TroutPaste 11/23/19 7:39:52 AM #1:	Was helping a family friend yesterday. She had MSNBC on in the background. They said Donald Trump's name about 500 times in 45 minutes. Might sound like an exaggeration but it could have been 500 times, lmao I mostly read. Skim through comments/message boards. It's hard to listen to the news version. It was like op-eds in video form That being said, he should be impeached.

The Great Muta 22 11/23/19 10:05:08 AM #12:	Cable news is designed to keep the viewer tuned into their network or, at minimum, keep the viewer having the channel on a continuous loop so they can keep generating high ad revenue. And Trump has been the single greatest gift to the news media since like, the war's in Afghanistan and Iraq back in the early 2000s. Hell, making himself a major story across the country and really, the world, is how he was able to gift his way into the White House through the free coverage they gave him in 2015/2016. And thousands of people made A LOT of money covering Trump during that time. It's why him and politics in general have bled over into so many other forms of entertainment and subject matters. --- https://youtu.be/rYy0o-J0x20?t=300 "Thank you, good night.

CNN is biased against Trump, but that's not an ideological thing. Like if he passed all the same bills and stuff, but didn't "insult purple heart recipients" or "said mean things", they wouldn't care. Yeah, it's becoming trendy to oppose Trump just because he's Trump. "Oh, Trump signed an executive order that does something that I've wanted for years now? Well...he didnt do it right!" So, while I dislike Trump, I can see why many are annoyed with the left right now. That said, the right does the exact same shit when a Democrat is in office.
