Quit distorting the context and spreading falsehoods.

[DenisBurke-vbvh]

No one cares, more importantly Joe Rogan podcast of 50 million views shows how irrelevant your news rooms are today

[dalethomas]

How do they even call themselves journalists anymore. It’s just so ridiculous.

Political science 101...people vote according to their bank account. We are 1 trillion in credit card debt. But u think a joke is important?

[Not_Your_Buddy_Guy]

“Fallout” = engineered outrage by MSM that no one actually cared about. If you’re offended by that joke, you got bigger problems in life.

[melissacoupal]

It's disturbing that people are upset about a joke being made about Puerto Rico having a trash problem, and not about the FACT that Puerto Rico does have a trash problem! Wow!

[markbraunschweig]

Like anyone trusts you anymore. That's funny that you think so.

[dianeamodio]

When are you guys going back to being journalists instead of propagandist?

[RajAdams]

She is done and too late. Total failure and incompetent tool. She’s so fake as this channel!

[Robmirich]

Trump is unnecessary. Let’s put him where he can no longer matter - jail.

[tonypalermo]

No fallout! Trump blew the roof off of MSG!! He's killing it!

[NotALegacyMediaNPC]

the state-controlled propaganda machine has literally covered this non-story about a comedian’s joke than they did to BOTH of the assassination attempts on Donald Trump’s life

[jts]

MSN should be held accountable for the attempts on President Trumps life. Calling him Hitler is inciting violence.

[hh-xs]

Vote for safe borders, economy, no wars, energy independence not the Obama lectures and hate.

[kevingoodwin]

The comment about Puerto Rico was rude... but not racist. The media makes everything about race.

[mullingreen]

Y’all are scared as hell aren’t yall? All these ridiculous allegations

[ThestDukeDroklar]

🤣 Nobody cares about some comedian's joke. We care about issues like the border and the Middle East.

[tiongcomonico]

Let's unite to overcome Trump's divisive era on November 5, 2024, driven by our shared love for America. It's time to break free from the toxic cycle of hatred & intolerance that has come to define 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' - a phenomenon where rational thinking gives way to blind disdain.=

[LCboston]

Fake outrage and Trump hasn’t even addressed it. No one cares😂😂😂😂

[danman]

You know the democrats are desperate when they're falling apart over a joke. 😆
