Driving the Numbers Down

I don't usually cover the Emmys. But this is too good to pass up. The whole three hour show was devoted to a "Trump Hate-Fest" that helped their numbers achieve a record for the least number of people watching. Not much, but just a smidge less than last year, which was CONSIDERABLY the lowest at the time. The only bright spot was the appearance of Trump's first press secretary, Sean Spicer. One wonders how this known conservative got that gig. I expect it was Hollywood's attempt to make it look like Trump was a clown, just an entertainer--and that Spicer was the same. Except that he actually made some telling points in OPPOSITION to the anti-Trump theme of the entire show. Maybe I could say, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do." They don't. They just don't understand that the mood of the country is NOT the mood they present, which is being translated into their lower numbers, which is affecting their pocketbooks, and it's beginning to be noticed by all and sundry--but they still don't realize why. They don't have the intelligence. (The Atlantic)
