Anyone staying up to watch the State of the Union address in America? They keep saying that many people throughout the world will be watching because Trump is ‘an entertainer’ and they want to be entertained!
I’m not a masochist and endeavour to keep my blood pressure stable, so no I didn’t stay up to watch what was apparently the longest State of the Union speech in history at around two hours, though a two hour stream-of-unconsciousness ramble seems more like it, given the reports.
I daresay the News Channels will be reprising the ‘entertainment’ over and over again today, as it seems to be their remit to feed the desire for politics as showbiz by broadcasting just that. Next episode of the Wacky Wonderful World of Politics airs on Friday morning after the by-election, repeated hourly.
Chicken and Egg: the public gets what the public wants??
