him out as "snakeshit", but not following what triggered this.

i love it that he managed to do something to piss off the media he otherwise manipulates so effectively.

he used their own "coming up next! what common thing can kill you at any time! after these messages!" trick.

but it was basically a 30 minute infomercial for his big new hotel in DC, and having a line of vets4trump line up to kiss his ass, with a 30 second sound bite at the end where he said Pres Obama was born in the US and walked off.

I don't give two sh*ts about Donald Trump
But I do believe the press owes us an apology
for helping this hateful clown promote himself.
I'd hoped they were better.

They created this monster and they can deal with it. Ever heard the fable about the frog who lets the scorpion hitch a ride to cross the stream? After the scorpion stings the frog and the frog asks why the scorpion stung him after he provided a ride across the stream, the scorpion replies, "I can't help it. It's in my nature."
