The Trumpets are there to make you mad, but keep you watching. They are the foils.
It must work, because their rates are up and the Trump cadets never leave. Basically, watching
CNN is for masochists.

That and media consolidation into the hands of just a handful of giant corporations has resulted in a preponderance of media lunacy. So-called "news" coverage is an absolute disgrace, which is one of numerous reasons why Trump is in the White House.
