The stupidity of the 24-hour infotainment industry knows no bottom when it's hijacked by malevolent right-wing propagandists like murdoch and limbaugh ten years ago, journalistic integrity and professionalism non-existent.
Fabricating fake outrage like mustard on a Five Guys burger, or saluting with a coffee in one hand while walking on the tarmac towards Air Force One, injecting brazen knee-jerk "rah rah my team or nothing" right-wing propaganda bullshit into public discourse, with the explicit intent to distort reality, with no shame nor dignity.
...and there go the other competing "news" franchises mindlessly parroting and amplifying the idiocy.
"People want to know!"
"Some people say!"
"People are talking about, talking about, talking about!"
Whoever these people are, they only talk about this idiocy because they are force-fed this excrement.
You should read the full article. There is a reason they used "scandal" in the title.
Your comment made me do and do just that.
I didn't read anything that, to me, explained the scandal aspect.
Could you please share which bit it was that did for you?
All the people talking about it ref3rred to it as a "scandal". Some were describing how the repiblicans treated it like a giant scandal, and others refering to it sarcastically for the nonsense it actually was.
Based on the choices of responses to include, its to add on to a more popular trending word.
Ah right, I did read that, but dismissed it as nonsense... and figured I'd missed something of most substance.
TY!
Pffft, substance from an article these days? One can hope :)
NP!
