#1 My puppies prefer Hilarity over the Donald in their morning papers.

#2 This transparent bias is a national phenomenon

A 'phenomenon' to some possibly. To others, a decades long reality.

#3 I read the book, copyrighted in 2002: Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News Paperback

by Bernard Goldberg, One-time Producer to Dan Rather, in the early days.

#4 Wasn't there another book, titled something like "Knob-Gobbling Love Affair"?

#5 Honestly, any deeper in the tank for Hillary, they'd need a deep-sea-divers' helmet and someone pumping them oxygen from a support boat up on the surface.

On the good side - it's so obvious now that the mainstream establishment press is loosing all credibility with ordinary Americans.

#6 CNN is jumping the shark with their anti-Trump reporting. Ya kind of expect it from MSNBC and NBC, but CNN has some kind of derangement going on, the screeching and self righteous indignation weirds people out.

#7 So far in the tank, it is call Flush Valve Reporting.

But they aren't really journalists, and it isn't really reporting, now is it?

If CNN is, then Fox is loathsome. Wife tried watching the other day, said it was some bad combination of Nick Jr. and Bad Girls Club. Rolling their eyes even when saying not-bad things.

I found CNNs RNC coverage better than Fox.

How bad? Well, she finally asked me who this Khan fellow is. Asked me.

Now, love my wife, she is wonderful, but she only wants an outline of the day's events. Lost her with the junior high girls' locker room talk.

Something about 30 minutes of bashing Trump over this fellow, absolutely no info about Khan. "At least Bad Girls Club gives both sides of a fight." She says. (I know, her deal, but ouch)
