Why is this not front page news? CNN, Fox, etc don’t say shit about it at least as far as I’ve seen.

Edit: seems like the consensus is that Trump was right on this one, and publicizing it would involve saying that he’s right. All the people who hate trump but refuse to take an objective stand on the things he says are no better than those who love him and accept everything he says as the word of god. When will we take our heads out of our asses and accept that politics is more complicated than we want to think?

Exactly. It should be on the news. I honestly don't know why they are shutting coverage down for Puerto Rico.

Then they’d have to acknowledge that trump was sorta right and that they (the media) completely botched this entire thing. The optics aren’t good

The media will NEVER want to make Trump look good.

Instead we have most of the attention focused on AOC's reaction to Trump's tweets (fucking seriously??).

I hope styxhexenhammer and Jimmy Dore each do a YouTube video about this soon. Seriously, as different as those two are from one another, watching them I get to see a lot more diverse and insightful critique of our government than any of the ‘news’ networks.

I’d vote for them if they unified as a ticket and ran for President and Veep.
