The NYT is desperately to be part of the cool kids crowd, much like long-time reader and fan of the paper, Donald Trump.

The same loving thing that happened during the Bush administration. The media is desperate to promote the idea that everything is not just normal, but is actually great, no matter what evidence there is to the contrary. "Oh, you want to invade Iraq for no reason based on no evidence? That's cool, go ahead. Support our troops lol"

Yeah, seriously, just checked CNN. There is barely any mention of how everything he said was a lie and it was still the same old bigotry as before.

Again, what exactly is wrong with a liberal celebrity who at the very least, has good intentions, but not be particularly equipped to deal with governance? It's better than this shitshow. It'd be better than a "normal" Republican too.

Donald Trump gave a speech that was grammatically correct, didn't veer off on any tangents about election results or Hillary Clinton, and even addressed the anti-semitism problem he's been dodging. Let's face it, President Trump cleared the lowest of hurdles and by most metrics it will be a success for him...

Until he signs a new EO that allows natural gas company executives to piss in your water supply after they frack it, then we're back to where we were yesterday.

This will keep going around and around in circles for the next 8 years.

i get this is mostly sarcasm but is this referring to something other than the line about how he ~~~condemns all hate~~~ at the very front of the speech? am i alone in hearing that as yet another gross erasure thing, because uhhh

Yeah, and while she has some promoted some awful things on her show (anti-vaccination poo poo), I think she overall has decent intentions. We're long past the point of being picky and she'd be fine. I honestly don't care as long as it's not a Nazi Russian.

im not even sure day crew could answer that one

quote:

The most commonly cited Nielsen results are reported in two measurements: ratings points and share, usually reported as: "ratings points/share". As of 2013, there were an estimated 115.6 million television households in the United States, up 1.2% from the previous year because of the inclusion of televisions that receive content over the Internet. A single national ratings point represents 1% of the total number, or 1,156,000 households for the 2013–14 season.[3] Nielsen re-estimates the number of television-equipped households each August for the upcoming television season.

Share is the percentage of television sets in use that are tuned to the program. For example, Nielsen may report a show as receiving a 9.2/15 during its broadcast; this would mean that out of all television-equipped households, 9.2% were tuned in to that program, and out of all television-equipped households with a television currently in use, 15% were tuned in to that program.[4]

Percentage of viewing population he says TVIV-ishly

But of course that doesn't mean anything Better Off Ted for one thing
