I wish it was them being unprepared, is seems as if they are seizing this moment to show who they really are. They deliver drama, outrage and division for cash, facts are used only to make them sound legitimate while they selectively manipulate them to reflect what the owners want us to believe
They don't have to comply, they're wearin the boots. All the big corpos are stoked about what's happenin because there won't be anything to stop them from makin line go up
I don't know that they are because think of it this way we're now starting to see changes. The Republican Senate is standing up a little more not all of Trump's nominees are going to get through
On the flip side we are going to see acceleration maybe not of tariffs but a mass deportation and that's going to be the thing that's going to be balanced out by Wall Street and I think some of these senators
Even the guy that lost my very close margin in California said don't mess with undocumented workers. If Republicans were smart this is the time to get bipartisan immigration reform.
Many in corporate media have been feeding the machine, in good faith, for decades. They can't process their impartial, invisible hand, which was never either, could turn on them. They'll march to the camps believing it's just a ghastly mistake, a computer glitch & redemption will come.
The clearest example of corporate media malfeasance was how journalists averted their eyes from the realities of climate change, repeating verbatim corporate spin. For over 25 years I've watched the media lick the oilmen's boots, and it has brought us here. So no, they're not equipped to deal.
Never really followed you or even knew about you before you interviewed Chaya "This Is A Blowjob" Raichik. But you seem to be a good game in journalism and hope to see good fruit from you in the upcoming 4 years.
It could be framed through the lens of preparedness, but I think it useful to consider engagement. Linear TV and elite media are in decline. Their reach has dramatically reduced and their model is dying. Their only chance of survival is to become something else.
When all things Trump are defeated they are going to come out wildly unprepared to claim we never realised how bad Trumpheid was? No!! They will rage against whatever system replaces the system of Trumpheid if it affects their profit. Trumpheid now means money to them.
It is people such as you, Amy Goodman, Jeremy Scahill, Naomi Klein, Steve Schmidt, Rick Wilson, Brian Tyler Cohen, Adam Mockler and a few others that give me hope.
Take away their funding… cancel your TV providing service. It’s great that MSNBC’s ratings are tanking, but Comcast/Spectrum/Cox/YTTV/etc carriage fees deliver 60% of the profits to Fox’s empire of networks.
How much is losing your fave channel worth, to hit their pocketbooks HARD?
Are they unprepared? Cause they really all seem to be relishing the transition to right wing fascism. It’s almost like they’re all owned by billionaires who seem relatively aligned with their agenda.
Meanwhile, @means.tv has been bowling nothing but strikes!

Are they actually unprepared, or just unwilling to bother due to 'rules and incentives'? I really think most actual journalists could shift gears to do things in the more mindful, incisive way, but editor/ownership desks and parallel shareholder class have other things in mind.
In corporate media, truth withers beneath fluorescent prophecy—each headline carefully crafted to protect the billionaire pantheon that rules our modern Rome. They've shed their masks now, conducting our democracy's funeral with measured precision while their newsrooms applaud the performance.
Look to who owns our corporate media. The billionaires. That includes print and social media too. They are all complicit. We must devise a work around to inform the public or find a billionaire that wants to save democracy to buy an outlet or two.
I beg to differ - corporate media are owned by gated community living trump donating billionaires who are very prepared for more oligarchy and autocracy.

I’m beginning to think they’re just willfully incompetent.

These mercenaries are in the business of saying anything for a check.
