Looks like a Witch Hunt to me

Gonna need to get out of bed early (for me) tomorrow

Greene hit one!

There go the remodeling upgrades...

As a 73 year old with health diagnoses that was described by one of my physicians as a "life defining disease" I approve Obama's message

From the JVL piece. Check out the comments as well, if you can

You just answered your question at the end. These guys have no interest in actually governing. They just want to order people around and in the end leave it to the adults, if there are any left, to try to pick up the pieces. They are impetulant children

Maybe if the party stopped relying on or hoping for a" savior" with a plan they act like a left of center Heritage Foundation, basically a think tank, to formulate a blueprint for all candidates to run on. The problem is that getting Democrats to agree on anything is like trying to heard a Cub Scout Pack after they've had their snacks

JVL today https://www.thebulwark.com/p/america-needs-a-project-2029?utm_campaign=email-post&r=45wcm&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Democrats and Never Trumpers need to develop their own Project 2029. Face it America is broken. All norms have been shattered. We can't count on the courts to help fix it and without major landslides, which are unlikely to happen, relying on Congress is a joke. Develop a plan and run on it. There needs to be a New Fair Deal

Those one the type that historically have dominated the past few years

I'd put Broadcast News in there too. Or at least they nailed it at the time..

They need a Dan Campbell style pep talk

If your relying information from Cash Patel, it's probably wrong

On the TV side with the emergence of CNN and a bit later Fox it was fairly factual. Folks were glued to CNN during the first Iraqi War. Fox tried to compete but never really really could. That's when Fox decided to do the We Report, You Decide campaign. It seems everything changed with the 2000 contested election and Murdoch's political bent took over. Ted Turner saw the light, sold CNN and retired to Montana or someplace.... The Gulf War followed by Obama's election made the gulf between opinion and News widen. Big $$$$$ won

That's been the case in several games this last stretch. A bunch of little things. Bloop here, error there. Last night was a major meltdown. It's almost like I'm watching my OOTP Go team implode on me

Supposedly there are regulations limiting the number of TV and/or Radio stations a company can own in a single market. Or a number of stations in the US overall. Personally I feel the problem is when they eliminated the Fairness Doctrine in the late 1980s. The reasoning was the growth of other media, like cable at the time eliminated the need to have a well regulated structure insuring all voices be heard on a subject. Since then "News" has become monetized. It's no longer what's true or tactful, but what brings in the most eyeballs or clicks or whatever. Now that every Tom, **** or Mary can create a podcast or a U-Tube , or a Tic-Toc platform it's become the Wild West. I'm not sure what the solution is now that things like Public Media have become a political football in many circles. If more regulation would actually require independent accountability. I'm all for it. But I think it goes deeper. And there is no correct answer in today's political climate.

Murrow was right, —“This instrument can teach, it can illuminate, yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise, it is nothing but wires and lights in a box” The other part of that RTNDA speech... if the medium is driven only by profit and comfort, it will not inform citizens enough to sustain democracy. This is where we are now. Deregulate the media.When the Fairness Doctrine died...it became anarchy

Are you sure it's Morgan or his viewers. I have money on the latter

Good thing the First Lady took action and started walking. Who knows how long Dear Leader would have been stuck on that contraption
