    The worst is when rich people interview other rich people about their rich person thing (e.g. Ivanka Trump purchasing an island), so that poor people can watch it on television. That level of narcissism and arrogance is just fucking astonishing to me. You can be rich and also just shut the absolute fuck up about it.

      I don’t get it either bit poor people even love to watch this, thinking rich people are still normal people with normal problems… Lets not forget though that rich people are not our main concern. It’s the obscenely rich people that need some obscene defunding.

    Sports coverage is not news; there’s always a sports segment in every ‘news’ program. Entertainment masquerading as news. Kill Rupert Murdoch and his progeny.

    My eyes were practically bleeding while watching some local news coverage at a bar, fairly recently.

    It was literally two geriatric fascists in cowboy hats yelling at each other over the image of a young black man with facial tattoos in an orange prison jumpsuit. The debate was whether the local PD had gone woke and become complicit in street crime or just needed another zillion dollars of additional funding to fight the urban menace.
