Reuters thinks Robert De Niro calling Trump ‘totally nuts’ is worthy of top story status

How the media decides an election

My issue here is with Reuters, not with De Niro. I don’t agree with De Niro, but if he wants to say what he thinks, hey. Knock yourself out, Bobby. You have as much right as me or anyone else. Nor do I care that he did it at an event that was supposed to be all about film awards and not politics. Whatever. It’s on your mind, say it. Be who you are.

The news judgment of Reuters is another matter entirely. I don’t care how much of a A-list star De Niro is. His opinion about Trump is not newsworthy, and it is certainly not worthy of being played as one of the day’s top stories. Yet here we are:

Why should anyone care what De Niro thinks about anything other than movies and acting? Should Reuters be quoting A-rod, or Beonce, or the Sham Wow guy, or Mike Ditka? They would be better off doing a ‘man on the street’ segment.

Never let a second rate actor think for you. BTW he is diminutive. I think he is under 5 feet. He wears elevated shoes to perform his scripts. A political annalist — he is not!! A hacl actor — he is

De Niro began high school at the private McBurney School and later attended the private Rhodes Preparatory School, although he never graduated from either

The Ministry of Propaganda will use whatever they can get their hands on to defeat Trump.

It’s really not about Trump.
It’s about preventing the citizens from reversing 30 years of bipartisan policy of encouraging “migration” from south of the border.
The 30 million illegal aliens we have here was no accident.
They invited those people here and they do not want us to send them home.
Quaint old notions like citizenship and the rule of law must be left in the past.

He was also heavily into nose candy when filming the Deer Hunter in Canada years back

What irks me is that those corksoakers at rooters don’t have the brass to allow feedback on their idiotic stories.

Don't suggest that to Richard Chamberlain. He'll take umbrage. /"Shogun"

(Or maybe I'm remembering the part in the novel with Chamberlain's character)

I’ve seen a few De Niro interviews and my take away was that he really doesn’t know much of anything except perhaps acting in movies. Which as we all know is much easier work than theater, if you can get it.
