The Storm Blew Over

Politics


Looks like CBS' "60 Minutes" drew 22 million viewers on Sunday night with Anderson Cooper's much anticipated interview segment with President Donald Trump accuser, Stormy Daniels (Stephanie Clifford). It was 60 Mintues' best ratings since 2008. Daniels also bested Donald Trump's 2016 interview by 2 million viewers.

Well, we're happy somebody made out (no pun intended), because we felt robbed in the department of delivery. Some in the media are saying the run up to the interview was over-hyped, (namely by Daniels' attorney Michael Avenatti) and that the resulting edited broadcast under delivered.

However, media outlets are claiming Daniels did offer new details. We were left underwhelmed, but convinced of her veracity. As of today Michael Avenatti teased "there's more to come".  The White House for its part says, Trump continues to deny the alleged affair. That's weird because we thought Trump joined a lawsuit to move Daniels' case to federal court.

Politics Becoming Popular Spectator Sport

Image
Politics TCC started down this road with a post yesterday, Funny Response to Trump Tweetstorm , that was a GIFF poking fun at White House press secretary Sean Spicer's response to President Trump's cell phone usage to tweet. Politics seems to be a uniting force, both pro and against Trump, on social media and in everyday conversations with Americans commenting, "Did you hear..." "How about..."  "Can you believe...." Stephen Colbert , host of CBS ' "Late Night with Stephen Colbert",  has moved from 2nd place to 1st since the inauguration of Trump. Other late-night hosts are also experiencing a boost in ratings as it appears Americans are using these vehicles as either proof of political views (confirmation or conspiracy) or just as a coping mechanism. Each day Trump seems provide new fodder for late-night television hosts to sink their teeth into.  clipartfox.com

Looks Like Kerry Washington Couldn't Fix SNL

Image
Reviews for Kerry Washington's appearance on SNL , considering Saturday Night Live was dealing with a very public issue concerning the lack of black females on the show, seems to have focused the diversity problem (like a laser) on the writing staff as well. Could diversity among the writing staff be the issue, too?
