That unheated cattle train to Siberia

What does it take for the Fear 'n' Balanced Network to refer to its oracle's pronouncements as an "over-the-top tirade" in the No. 3 spot on the homepage? But wait, there's more!
 Yes, you heard right: Not just a "bizarre tirade" but a "bizarre Twitter rant":

President Trump teed off on the news media in a bizarre Twitter rant Thursday morning ahead of a big social media summit at the White House slated for later in the day.

The string of tweets attacked the news media and claimed the industry would go out of business when he leaves office, even suggesting outlets would be forced to endorse him this cycle for the sake of their own survival.

He went on to alternately praise himself, lob insults at familiar targets in the 2020 Democratic field and even joke about serving more than two terms.


Pause for a moment and think of the human cost. That's one name in the byline and two in the shirttail who could find themselves with first-class reservations on that unheated cattle train to Siberia before the "social media summit" is out!
