A view from the outside: I don't often see cable "news".

From DU and other sites, I recognize names/personalities, and of course have seen Rachel Maddow, the Toad, etc. from videos. Watched the debate with friends. What an eye-opener it is to see the drivel that passes for journalism: Tweety interviewing KellyAnne Conway. Hello? She is a master of fast-talking blather and he's an ass. She reminds me of Ann Coulter, but less hostile. Nicole somebody -- please. Rachel makes good points, and Brian Williams is invisible except for introductions. I had never seen or heard Joy Reid. Get that woman front and center. Nailed it!

When forced to see Faux Snooze in public, it's screaming voices and look-alike women.

It's no wonder Trump is at the head of the ticket. Look at what public information has descended to!

Or rather, I read them. David Corn, George Will, Kevin Drum, etc. Much more content rich and worthwhile. Robert Reich is good too.
