Fair enough, but what if you think CNN should cancel her show just because it's a food fight dressed up as political debate?

I’m also sick of discussing Trump’s madness. But we have to latimes.com/politics/story/2…

Can we get 500 retweets today on this video of Kamala Harris saying that Donald Trump is too weak and unstable to lead America?

'Joker: Folie à Deux' bombed, joining the 'bad sequel' club. But many of these 'losers' have developed cult followings. Here are some of my favorites latimes.com/entertainment-ar…

I know I’m a weird messenger to be giving advice, but I truly mean this to be helpful, @JDVance. Fire your whole team. They clearly hate you. This is TV production 101, and they failed it. 1) Someone is supposed to scout ahead and make sure everyone there is interested in being on camera AND excited to talk to you. And if your team finds out that no one at the place is interested in talking to you and some don’t even want to be on camera with you - situations that I’m sure you are used to by now - then your team needs to find another establishment. 2) Someone is supposed to prep you with names and talking points. This is especially true because, as you know, you are horrible at small talk. Your team must even know this by now. Your team has to give you follow up questions so you are ready to go. “What is your bestselling donut?” “What’s your favorite?” “What do you recommend?” “What’s your favorite part of your job?” “Do you eat too many donuts because you work here.” This is simple stuff. But again, I get that it is extremely hard for you to speak to humans. That’s why you need a better team. 3) in lieu of small talk, which I would recommend you skipping because you are - again - HORRIBLE at it, your team should have given you a pre decided order so you were ready for the “difficult task” of ordering donuts. Here are a few suggestions for next time. “I’ll take a dozen glazed.” “Just give me a dozen of your bestsellers.” “JUST FILL THE BOX WITH SPRINKLES THAT YOU SCRAP OFF OF SPRINKLE DONUTS, AAAAAARGH!!!” That last one was a trick. If you believed it then you need more help than I even imagined. The good news is I’ll happily take you on as a client to teach you how to appear more human, all for the price of one jabilliondee dollar bucks. Currently, there is a 1% discount. But I need your answer by… more

I fear it’s only a matter of time before the MAGA faithful start chanting”WE’RE NOT GOING BLACK!”

If you watch one thing today, please make it this from @Lawrence. I implore you. Absolute fire. 🔥

How the hell does NBC miss showing the historic podium shot of the Women’s Gymnastics Floor Exercise Final?? Three Black medalists! Unforgivable!!

I agree with Joy Reid 5000% and I’m so glad she said it because I was hella disappointed by some of the folks I saw who defended the NABJ’s decision.
