    Here's the Cillizza piece O'Brien refers to.

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/06/poli...030618trump-reality-show-analysis0942PMVODtop

    I'm not able to excerpt from it because whenever I go to another tab, this reply space is blank when I come back.

    The only objection I have to Cillizza's piece is that huge swaths of the "news" business are aiding and abetting this White House As Reality TV thing. Including O'Brien's employers, and maybe even herself, though I'm in no position to say.

    I'm with Chris. I don't get her objection. I mean, maybe she has a good one, but just saying everything about the story is terrible is Trumplike.

    It would be great if more Democrats took this attitude.

    I think Jonathan Alter's been reading my posts because last week sounding plain worn out he said on MSNBC "Donald Trump is just a despicable human being"

    Jerry is in the fortunate position where he doesn't have to give a ********. The only thing that plays worse than an arrogant New Yorker in California, is an arrogant New Yorker Klansman. The people have the governor's back on this one.

    I'm NOT with Chris. He blithely critiques this disastrous administration with the same eye as he would a season of The Apprentice or Big Brother. Bad takes like his don't belong in a CNN Politics section.

    We're speaking about different things. I don't read the guy, don't care about him. I am saying, when somebody comes and just says "that column is terrible," as Soledad O'Brien did, I am deeply unimpressed. If that is all you have to offer, don't bother showing up.

    As for the column itself, eh ... unobjectionable. The Trump White House is like a reality show. Well yeah, it is. I didn't need a column to tell me that, but I can't argue with that, either.

    I think it's the Book of Prostate that says "A pill the hue of the heavens shall permit men of many decades to lie down with harlots"

    It's glib clickbait, and it treats all of this as nothing more than particularly entertaining inside-the-beltway drama.

    Cillizza is a particularly terrible pundit. His twitter profile implicitly brags about what a troll he is. Our public discourse is the worse for having mediocre white men like him holding positions of opinion-shaping authority.

    p
    That's fair, but she's been a pretty consistent and insightful critic on Twitter for a while now. And as a former CNN employee, it's understandable she takes umbrage at seeing someone like Cillizza getting so much airtime.

    But it really ISN'T like a reality show. Those are scripted and controlled.The drama queens at the center are being staged by the producers to make entertainment. This is a case where the TV crew, production company, and network are all at the mercy of the narcissistic diva on camera.
