    I'm so glad my son (31) quit listening to him.

    He probably outgrew him.

    I've listened to him quite a bit before he went to spotify. His interviews with comics were generally pretty good. And any time he went toward political or cultural topics, not so much.

    It was the antisemitism and racism that got to him.

    Or he had a moral compass to begin with.

    Breaking the rules again but this is a good Josh Marshall tweet.

    I've said before that a lot of political reporters want to be covering awards shows and sports.

    Again, this is why my wife and I never listen to the New York Times podcast, The Daily, when it comes on the radio during dinner IF it's covering electoral politics, even though we will listen to Marketplace before it.

    That said, last night's episode with David Leonhart, which concludes tonight on the history of immigration policies since the 1960s, is, so far, pretty damn good.

    If Harris wins, we need to either create a new thread or redirect the purpose of this one.

    The MSM is completely irredeemable at this moment. They’re not a problem to be solved, they’re an obstacle to be overcome, while also an obstacle that needs to be destroyed.

    By “destroy” I do NOT mean the institutions as institutions, but as they are. So if Politico writes “regardless of what she meant” about some errant Harris remark, Dems need to attack Politico, not play their spin game. If TFNYT is being a baby about interviews, the White House press office should give a pacifier to their beat reporter.

    If Politico and TFNYT want to do responsible journalism, then invite them back in. Until then, ******** ‘em.

    Their defense is that Trump was talking about her close advisers, not her voters.

    Of course, Biden’s comment was clearly about Kill Tony; otherwise the whole thing makes no sense.

    Not a media failure because they're forced to air them. But I saw some insane Randall Terry anti Democrat ad with trans and gay men "grooming" kids, actual dead fetuses and some black preacher saying Democrats keep AAs down. Completely nuts

    An interesting perspective on the media's failures and limitations in covering disasters, from a guy who usually dissects movies.



    One of the things I realized watching this is that the way the media covers disasters (specifically Hurricane Helene) allowed for disinformation and lies to take hold.

    MSNBC hosts Joe and Mika meet Trump at Mar-a-Lago to find common ground. How can they do this with a straight face ? You can't ask your viewer to believe the guy is Hitler / Fascist and then try to pivot away from it. Why would anyone still watch them ?

    They're simply trying to avoid being sent to the camps or prison.

    Nah… they are simply deplorable, shameless hacks. They went to kiss the ring. ******** them…They have always been a couple of frauds. I have not watched tv since the elections and one thing I know, you will not catch me dead watching morning Joe.

    Joe Scarborough has always sucked. His show was only good for background noise if you were getting ready to leave for work or if you couldn't sleep.
