I know I've covered this before but seriously! The only glimmer of hope is that Fox News has stopped live coverage of Trump's Nazi-style rallies due to low ratings. Hopefully this will continue, but I know better than to hope too much.

Just the other night I saw Andrea Mitchell, a TV news reporter with decades of experience covering politics basically say that as long as Trump is president and Trump tweets, the news media will report on it--like it's the only reality possible.

WAS there a time before #Trump?

I honestly have trouble remembering the news and life before Trump. And it's only been 9 months! Imagine how things will feel after 4 years of this shit.

Well, this is pretty topical in that just the other night Meryl Streep said at the Golden Globes that America needs a strong press.  Guess our press has been having trouble for a long time now! :(

This is why I've been listening to Democracy Now for over a decade now.  That isn't where I get ALL my news--no source should be trusted completely--but it is the most reality-based that I've been able to find.

By some sort of error within Blogger, this strip did not post when it should have.  It sat in my queue as a draft for some reason.  Regardless, I am glad it did since it ultimately relied on data that was utterly, completely incomplete and misleading.  If anyone should suffer for what happened on November 8, 2016, it's the polling industry.  They pretended their numbers were somehow accurate and indicative of how Americans would vote and yet it went the other way.

Read on if you want to read my original commentary for this strip.  It's still accurate, but the poll numbers I reference, obviously, weren't.

You know this is true--Clinton is doing very well, despite being disliked by many and Trump is doing insanely well despite being insane.  If Bernie had been covered like Donald and Hillary have been, it's pretty likely that
