Sitting here at the bar/restaurant at the Ft. Wayne Hilton, a nice Midwest hotel located across the street from the gorgeous Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, I was forced to do something I don’t usually do. Watch CNN. Some rogue from hotel management decided to hold customers hostage to CNN that evening in this deeply Republican state.

Not that long ago, I frequently watched CNN. It was a reliable, respectable news outlet. Liberal but serious. But sadly, the unfortunate folks at CNN went full Trump Derangement Syndrome circa 2017. The network has never been the same. The bias is so bad and often so downright silly that — akin to reading the awful New York Times — you just shouldn’t bother, for the sake of your mental health.

And so it was that I lifted my head from my fine glass of red wine to glimpse the headline banner under the perky, pretty Erin Burnett. What did it say? It conveyed to CNN’s faithful an item of apparent great importance if not astonishment. I quote in full: “TRUMP VOWED TO BRING DOWN EGG PRICES, EGGS NOW AT RECORD HIGH.”

Well, hell’s bells! Good golly, Miss Molly (or Ms. Burnett). Donald Trump, ladies and gentlemen, had been president for a total of 16 days at that moment, and the price of eggs were not lower yet. Damn him! Now there’s a whopper of a failed promise!
