At Least They Didn’t Arrest Trump’s Mouth.

Maybe I just don’t understand how the media is supposed to report the news, but I always thought that when an outlet like PBS or C-Span lets some politician use their network to make a speech, that the person making the speech had something important to say about a problem or a topic we need to understand because it would make a difference in our lives.

Now, if a politician just wants to let us know that he exists, or that he’s running for this or that political office — fine — let the guy buy all the broadcast time he wants. And at the end of the message, you get the line which says that what you were just watching was approved by so-and-so, which means that so-and-so paid for the time.

But this isn’t what happened last night when Trump walked into the ballroom at Mar-a-Lago and droned on for twenty minutes or so saying the exact, same things he has been saying at every political rally he has held over the past eight years.

I was doing some busywork on my laptop during the first few minutes of Trump’s speech, so I didn’t really pay that much attention to what was going on. Then, all of a sudden, I heard him say something about Hunter Biden’s laptop.

What? PBS is giving Trump a national media platform to talk about Hunter Bien’s laptop? What the f***?
