I remember back when White House talked about banning FOX from press conferences all the main stream media rushed to their defense crying foul! So Trump has been banning media left and right and no one says a word?

Howard Kurtz used to be the referee on the media at CNN. He wasn’t any good at it there either.

This is so much BS from a has been and a never will be.

Looks like the Drumpf’s on the road to implosion. He is so thin-skinned that he has to BAN a major media operation from his presence? Wow, just WOW!

I watched both Clinton’s and Trump’s speeches yesterday, and found a bit of solace in both. Clinton was substantive and informative, steady, calm, while Trump – despite the teleprompters – wandered about, lost track and contradicted himself repeatedly. He was also and visibly uncomfortable on getting timid applause and started reading fast when there was no applause at all. The guy can’t help himself: he’s a victim of his own temperament.

After two days of being practically glued to CNN (too chicken to watch Fox), I feel pity (well, not really, it’s more like a perverse form of glee) for the Radicalised Christian Fundamentalists (RFCs) as they struggle to express solidarity with the LGBT community. Some politicans can’t even say LGBT without dropping their voice and Trump got it wrong both times he tried. The usual evangelical opinion leaders are avoiding the spotlight as they try to choose between two objects of hatred.

Off-topic: Apart from the fact that a ban on a religion would be un-Constitutional, I wonder if Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims might not be applicable to him, personally. After all, Germany/ Prussia was a serious factor of disturbance in Europe for several centuries leading up to the two World Wars when posters all over the USA warned people about the “fifth column”. Applying Trump’s own logic, Germans should have been banned from entry into the US and those already in the country (including all their children) should be sent back to Germany.

If it’s his campaign bus or campaign plane, I would think he could and would. But a more public venue, he will have to suffer the slings and arrows of the fifth estate.

Is he able to do that?

I wonder if the major news outlets are gonna peel off 1 by 1 til November, leaving only a skinny bare naked Faux the only one fit to cover the Donald.

The Donkey Hotey graphic is weird but good. Fitting.
