HOUSE OF CARDS

The GOP, Fox Propaganda and the rest of the fascist media, together with the legacy corporate media, thought they could use Biden’s vastly-exaggerated cognitive decline as a decoy to distract America from Trump’s insanity, senility and treason.

CUNY JOURNALISM PROFESSOR JEFF JARVIS REMINDS THE CORPORATE MEDIA

how thoroughly its journalist malpractice has rendered it almost irrelevant.

“What ‘press’? The broken and vindictive Times? The newly Murdochian Post? Hedge-fund newspaper husks? Rudderless CNN or NPR? Murdoch’s fascist media?”

By contrast, Harris “can choose many ways to communicate her stands with others outside the old press and with the public directly. The old press can and should be bypassed.”

Harris sees of course, what the corporate media just did to Biden, and how they consistently grade Trump on a curve.

MUSK AND TRUMP’S OPPOSITIONAL DEFIANCE

They each wage a pitched battle, a war of wills against reality. Everything they say is an assault on truth and reality.

Two of a kind, two very disturbed people.

ELON MUSK’S COMMITTMENT TO APOCALYPSE

Musk is either one of the stupidest people alive, or simply one of the most deceitful, but certainly he is one of the most committed to terminating human existence.

He tells us that nuclear power is the safest form of energy and that Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren’t such a big deal. Whereas we know that nuclear power is just as dangerous as burning fossil fuels, and Hiroshima nd Nagasaki were cataclysmic deals.

Only someone completely indifferent to human life and welfare could speak the way that Musk does. 

A highly disturbed individual.

WELL, THAT’S ONE KIND OF DISTINCTION

“I have never seen an industry slower to learn from its stupid mistakes than the American news business,” Lawrence O’Donnell said tonight.

But are they mistakes? Or giving the moguls what they demand.

“Most of the questions were terrible,” O’Donnell said about the “reporters” who queried Trump. “The silliest possible questions you could ask.”

Outraged that Trump’s entire rally-conference was covered in full by the networks who declined to offer any real-time fact checking, and also declined to cover Kamala Harris’s speech later in the day, O’Donnell proceeded to air her speech in full.

VANCE’S MANUFACTURED OUTRAGE AND AUCTIONEERING FAST TALK

harmonize with overwrought and obviously over stimulated windbag Donald Trump’s retailing all his greatest lowlights from his bunker in that moth eaten hangout for international spies in Palm Beach. Trump gives a rally disguised as a press conference and the corporate media “reporters” lap it up.

DEMS NEED TO CALL OUT THE CORPORATE MEDIA FOR CO-PILOTING THE SWIFTBOAT ONCE AGAIN

At Talking Points Memo, Josh Marshall writes: “The WaPo was probably the worst culprit, with this headline:  ‘Tim Walz’s military record, National Guard departure get new scrutiny.’ It happily launders the Vance attack line without self-awareness or historical understanding of the last two decades of American politics. ‘New scrutiny’ – like its weasel-word compadres ‘raises questions about’ and ‘is said to’ – confers a miraculous virgin birth to scurrilous political attacks even if they’re launched right out in the open.”

The corporate media will never learn because it does not want to learn. Its owners do not want it to learn. Remember, the Post is owned by right-wing billionaire Jeff Bezos and directed by right-wing, extremely dodgy Murdoch hack Will Lewis.

THE SAME OLD HUSTLE ON “AFFORDABLE” HOUSING

The new supersized developments approved by the usual suspects: Gov. Hochul, Mayor Adams, and alleged progressives like State Senator Hoylman, NYC Council Member Bottcher, et. al.– must  include about one-quarter income-restricted housing—”though these “’restrictions’ could allow incomes well above the median for NYC,” Village Preservation reports.

NEW YORK CITY FRAME OF MIND

Here basic rights, services, and amenities are treated not as something to which its citizens (all of whom pay taxes of one kind or another) are entitled, as a right as residents, and as a return on their contributions, but as a privilege that New Yorkers must earn by agreeing to accept draconic overbuilding as the price for what a functioning social contract would supply–with no questions asked.
