We had a chance to catch up with editor in chief, Ronnie from The Ronnie Republic and get his thoughts on the recent dust up involving Kathy Griffin and her visual thoughts on donald trump.

Well, it is always a tough decision in these kind of situations but at the end of the day we have to remember we have the privilege of  living here in our great country of The United States and one of the things that makes our values so sought after in comparison to other countries on the world stage is that we do have freedom of speech, in no uncertain terms and that is all there is.

No, I said the same thing when they asked me about Colbert--it boils down to one thing.  We can express our opinions without retribution.  We have the right to think out loud.

Ronnie also feared that in reality much more harm will be done by the literal assault of donald trump on our environment than the promotion of one picture by one lady.

Ronnie felt like the folks are getting fed up with the antics of the donald and we are likely to see more protests with similar sentiment.

When asked if his paper would continue to report on Kathy Griffin and other comedians of the same philosophy Ronnie indicated that he would still be glad to cover this kind of story.  He added that he did not want anyone to think that he did not take things or consequences seriously but he is still driven by his love to tell a story.

Just like reporting on the insanity of bill o'reilly or sean hannity The Ronnie Republic loves to get the word out on all sides.

The Ronnie Republic will even report on our own whining republican, Carl DeMaio.  Not only does this individual suffer from the lack of a sense of humor but he apparently also does not want anyone to have healthcare judged by his rebuke of the facts after an interview yesterday afternoon.  AM radio in San Diego is so ultra conservative,  KOGO made a poor decision in going all Carl and losing Sully.

Just like Jim Carrey, Don Rickles observed that we are lucky to have comedians--sometimes they are the only ones who can really tap into the sentiment of the people.

Don Rickles who has been known for having a sharp tongue has also been one to be truthful yet humorous--not too many of us possess that talent.

Ronnie and Don Rickles have been friends for a long time and he often looks to Don for input on this kind of issue.

Thanks, Ronnie, for taking a few minutes out of your very busy day to give up your take on this giant media issue.

America's Date with The Devil: Is CNN the Maitre d'.......



Listening to news, usually CNN, and troubled about the political coverage.

Recently, on CNN after the Brussels incident presidential historian, Douglas Brinkley said the only two candidates to offer reasuring words and actually have a reasonable plan and sound presidential are Hillary Clinton and John Kasich.  Their panel of experts must have talked about that for at least 30 seconds and then went straight back to talk about Ted Cruz and Donald Trump and their wives fighting via twitter.

The 24 hour cable news stations have fallen for the donald hook line and sinker.  I guess it is ratings and he is a good story given policy can be a little boring.  Donald says something stupid each day and that is all they talk about.

At the end of the day it is really not news and the viewer is the loser.

Also, the other folks running for office cannot really talk in the same Archie Bunker lingo that the donald uses because they have to represet their voters as elected officials and if they said the things donald said they would be thrown out of office for being racist.

Why do they not explain all of that on the news, why politicians talk the way they do and the whole world is listening, etc.

Also, as the field narrowed I wonder why they did not have serious debates on the GOP side.  We know every detail of what Hillary and Bernie think and Kasich or Cruz could have easily held their own in debates--the donald--not so much.

Also, I wonder why donald was not called out as soon as he started talking about rounding people up because that is certainly not the stance of the Republican Party.  He never really went along with the GOP platform.

Why did they have their big study after Mitt Romney lost the last election.

Today, KOGO 600 in San Diego is hosting a panel discussing the media--hopefully some of these questions will be answered.

Really sad to miss this event, Ted Garcia of the morning news who is conducting the panel said it will be on the website of KOGO.

Coincidentally, The Los Angeles World Affairs Council will have an event this evening featuring Karl Rove talking about the same subject.  Always wanting to attend one of these functions hopefully there will be a way to see this discussion at a later date, as well.

Personally, one would like to ask CNN, why are you reporting trump's comments about the way John Kasich eats as opposed to why your are not hosting debates on the GOP side about policy and philosphies of each candidates campaign?  

What is the real reason you are not having informational debates and focusing on spaghetti?

I guess that would not bring in quite as many ratings, but in the end were the pancake statements really newsworthy.

CNN might want to ask themselves these in depth questions.

Perhaps, there should be  a study about what happened to cable news as well as the Republican Party.
