Another failure from our complicit media

As always all the attention goes to the crybaby Americans who’d whine and shoot guns, and whether they should be given veto power over rule of law, none to the substantial majority that would party in the streets if Trump faced a small measure of justice. https://t.co/7xpA1plYWd

The New York Times is already buying into their bullshit revisionism

The entire nat sec policy conversation about this is a farce. Every GOP supported and continues to support a Prez who *at the most generous read* idolized Putin and consistently tried to pls him by pursuing policies most treat as clearly damaging to US interests. All a joke. https://t.co/HAJBrtYy3C

Our media is either blind or beyond stupid

Wait, didn't Joe Manchin spend six months reaching out to Republicans on voting rights, only to come up entirely empty?

Are we going to talk about that?

Anyone? https://t.co/NeAPcY7UTj

Going, going, gone?

Thankfully, people have the power because journalism is no help at all

While much has been made of Donald Trump's lies (and what a surprise that was) while he was being interviewed by NBC's Chuck Todd on Meet the Press this past weekend, not nearly enough has been made about Todd's facile response to said lies and his simplistic follow-up questions.  Todd's performance was nothing less than embarrassing.

In fairness, I've always thought Chuck Todd was to journalism what raw liver is to a chocolate sundae, but still you'd think a journalist with national presence could manage to do a little better than to cower before an impotent leader and mail his performance in.

Pitiful.

Fuck Donald Trump,

Chuckles

So...Chuck Todd (perfectly understandable if you're reaction is "Who?") has written a book called The Stranger in which he takes potshots at President Obama.

Leaving aside the fact that the Meet the Press moderator must have only read the Cliff's Notes version of Albert Camus' esteemed novel, why is anyone surprised by this?  The only people who read books like this are either a) insiders, or b) old white people (probably the same ones who are the only people to actually watch his show).  For insiders, it reinforces their world view of Obama; old white people voted against him overwhelmingly twice and it will only reinforce their hatred of the President.

Todd didn't set out to write a Pulitzer winner--he set out to make money.  Hatin' on the Democrats is a (minor) lottery winner.

Just ask Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, ad nauseum.
