The Lamestream Media- Post your best dumb "journalists" or coverage
I've been commenting in several threads over the last few days about the media who is frothing at the mouth over Trump this/climate change that. All without paying just a few minutes of actual news. When one of the stations finally talked about London for 4 minutes, half of that was some black chick talking about the fear that people are feeling in London right now is the same things that "communities of color" feel in America every day when dealing with whitey. The other channels (minus Fox) were worried to death about Comey testifying, global warming, TRUMPRUSSIATRUMPRUSSIATRUMPRUSSIA, and whatnot.
Today, they had some fine pearls of wisdom. Some douche on CNN was interviewing a Trump cabinet member, and when he would reply said douche would just shout him down, CBS did a great worship piece on Judge Ginsberg, calling her "Swift Justice", NBC got themselves in a tizzy over Trumps disruptive tweets to the mayor of London, and CBS was all Comey all the time.
When someone is as rabidly single focused on a topic as the media is right now with Trump, after 8 years of silence (except for the cheerleading), a reasonable person calls that stalking and would get a restraining order.
Post your best. Be it climate change, TRUMPRUSSIATRUMPRUSSIA, gun control, or whatever stupid media coverage you want.

Voice of the Left and CNN commentator Sally Kohn came out Sunday and said that political correctness and treating terrorists with dignity and respect are the only things that will defeat terrorism.

I suppose everyone has seen this since it was on Drudge, but in case you missed it: CNN gathered a small group of Muslims and staged several photo ops around London purporting to show 'moderate' Muslims out marching in the streets opposing ISIS. The group was either hired and paid or just shuttled around London by CNN to hop out, take pictures/film and then load back up in the van. There were no spontaneous marches against ISIS, which is what they were reporting.

Another reason why I don't own a TV. I don't have Facebook, Twitter or anything like that either. How do I get my news? I don't. This is why. There's no more news on, it's all garbage. Political points of view from people on camera. I have a weather app on my phone and that's about all I need.
I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

I found it interesting that Valerie Jarrett's daughter, who has never worked in "journalism" but was a lawyer in Chicago, is suddenly CNN's lead "reporter" on the Trump bashing beat.
I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm.

MSNBC may be trying to win viewers who were fans of the Gong show.
No offense to those of you who were fans of the Gong show.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

I believe that is true. I also believe that unicorn farts smell just like roses.

Wait, what? Treat terrorists with dignity and respect? I have never heard this Sally Kohn but maybe she should schedule a goodwill visit to Afghanistan/Iraq. I'll help pay for her flight. She can give out free hugs to Isis. See what that gets her. Anyone have her email address? I'll send along this idea.

Point is, no surprise, these people are no smarter than an honors high school student, if that.

I find it bizarre that it's news that President Trump is NOT using executive privilege to block Comey's testifying. But then again, after Obama, maybe that IS news.

Disgusting and stupid at the same time. This whole thread could be just about CNN alone.

Wolf Blitzer got destroyed by comedian Andy Richter in a 2009 episode of Celebrity Jeopardy:
