THE RIGHT-WING MEDIA REALLY DOESN'T CARE WHAT TRUMP SAID LAST NIGHT

President Trump spoke for eighty minutes last night ... and nobody in the right-wing media appears to have any interest whatsoever in any policy position he articulated during his speech. The only concern on the right is whether liberals were angry or upset.

The train crash involving Republican members of Congress has now become the lead story at Fox News Insider, but below that, here are the headlines:



Opinions on the immigration proposal? On a possible infrastructure plan? On the economic boasting? Nobody at Fox cares, apparently. It's all about how awful Democrats are.

Apart from that, there isn't another mention of the State of the Union until you get to the #8 story on the front page -- and then the stories are either about triggered political enemies ("'I'm Gonna Go Curl Up in the Fetal Position': POTUS Trump’s SOTU Address Leaves CNN Commentator in Shambles"; "Democrats at SOTU Refuse to Applaud to: Record Low Unemployment, Employee Bonuses, National Anthem, Secure Border, Jerusalem...") or presumably delighted fans ("President Trump’s SOTU Speech a Huge Hit! Even the CNN Snap Poll Was Off the Charts!"; "POTUS TRUMP ROCKS TWITTER! 4.5 Million State of the Union Tweets During Speech Smashes Record").

Breitbart doesn't care about the speech's content either. Here's Breitbart's lead story:



And among Breitbart's "trending stories," there's only one that's about the State of the Union:
AP: WHY DID MELANIA WEAR WHITE? SOME SEE HIDDEN MEANINGS
Why do right-wingers want control of the government when they have absolutely no interest in what it does?
