Sunday Morning Comin' Down: So Say We All Edition




What is there to add but...

If you need a little more, head on over to Jay Rosen's house for a brief, intense course is how journalism's own code has created a closed loop that has become a noose:
Normalizing Trump: An incredibly brief explainer 
A conflict in the journalist's code was created by a president wholly unfit for the job.




Behold, a Tip Jar!

Today's NPR's New Yorker Radio Hour featured David Remnick interviewing Hillary for most of the hour and it was really good, informative, the way an interview ought to be conducted. Unlike Charlie Rose or Morning Hoe, etc. She was mostly reflective but she clearly despises Trump and his disgusting base and who can blame her. In many ways, this country is really backward. I'm not sure a woman could be President for many years to come.

She was actually a little careful about the media but it was pretty clear that she felt the showman got huge amounts of media airtime compared to the factual, policy wonk Clinton. And this was before Wikileaks and Comey.

We can say that Trump's election was a black swan event and it was, in many ways, but it is also clear that the world's oligarchs, led by Putin, have been waging a determined, well-financed campaign to destroy Western, liberal democracy as a political system and institute oligarchic autocracy as the new norm. And the GOP are totally on board with this. Hence, the dilemma we are in now.

As the MSNBC reporter that was assigned to Trump during the entire campaign.

Now Katie Tur write a book to tell us what she should have during the campaign.

You know, HRC may have have a point. A bit too late.

But hold on, Trump is to give an address tot he United Nations soon.

I am telling you, he is going to pivot. Pirouette for that matter and at that moment he will become president.

Show me a news network that has exclusively progressive and liberal shows to compare with the FOX ? Why is corporate media all go with the same conservative line?
Oh, I heard that one where they say, Libs are not entertaining enough. While they boo-hoo over liberal Hollywood.

Note who advertises on Cable news & Sunday morning shows. Boeing, Lockheed Martin, the American Petroleum Institute, etc. They like lots of right-wingers on these shows & some topics are never to be discussed.

So Amy "Mama Pence As brought homemade cookies to our plane" Chozick finally figured out that Hillary has given up on media. I'm sure Handmaid Ofpence will contrive some bullshit reason why. I hate these people.
