Sunday Morning Comin' Down: Continue Grinding to a Uniform Consistency Edition

I'm just going to repeat exactly what I wrote one week ago with a different embedded Tweet because by now it should be obvious that the Sunday Shows are a lost cause.  By now it should be obvious that, like the Republican traitors they enable, even if an 01/06/21-style MAGA mob brought the war to their front door -- forcing them to hide under their desks texting what they believed may be their final words to their loved ones --  that still would not be enough to motivate them to change their basic formula of uncritically platforming Republican liars, seditionists and lunatics.

For going on 16 years now I've been writing on my little blog out here in the exurbs of respectability about what an absolute, democracy-poisoning travesty the network's Sunday Shows.

By my back-of-the-envelope calculations, that comes to several hundred thousand words.  At least a "Lonesome Dove"'s worth.

After all of that time and energy and visceral material expended for so years by so many people who have been "documenting the atrocities" this is what we have to show for our efforts:


After armed Republican insurrectionists stormed the United States capitol, the Republican Party barely skipped a beat before return to business as usual so why would anyone expect their enablers in the mainstream media not to do likewise?

One way to attack network tv is to blast the stations, transmission towers and satellite dishes with Jewish Space Lasers. Oh, wait...

Mr DG; I just read a column where your favorite haver-of-opinions David F'ing Brooks has crawled into bed with facebook. I guess his masters at the NYTimes aren't paying him enough.

It is one thing for Network news news'ers report and expose such knuckleheads (like Believers in Flat Earth) without anything to back their inanity up with.

They seem to keep putting them on without dismantling what they espoused. Can't seem to have a global earher on to counter. Why do they want to normalize it?

They know many are paid to promote the garbage. They don't seem interested in the Cash flow too their nonsense and why secret donors inverses in it and what they will get in return of their investment in it.

FOX is responsible for it's misinformation broadcasting. I will say, other networks should step up to expose it more. "Countdown" did the Worst Person in the world and many times it ended up as hanity or Billo.

I remember when Obama gave national address on health care which FOX refused to air like the other networks did air. After it was over, The hannity show clipped out of context Obama to make it sound as he was condemning insurance companies.
Olbermann in his worst person in the world, Had hannity as the winner for airing the edited piece . Knowing FOX did not air the president but only afterwards showed that edited clip..

You can still find this on the youtube her is the link

What is the imprtance of any networl so needy to schedule GOP officials on their shows? What is the pupose if they can say any bullshit and repeat it. To be able to tell their nut base that they went into the lion's den and really stuffed it to them liberals when they go on FOX?

:Antifa were the Capital rioters on jan 6. .

How can you say that?
many people say it is true. Sen. Ron Johnson read a right wing white supremaxist blog post into the Senate record in a hearing that said so as well.

Okay, What is your proof? Show me one ANTIFA person that was in the building. It was not ANTIGA that beat a policeman with a American flag on his pple.

Are you telling me AnNTIFA showed up to Trump's "stop the steal" rally and obeyed his command to go to the capital building during the rally?

Once they commit to a lie, any host has the duty to stay on that subject and truth seek.
None of this, we will have to agree to disagree and move on.
Moving on solved nothing.
