Remember, there’s a reason the TV comes first in TV news. They fund themselves the same way sitcoms do, they sell your eyeballs to advertisers. The goal is NOT to inform or educate, but to get you to stick around through the break. One of the best things you can do in your life is to never, ever, tune to ANY news channel or program ever again. You’ll find life a lot more relaxing, and you’ll be able to use that time to actually be informed.

Oh and taco bowls exist, obviously, but they aren’t Mexican. Neither are chimichangas. Or nachos. Or Cinco de Mayo really, except for the province where the battle happened. And it really wasn’t a very good photo-op for Trump. It just looked goofy, and advertising the restaurant in his building made it all seem pretty disingenuous.

A tempest in a teapot. People need to lighten up. The MSM and the Dems are looking for anything to ridicule and belittle Trump. It didn’t work. Trump did nothing wrong and was having some fun. Not one vote will be affected either way.

Amen. It just can’t end well.

“The goal is NOT to inform or educate, but to get you to stick around through the break.”

I think that the economic incentive is way down the list of priorities for the employees of news shows.

Destroying America will always be at the top of that list. If you set yourself to observe, you should have no problem identifying instance after instance in which economics take a back seat to “the cause.”

In support of that, look at what a poster said earlier in this thread: the market is wide-open for a conservative news source. How much money would such a news outlet make? And yet those billions of dollars lie in the dirt unclaimed.

Why? Why does no one pick up that money? Isn’t it because “the cause” is more important?

And tortillas are not Mexican. When the French invaded Mexico the locals used large leaves as "napkins" to hold things like burrito and taco mixes. The French brought in the crepe pancake and the locals jumped on that as a way to still have their type of food and also eat the "napkin". Less waste and they just called the pancake a tortilla.
