Clay Travis, Boobs and CNN

Did they, or did they just state the facts?

 

My take: It's much easier to over-react or show off our outrage about Travis, Jemele Hill, Trump tweets, etc. than it is to debate real issues and solve real problems.

Discussing the president's proposed corporate tax rate cut or the thorny issue of immigration doesn't work too well on Twitter (or on SJ.com!!!)

 

TV talking heads have so many hours to fill, and you wind up with shows like this where one network reporter/journalist/on air talent brings in someone from another network to interview them for their OPINION, not facts, opinions. It's lazy TV programming. Surprised shit like this doesn't happen more often.

Do interviews like this one really advance a story? Or do they just take up time and become, in some cases like this, a story unto themselves?

Meh. I hate TV. I was away 9 weeks, and didn't turn on a TV the whole time. Did not miss it!

 

It does happen all the time. Sometimes, YF just can't post tweets fast enough.

 

Clay Travis is going to say whatever he wants to say no matter who's in the White House. The discussion of Trump gave him the sort of opportunity he craves to make waves, but he'd look for these opportunities regardless of power structure.

 

They did both. What struck me about the statement was its length.

 

So this is all Trump's fault? That's rich.

 

Unless its on that bashes Hilliary, or gives him the opportunity to do so. Those move to the head of the class.

 

Wait, you mean if Hillary had won, CNN would still invite Clay to speak about Jemele tweeting about Trump being a white supremacist?
I'm guessing if Hillary had won, Jemele wouldn't be tweeting about Trump and Clay would be onto another look-at-me crusade.
But my logic could be faulty.

 

Oh, he might have been on CNN for any number of reasons.

And, Jamele Hill might have found any number of reasons to tweet about race and politics, in such a manner, that it would have garnered a lot of attention.

It's not like Trump would have just gone away had he lost, either. He would have been firing off tweets and getting called a racist even if he had lost.

 

Perhaps it's bc I quit Twitter in the spring, but I had no idea Travis was no longer with Fox sports. They seemed like a match for the ages

 

Nobody would give a shit about him if he lost. Alas he's the leader of the free world, thus, people get stressed about a complete moron leading the free world.
