The women's March seems to have emboldened tv producers

I have to assume that since tv is completely about ratings, our marches are driving the TV production decisions to challenge fRump and his first actions.

I can't remember the TV going so completely negative on a president, except for the attacks on Bill Clinton and is impeachment.

I'm looking forward to more gaffes and insults: this time, they'll be coming from potus: making them yuuuuge, in a bigly way. Trust me.

I was astounded by how many young women I met on Saturday. Most of the women were middle class and have money to spend.

that said I am glad the media feels emboldened to stand up to chitler.

I saved the daytime MSNBC shows the day of the March so I can watch it when I get depressed.

They don't REALLY care about the bitter old racists and the skinheads in backwater burgs. They might watch a lot of TV, but they don't BUY anything--at least, not anything that they're selling.

As we were marching in Seattle, one women noted that we were interrupting business-- we then said, ok, we will go and buy. -have a beer here, eat there, shop over there.
