Trump TV? Give me a break

I am a conservative but I like to believe I am not a brainwashed conservative. I feel like today that people are so politically brainwashed that if they are on the left, they automatically hate anything that is done by the right, and vice versa. This happens without these people even investigating what they are "outraged" about and I find this endlessly annoying to the point where I tell my friends, even the conservative ones, to leave the politics at the door if they want to hang out with me. Talk about literally anything else ok?

When I saw the story pop up about the White House unveiling "Trump TV" I at first thought it was a Babylon Bee or Onion (is that still a thing?) article and read it with a grin on my face. My grin disappeared once I realized that it wasn't a joke. This is something they are really going to do, or maybe have already started doing.

I'm not going to be watching it, I'll tell you that much.

The official reason for this is said to be that since the MSM cannot be trusted, that the White House is going to give it to the people straight from the source. This is in response to CNN MSNBC (now called MS-NOW apparently) and someone else being banned from White House press conferences or something. I honestly don't care because really, are there still people out there that think the media is actually telling the truth?

Truth Social was something I never got on board with, nor do I know anyone that uses it. I would probably think less of them if they did but before anyone starts to think I am on a particular side here I feel the same way about anyone that obsesses over Twitter/ X as well.

Oh, it's also meant to be launching because some news networks are boycotting Trump or refusing to report on anything he says and honestly, I would like to see them do exactly that not because I agree with them, but because I am one of the many millions of people that absolutely hate the media, regardless of what "side" they are on.

Launching Trump TV though, this is just face-palm bad. We already have the Tweets, the "Truths", that Telegrams, the other things that mostly just annoy me, and now we are going to have a Trump specific news channel that dear lord, is meant to run 24-hours a day and feature news from Trump directly as well as something someone referred to as the "greatest hits of Trump."

It would be really amusing to me if it wasn't so sad.

The international news media wasted no time turning this into a "Chicken Little" situation (the sky is falling!) by stating this is "tyranny," a move of an oligarchy, and other such platitudes that have been overused since that man has been in office that the words no longer hold any meaning to me anymore.

To the people out there that are crying themselves to sleep over this I have a solution for you: Don't watch it.

The things people get all worked up about these days is a big part of the reason why a lot of people are simply "checking out" as far as staying up-to-date with current events are concerned.

Trump TV is a dumb idea but then again, so is all other news media. Screw it, go ahead and do it man! Hopefully the left responds by having Obama TV or Rosie TV or something equally stupid.

If you want to attack me go ahead. Tell me how I am wrong. I'm much more willing these days to listen to another person than I am to listen to the talking heads on the TV.
