Tom Joseph tweets Jake Tapper a question: “ how’s your work progressing on your next book about Trump’s raging dementia?”
Trump, stumbles, bumbles, suffers constant synaptic glitches, walks into walls, says absurd things and can’t even lie with finesse, is visibly disoriented, and the corporate media just lets it all wash over them.
Trump at its best makes less sense than Biden at his worst.
Biden made more sense in the disaster debate than Trump did. Did any corporate media journalist take any time to actually read a transcript of the debate without the visual skew of Biden’s halting delivery? Has anyone dared to parse the insanity and lies that pumped out of Trump at that debate?
is simply the latest episode in the corporate media’s campaign to shift attention from Trump’s insanity and senility to Biden’s cognitive decline.
It’s yet another example of corporate publishing’s investment in books that are not books but instead put-up jobs. In all likelihood, his agent concocted the idea together with him, and then extorted big money from an ever-gullible corporate publisher; although it’s possible that it was commissioned. It was undoubtedly written in frantic haste and the writing is probably perfunctory. But this is the kind of overly-promoted project for which the reviews are all but already written before the book is published–often by journalists who think that going along to get along will get themselves a better book deal.
Penguin deserves to lose every penny that they squandered on this.
The whole thing reeks.
It’s very interesting, by the way, that the corporate media was afraid to touch Michael Wolff’s latest Trump expose but they are all over Tapper’s Biden reveal.
The Daily Beast is reporting that the Disney brass who control ABC are now putting the squeeze on the women of The View to muffle their criticism of Herr Trump.
Corporate consolidation of our media has been an unmitigated disaster. People gasp when I tell them that there were 50+plus media companies controlling media when I started out, and there are now 5.
For once they can’t be caught flat footed: when the catastrophic cuts to Medicaid and Medicare start destroying the lives of Trump’s constituents, the Republicans will come up with a new fake narrative to distract: it was all the fault of the “illegals” who were receiving health care that they shouldn’t.
Harris herself lost control of the campaign. The Nation reports that Harris had instructed her campaign to increase funding for ads in Black media. Her campaign paid no attention.
The neoliberals still hold to the condescending belief that voters of color have “no where else to go.” The fact is, they don’t have to go anywhere at all, including the polls, as they demonstrated last November.
Kali Holloway tallies “The Democrats Lost Millions.”
City Hall’s determination to demolish the landmarked Tony DaPalito Recreation Center on Carmine Street motivated their refusal for years to make needed repairs.
Rally on June 1 to save a handsome building that has served the needs of New York City workers for over 100 years. 2:30 p.m. at the Center on Seventh Ave. So. and Clarkson St.
No, it’s not good enough to retroactively regret your decision.
Rubio has never been anything but a willing executioner of democracy, a miserable, lying sleaze who simply does what the bigger boys tell him to. Doesn’t have an ounce of of independence or integrity.
Remember how Rubio lisped out his insistence on an imaginary “precedent” for Mitch McConnell’s assault on the Constitution when he denied Obama even a hearing on his nomination of Merrick Garland?
That was in 2016. The Dems had more than enough time to take Rubio’s measure. They chose not to.
No GOP member who votes for their monstrous budget gets to claim that he or she practices Christianity. We’ve got to stop letting the GOP use Christianity as an alibi.
I wrote an obituary for the Washington Post.
