Looks like someone was jealous of his brother claiming the “Dumbest Trump Child” title by committing all the treason with Russia, so someone went and accused one Ellen Degeneres of being a member of “the Deep State.”
TELL US WHO REALLY KILLED KENNEDY, ELLEN, IT WAS TED CRUZ’S FATHER, WASN’T IT?
Ellen had some thoughts about being accused of being a member of a vast conspiracy, namely that the whole idea of the “Deep State” is crazy as no one has undermined Donald Trump more than Donald Trump. Also, she doesn’t have time for it as her Illuminati meetings takes up too much of her schedule as it is.
That idiot Sean Hannity created a hotline for his haters to yell at him and guess what, the voicemail was full almost immediately. If you’re looking to blow off some steam, the number is 877-225-8587.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and The Daily Show all created For Your Consideration ads for Donald Trump’s upcoming Most Dishonest and Corrupt Media Awards (also known as the “Fakies”). Stephen Colbert even went to far as to buy a billboard for his ad. Where y’at, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel?:
Hey, guess what the most DVR’d show of 2017 was. I bet you were wrong.

In a new deal, A&E’s programming (which includes Lifetime, History and Viceland in addition to A&E) will be available for streaming on Yahoo and AOL.
MSNBC just promoted two female producers.
The Daily Sleaze
CBS News’ Political Director Steve Chaggaris has been fired for “inappropriate behavior.”
ABC is ditching plans for a Rolling Stone 50th Anniversary special, and I’m sure it has nothing to do with the allegations that have come out against founder Jann Wenner.
Dieter Wedel, a German TV director, has been accused of sexual assault.
