24. I stopped watching

Nov 27

CNN when most of the talent started to cozy up to the crazy of MAGA and Fat Donnie. I'm doing the same thing now with Morning Joe. Those two are willing to suck at the orange sphincter to save their asses. I'm still watching the others until they also fold for their own preservation.
