When will the media stop reporting on MAGAt outrage?

It's all MAGAts do, stay in a constant state of pissed off, angry, and aggrieved. It isn't news anymore.

How many different ways can you say "MAGAts are angry" and make it fresh and relevant?
It's like watching a bad comedy. There is only one way to say "this isn't funny."

MAGAts are pissed at something. Who cares? It will be news when they aren't pissed at something. . .usually something not white, not male, not Christian, not conservative, and completely fictional (like Murphy Brown, Tinky Winky, or the fact that in the live action version of The Little Mermaid, Ariel was. . .(gasp). . .black.

Black Santa. Muslim wearing a hajib after winning a beauty pageant. Obama and his tan suit. The not real War on Christmas.

How many people are sick of the near daily news article detailing how pissed at this county MAGAts are?

We need to stop having 1960s expectations of 2020s conglomerates.

I don't take seriously the media in this country that are little more than an unpaid PR firm for the Republican Party.

“Keep in mind, the news media are not independent; they are a sort of bulletin board and public relations firm for the ruling class - the people who run things. Those who decide what news you will or will not hear are paid by, and tolerated purely at the whim of, those who hold economic power. If the parent corporation doesn't want you to know something, it won't be on the news. Period. Or, at the very least, it will be slanted to suit them, and then rarely followed up.”

but I would describe them as PAID pr firms. They are their employees, after all.

I'm sure CNN and CBS are calling all small town racists to small town diners to be interviewed right now.

Yet the media never cares about that. Why is that I wonder?

I see no end to the catering toward these cretins by corporate media.
