Shame on the media

How telling that the same sanctimonious media celebrities demonizing President Donald Trump as a womanizer, bully and thoughtless manipulator of a vulnerable proletariat, consistently vilify Vice President Mike Pence as a prudish, naive, out-of-touch Boy Scout.

Bent upon creating news rather than reporting facts, they are purveyors of outrageous small talk and cheesy rumor. These truly unprofessional miscreants deserve nothing more than our heartfelt pity.

With the historically unprecedented presence of a U.S. secretary of state in Pyongyang negotiating from a position of real strength to secure peace on the Korean Peninsula, our "esteemed" media obsesses over the newfound celebrity of a porn star seeking fleeting notoriety who will only be summarily discarded once the press exhausts her utility.

Void any semblance of professionalism across an increasingly clueless and viewerless news industry, we'll soon see therapeutic cleansing of this "swamp," a long overdue overhaul of information technology.
