    This time he draws an Obama appointed judge that has been routinely given more than the recommended amount of time to J6 defendants tried before her. He's fucked.

    White collar criminals don't get handcuffs, bro. They get a bailiff or sheriff's deputy gently holding their arm like they're walking into junior prom.

    Did you guys know Trump has been indicted again?

    I do, because CNN has talked about nothing else for the past hour and a half. I swear to God I’m not even interested in any news at this point, I just wanna see how long they can go on about that and nothing else.

    Unless the sonofabitch ends up in cuffs and led off to jail, this is a huge nothing-burger. And I’m not holding my breath waiting for that to happen.

    I remember back when Wolf Blitzer debuted the Situation Room... your 24x7 news war room... and it initially featured the Poop Cruise™.

    All Poop Cruise, all the time. For DAYS.

    Mainstream media can fuck off and die already.

    Funny story.

    An old coworker of mine was on that cruise and sent me a bunch of pictures she took as soon as it happened. There was one specifically, taken from the top deck by the pool where people had put up towels and such as makeshift shelters from the sun and to get away from the smell.

    I sent that one in to CNN. They ran with it. You likely know the one I'm talking about.

    Sorry.

    (just searched my phone and no longer have the original -- too many phone changes since then I guess. Searched online and there are several of the same basic thing. Hers was taken from forward starboard side facing aft port)

    One hour and 55 minutes. I’ve no doubt they’ll get back to it for the next hour.

    I especially love their polling... major insight around the country's politics thanks to a poll that included 700 people, raising the drama.

    Then come voting results time, "wow, our polls were so wrong!"

    No shit.


    I just turn that crap off and refuse to watch it any more.

    I'm going to go out in a limb and say that the former President being indicted on charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy against rights is a pretty big deal and the news should cover it.

    CNN is an absolute disaster. The only good thing they did in the last few years was fire Don Lemon.

    They should report on it. That doesn't take long.

    The vast majority of what they're doing is a big "what if" circle jerk of non-reporting.

    I agree, they should report on it. But three solid of hours (with the exception of 5 minutes ) of, as @Nettdata so accurately puts it, “‘what if’ circle jerk” is excessive.

    I didnt watch 24 hour news channels all last week, and up until this morning. Time to turn it off again.

    That's just the nature of 24 hour news networks. Gotta fill up the hours somehow. Three hours on something seriously newsworthy is far less egregious than however many weeks they spent on that crashed Malaysian flight.

    I get it, but it's not the only thing going on in the country or world FFS. They were still going when I shut it off a while ago.

    There's the news, which you can communicate in as complex or as simple a way as you like.

    Then there's the gazillion assholes they televise spouting whatever their mouth emits when you remove the profound quantity of dicks they usually keep there.

    I don't want an expert opinion, that's not news.

    In that case I'd recommend watching a 1 hour daily news program like on ABC or PBS or whatever. The 24 hour networks are for junkies and degenerates.

    I’ve learned all I need is NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt. If that.
