It is not allowable for the arm of society dedicated to the dispersion of information to pretend that it is not.<br /><br />EVERYTHING that is happening now in politics is a direct result of the corporate masters of the media abdicating their duties in favor of profits. And everyone employed by these media entities should just pack it up and go into advertising. <br /><br />At least in advertising you are EXPECTED to use propaganda to sell your product. It's above-board, everyone knows it, and no one pretends that they are dispensing unvarnished truth of the good of the country. There is honor in advertising. <br /><br />The hypocrisy in the MSM is as stunning as it is galling.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02557598539640390108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-74645085507756462502016-05-23T15:48:21.497-05:002016-05-23T15:48:21.497-05:00Most of the nooz anymore is awash in Trumpmania. ...Most of the nooz anymore is awash in Trumpmania. Even whilst pretending to diss the man or plot against him in some way, everyone on all channels are breathlessly agog awaiting the next "outrageous" thing that the Donald utters. And then some of the commentators can commence to mocking him (if not a serious show), or some can commence to "seriously" deconstructing his utterances, and so forth.<br /><br />I'm with Donald Walsh, above: ignore this human detritus as much as feasible. We will have to pay some attention during the general election, but otherwise? Meh.<br /><br />What's to say? Most of Trump's "policies" are absurd. He's a racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted pig, who figured out long ago how to mob up (literally) and milk the system for his personal benefit (but let's complain about poor people). The GOP proles have been tossed red meat and dog whistles for decades so they see Trump's viewpoints as not only the natural order of things, but as <i>the way things should be.</i> It's no surprise that they sieg heil at Trump rallies. <br /><br />On the airwaves, none dare call it the great con job that it is.RUKiddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057702539722165035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-45463531993203792992016-05-23T14:09:43.829-05:002016-05-23T14:09:43.829-05:00Good afternoon, Mr. Glass.

He is using his ability to remain at the top of the news every single news cycle, by saying any old crazy thing, true of not, just to keep his name on everyone's lips. It is THE anti-Trump remedy to ignore him. And it's not easy-- try not thinking about a pancake right now, I'll wait....See? Not thinking about Trump is especially difficult for the politically aware, but it is an important action (non-action?) we can do to fight back.
