From what I've seen post-ABC, the MSMedia seems to be afraid to publish ANY news about Trump, which brings up a major quandary for Cheeto Rivera -- A.) no coverage means he can implement his worst legislation without anyone knowing about it, but B.) the man thrives on attention and is a total media whore. Perhaps he'll just implode under the stress. Look at The View -- issuing real time disclaimers after every commercial break, and SNL and 60 Minutes, all but ignoring Trump. We mocked him for all the winning, but he's the freaking Energizer Bunny on that front.

Last night's Colbert monologue set the tone for what I think is to come for late night. He set-up a Trump joke and then declined to do it, saying he has nothing to say about him. I bet all the post-holiday monologues from here on do not make fun of or criticize Trump at all, ever again.

""Anyone seeking the Senate's consent to serve in the incoming Administration would do well to steer clear of even the appearance of association with such efforts," McConnell said in a statement."

Notice he doesn't say the obvious: Anyone even thinking that removing a proven vaccine is totally unqualified to be confirmed in any post, let alone head of HHS.

He dances around it and still leaves himself a "He dropped the polio vaccine thing so I voted to confirm him" excuse.

"ABC executives aren’t in the business of telling the truth, they are in the business of making money"

It was ABC *News* that was being threatened. So what this should really say is "ABC **NEWS** isn't in the business of telling the truth."
