Outside of breaking news, cable news feels like an apparatus built to do nothing but facilitate low grade PR.

24 hour news cycle

if they don't wish to report news, and instead prefer to interview people on political topics (i admit, i'm far more likely to tune into the latter), there are tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of political scientists, political commentators and reporters who would have something more interesting to say than - " i don't know, you'd have to ask mr. trump."

Yeah, but they would prob sound super smarty like they are better than the working man.

more on his war on babies.

Quote
In 2000, during a family dispute about the details of his father’s will, Trump, who was by then fabulously wealthy in his own right, cut off benefits from the family health plan that were paying for the medical care of his nephew’s seriously ill young son.

Quote
Trump, for his part, was unapologetic about his actions. “Why should we give him medical coverage?” he told Evans. When she asked him if he thought he might come across as cold-hearted, given the baby’s medical condition, he said, “I can’t help that."

In the immediate aftermath of Monday's presidential debate, Donald Trump had nothing but praise for moderator Lester Holt.

"I thought Lester did a great job," the Republican nominee told CNN, adding that he thought the evening's questions were fair.

By the time he appeared on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday morning, however, Trump had changed his mind: "I'd give him a C, C+. I thought he was fine. Nothing outstanding. I thought he gave me very unfair questions at the end — the last three, four questions."

The media has been very kind to Kellyanne Conway, she says stupid crap on the reg. I realize this is a function of who she is selling/defending, but my god has she skated. Also wtf is Kellyanne? Does she have a brother named Jimparker?

i don't understand why news shows invite these people on when their only role on the program is to respond to questions by lying or refusing to answer.

 :curse: I was listening to a radio interview with Clinton campaign manager.

Q: Name one thing Donald Trump did right last night
A: He was terrible, I was surprised at his lack of preparation, etc.

Now at this point the reporter should have either said "are you deaf" or "are you incapable of comprehending a simple question" or hung up on him. Of course this goes for how reporters should respond to all parties who have been trained to ignore the question and say whatever they want to say.

I want to wake up in a city that never sleeps, etc.

i would love it if they would cut mikes, throw them out, hang up, end interviews etc on these professional liars when they lie and refuse to answer reasonable questions.

"experienced commanders will simply be smeared and will actually go to the meat."

Agreed that it's weird reporters ask trap or hardball questions and then are taken off guard when the interviewee completely ignores them.

I guess if you are a reporter who doesn't take any crap then people will just stop doing your show and then people will stop watching... Debate moderators really don't have an excuse though.

I would def support a cut mic.  I am fine with the two going after each other, but the interrupting bullshit shouldn't be allowed.   I did like that Lester let them exchange so much without moving on.

I change the channel for certain people. Boris Epshteyn, for one, is really awful.

Someone like Kellyanne Conway, on the other hand, is like a Jedi Master who I watch in amazement.

I'm sure the reporter was very happy with that answer.

Okay, a couple of post debate things that Trump is doing some serious bragging about:

1) Trump claims that he received $18M in donations within 24 hours of the debate and
2) while the only two scientific polls show that Clinton handily won the debate, every online poll shows that Trump won the debate.

Is there any way that these things actually happened naturally, without some sort effort to bring them about? I say no way. This has gotta be some 4D chess in action!
