I read a report that President Trump's young son saw it and really thought it was his dad. True or not, no child should have had to witness something like that. Cable news and social media have created an environment of 24/7 exposure. Those who rely on that exposure for success must compete fiercely to stay relevant and this has led to the "shock and awe" antics we witness daily. Readers and viewers are desensitized, so the headline must be shocking to get attention. This makes me sad. I've never been a fan of President Trump's personality. But this story is not about politics. It is about humanity and the lack of common sense. Kathy Griffin's latest antic is just the latest (albeit the worst) example. She deserves to suffer professionally for what she did and I hope she does. Maybe it will be the beginning of a correction cycle on those who make a living exercising their rights under the first amendment.

Sorry. I'm not trying to be preachy. This was more of a therapeutic post on my part.
