Has CNN devoted more time to Donald Trump . . .
. . . and his endorsement of Mitt Romney than the “news” network has to the failure of the Senate Democrats to pass a budget in over three years?
UPDATE: Seems I’m not the only one noting the network’s obsession with Mr. Trump. From Jennifer Rubin:
Peter Wehner blasts CNN. “There are dozens of significant and complicated topics that CNN could explore with care. But it has decided to hyper-focus on Donald Trump and the birther issue. That’s bad enough. But what makes it worse is when some in the media then saddle up on their high horses and lament that lack of seriousness in American politics. They pretend what they most want is a sophisticated and elevated conversation about the weightiest issues facing our nation and the world. They deride politicians for focusing on trivialities, even as they are the ones putting the spotlight on the trivialities and demanding politicians address them.”

CNN viewers don’t want to know that Democrats sometimes are failures they just want to be told simple stories about how Republicans are crazy racists.

CNN’s ratings will continue to go into the dumper.
