Irony of ironies. After railing against digital media and people getting their news "free" for the better part of a decade, the tides have once again turned, and traditional media was able to adjust their oversized-creaking wooden surfboard to catch the wave... barely.

I so wanted to throw my remote control at the television today.

This is just a rant with no links. I'm sorry.

So I'm listening to Thom Hartmann's radio show on TuneIn app on my phone between noon and 1 p.m. EDST today. Thom devoted the first hour of allowing callers to call in and thank Bernie Sanders. Each caller was supposed to call with a quick thank you to Bernie, each caller was identified by area code, and they could give their name and location if they wanted to.
