Because, what Trump wants is for us to get caught up in the petty [!@#$%^&*], so we're not paying attention while he performs shell games with our civil liberties.

 

Ideally, the media SHOULD report on everything, big and small.  However, there's a lot about TrumpCo., I'm sure, that will need to be covered and won't, because they won't think it's "juicy" enough.

That was an SNL writer. Yet another reason why SNL should be consigned to the dustbin. 

 

There's a reason why people say showbiz is out of touch, and they get more out of touch every year. This is just stupid [!@#$%^&*] that anyone with a brain in their head would avoid. 

 

Some people were also upset about Julie Bowen but all I saw was her saying he was on his Gameboy. Unless there was more I don't think that's a big deal...

CBS This Morning's insistence on showing clips of SNL spoofs and late night comedian's hot takes in place of substantive election coverage is a big reason why they fell out of favor with me.

 

Reading this article Leaders Abroad, Joyful or Wary, Face Uncertainty of Trump Era, I have to admit this this paragraph stood out to me and I could barely suppress a chuckle.

 

“My parents have only been in America for a few months and they don’t know much about it, but even they could not bear what Trump said,” Mr. Zhang wrote. “My father asked me, ‘This president, why does he describe the United States as a society that is worse off than China’s old feudal society?’”

There wasn't.  There was the Gameboy joke, a joke about the expression on his face while watching the festivities ("Barron, a voting majority shares your horror"), another joke about how he looked on as his dad was "bopping his head to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir," and a final one about CNN cutting him out of the frame ("Don't box the Barron," or words to that effect).

 

Many felt outraged and accused Bowen of bullying Barron.  If you ask me, though, at least some of those individuals likely had no issue with calling Chelsea Clinton a "dog" or the Obama girls a "couple of monkeys."
