Media Bias: If you rely on the nation's top news sites to determine what was really important about the Trump-Putin Helsinki summit, the answer would be: How did Trump-hating late-night talk-show hosts react? We are not kidding. This is how low the mainstream press has sunk.
On the front page of the Washington Post's website this morning was a picture of "The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert and this headline: "Late-night hosts skewer Trump."

That is a talking point insult for us to use.
He can't tell a joke from reality, he gets all his information from comedy shows.
Entertainment has been treated as “news” for quite some time. The local NBC news here in Houston reports on results from “The Voice” as if its actually news to hear who advances. Pretty sad.
The left is always at a teenage mind level.
“The left is always at a teenage mind level.”
Actually that would be an insult to teenagers of long ago, it may fit the current crop though.
The problem is young people treat late night comedy as actual news. And they vote.
I turned 18 in October of 1980; asked my father for whom I should vote. He said, without hesitation, Ronald Reagan. So I did.
Reminds me of that scene in It’s a Wonderful Life...ask Dad...He always knows...
Agree
Like Bono was sang, when he was still sane:
