Online news is fundamentally different than print. The story order changes throughout the day, as news breaks. If it was a slow news day, this could easily have made it to the top, then pushed down as more sad revelations about this most corrupt of all administrations takes the lead.

CNN also has to compete more directly with Faux "News" for eyeballs. It costs a lot to stay on the air. Faux does it because millions of morons like you love the taste of the puke spewing from insHannity and Fuc*er Carlson.

But, being a right wingnut, you probably aren't up on how things work these days, lol.

Do you think he should have felt uncomfortable or disrespected if, at some point, you had shown up with a "Me Too" pin or button? Or a "Feel the Bern" shirt or hat?
Why should he think a "me too" logo offensive?
We have discussed Bernie, he knows I didn't support his candidacy.
Otherwise, I wouldn't put him in a defensive posture in spite of his tendency to get some of his misinformation from purveyors of conspiracy nonsense, i.e, birtherism, etc.

He is one of two friends, one I've known for decades, that subscribe to racist conspiracy theory nonsense. The discomfort it generates makes things awkward at times, but I try to be the voice of reason that penetrates the echo chamber bubble in which they normally dwell. It's bearable because it is not a constant onslaught to counter in my daily personal life.

Those buttons don't represent bigotry, racism and white nationalism, dimwit.

A speculative report from anonymous sources about something that might happen might be news, but it ain't front page news....
So what? If you don't like it, stay inside your MAGAMedia fantasy world. OTOH, if you actually want to be informed about what's actually going on as the Great Ship Trump hits the iceberg, read the Post and the Times.:rolleyes:

Lost in translation?

Why do I get the feeling Whell would be totally comfortable walking around with a swastika tattoo exposed? At least among his friends (assuming he has any; certainly has none here).

Obama sure looks great in his "44" jacket. TrumPutin, in contrast, will never, ever be remotely cool.

If as in my case, the pic's not displaying for you, here's the objective headline:

THE WITCH HUNT CONTINUES
CAN TRUMP MAKE MUELLER
PUT DOWN THE PITCHFORKS?

Here's a guy exposing fake news to the purveyor Tucker Carlson. Tuck looses his shit completely! And--surprise, surprise--this never made it to air on Fox....
