I would rather talk about music.
Find the album “Watching the Sun Go Out” by Total Strangers at a streaming service near you.

Seconded! It is truly great. Also, the Woodstock set is one the streamings and Sly and the Family Stone are featured in Summer of Soul.

This is exactly correct. There are two sets of rules. And there is no wrong Republicans can do and no right Democrats can do.

You need to include everyone that voted for him and even those who couldn't get off the couch and help. This is a collapse by the American public pure, plain, and simple.

This is true. But it doesn’t make it an opportunity. I frankly am sick of hearing this “is an opportunity for Democrats” when the statement should be the American public have gotten this wrong. Because that is far more true.

I am curious why you think this is an opportunity when vasts swaths of this country think immigrants ARE the cause of violent crime. I agree that this is wrong but this is NOT an opportunity to my view.

Why do they have people on to lie? This will never, ever make sense to me.

Why do they repeat the lie all the time? It drives me insane.

Wouldn’t a real newspaper not even repeat the lie. Don’t they know by now all these goons want is the lie repeated? They don’t care about the nuances. They just want the lie out there.

The way most media treat the citizenry are as a group to be failed and not to fail. But you are completely correct. Our fellow citizens have failed us and that is the bottom line.

I would argue it is a failure to even have these clowns on your show. And Joe and Mika have tons of blood on their hands for their horrible show and it’s catering to awful “journalism” and the promotion of Trump in the first place.

Since you mention the Zombies… saw the new doc this weekend. I thought it was wonderful.

There have been some horrible media times over the last 10 years. This week has to be way, way up there.

I don’t understand what they are doing at all. Can anyone honestly say they would really understand the world by reading the New York Times or Washington Post? Let alone any of the broadcast news shows?

This is so well put and the absolute kindest way of putting it but it really is saying they are absolute dumb fucks.

I could not agree more.
However, the reason most don’t is because it is their family and their friends and it is easier to give them the benefit of the doubt, or give them a pass, rather than deal with the reality.

All. Of. This. The story is if this evidence is presented out of court this is a kidnapping. But silly me expecting the press to actually cover a story accurately.

I was at the ellipse the night before the election and it was electric. People will go to the ends of the earth to not have to change their priors.
Here is the problem for all time: Too many Americans can not tolerate the idea of a woman of color being in charge. End of story.

The New York Times wrote that Biden should step down when Biden had a bad debate. Even though he clearly understood the facts and issues at play.
Why don’t you write that Trump should step down. He clearly has “pudding for brains”, as you put it. Why don’t you write that piece?

Do you think the interviewer should have drilled down on this? The President of the United States is telling the public a straight up lie as a reason he is being detained in another country. And the interviewer wants to “move on”? Are you fucking kidding me?

I will trust you how bad this is. I am sure I will be screaming and wanting to throw my phone if I read it.

Absolutely 💯 agree with this thread. You had a thread last summer saying everyone gets their “credentials” shitting in the Democrats. And the press can’t live unless they are. It is some cowardly fucking shit.

Do you remember Bethany McClean from “Smartest Guys in the Room”? She looked at Enron’s numbers and called it out when everyone else was looking elsewhere. Why is it so difficult for everyone else to look at the obvious?

Newspeak was the central feature used by the party in 1984. Language is critical.

I don’t remember the specifics but wasn’t TPP designed to have a coalition to isolate China? Am I misunderstanding something?

Doesn’t make it right but I don’t think that should be discounted.

And they just don’t have the strength of character to speak painful truths about their siblings, parents, children, extended family. To speak the truth about Trump is to speak that truth about his followers. And that is just too painful for too many.

I agree many white people don’t want to see what is in front of them. I would also argue that a large portion also don’t want to see and don’t want to say the truth about other white people because it is their family and their friends.

I know you have “rude” but there is nothing rude about these questions in any way shape or form. They are just too cowardly to ask the questions.

Do other media outlets have the responsibility to report what a pack of lies Fox News is? Why can’t they police their own industry?

If anyone likes this album that my band did is entirely about the Trump era. I think it deals with a lot of the issues we all deal with including losing loved ones to the cult.
It is called Watching the Sun Go Out and is on all the streamings
