#FakeNews

Just to be clear: anyone (coughdonaldtrumpcough) who refers to CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, etc. as FAKE NEWS is a complete fucking idiot. I'm talking about not enough brainpower to make a night light twitch. Okay? Okay.

So . . . I tuned in to CNN to see what they had to say about Sean Spicer's resignation.

Now, just to be clear: I am not a Sean Spicer fan. His ignorant statements, his nearly constant and largely unmotivated belligerence, his willingness to say incredibly stupid things to defend Trumpin . . . .  No, not a fan.

HOWever.

Not only did CNN feel the need to mark his resignation by playing a series of clips of his stupidest moments, they also played bits of Melissa McCarthy mocking Sean Spicer.

And just to be clear: I think Melissa McCarthy's portrayal of Sean Spicer is (was) hilarious.

But it's not news.

So CNN . . . for fuck's sake, children. Grow the fuck up.

And while I'm on this . . . 

Not long ago I saw a movie in which several CNN people showed up as themselves in the positions as newspeople. I don't even remember which movie, but it doesn't matter. Seeing a newsperson as themselves in a non-non-fiction movie is not a good thing. It contributes to the impression that they are just playing a part. That they are not reliable as purveyors of the truth. That they are, in fact, fake motherfuckers. 

So knock that shit off too.

You have been warned, CNN.

We've got a wolf in The White House, for fuck's sake. Let's not leave any raw meat lying about.
