I've been reading Crooks And Liars since Bush Jr. Just recently the page went all sideways and almost intelligible (on a PC). I looked all around for a button that would make it look like usual, but couldn't find one, and after a few days trying to read it like that, I gave up and stopped going there.
You said they had to switch to a phone format... I took my little PC/tablet, pulled it off the little magnetic keyboard, and turned it sideways..and voila! the website is now readable! thank you, I've been missing Crooks and Liars!

With MSNBC teaming up with, at least, 5 conservatives from the Bulwark - on a daily basis; and making Cheney the hero-con flavor of the week...we're screwed.

Coincidence you post a science fiction poster?
I read the C&L reporting of Trump chief of staff Meadows documents (I mean documented documents) that Trump the greatest and smartest republican to trod the Earth and lead a GOP Fascist Crusade.
That Trump (and white house staff) tried to have an Astronaut (of Trump's choosing) to count all the election ballots.
* did that sink in yet?
So the same extreme skeptical (non believing) republican conspiracy crowd want the same astronauts used in the faking of the moon lading because they are so trust worthy. To count the election votes.
Was there any time estimate of an Astronaut to count each and every American ballot cast in the presidential election?
The Astro-nut Squirrel Accounting firm.
Somehow I think it ended up using Cosmonauts and the trust factor didn't materialize.
Further: what does the GOP have on media in general and MSNBC in particular? There is a huge problem with that picture.
Unlike the right wingers who only watched FOX and now the snoozeMax , RT, or the OAN (only ass nasty) networks.
I do consume me some MSNBC, it is not my sole diet.
There are other televised news networks, Print media, some scarce radio and then the dangerous risky internet media/ social media.
Ever since the laws were changed for broadcast stations to present the news and it used to be a non profit entity of a network.. Since it has become a for profit part of the network, it has become in large an entertainment for ratings and profit division of the networks.
My goodness, when they went to the 24/7 concept. You would think they would have time to provide a plethora of variety of news.
When was the last time you heard a report on the COVID in China?
Trump and the GOP put the news industry on notice when Keshoggi was mutilated bat the whim of a Saudi King. Even though he was covered by America as an reporter for an American news company.
Think back with GW Bush who handed a gay escort a white house press pass and snub the press by calling on him to avoid taking real questions and most Americans oblivious.
As FOX became the GW's and Trump's white house employment pool. There credentials to lie to the public have ben honed at the FOX prep school of assholery.
Their goal. To erase the preamble of the Constitution as it states, "We the people, for the people, by the people.
They want it to read, for the Many people that I imagine.

OK, since you were talking about DFB's Atlantic horse shit and Zappadan miracles... This is literally true, I didn't make it up for the occasion. For years now, every time I get reminded of Mr. David Brooks I think of this song off of Frank Zappa's album "You Are What You Is" called Society Pages. It's just so damn perfect for him. "Some how, you was all kinda cheap 'n wrong"...
You're the ol' lady from the society pages
From a small town somewhere I used to be
You owned the paper and a bunch of other stuff
That didn't appeal to me
OL' LADY, OL' LADY OL LADY, OL' LADY OL' LADY, OL' LADY OL' LADY, OL' LADY
The hospital plans (yer brother drew 'em all)
You ran the paper 'n Charity Ball
Every day on the third or fourth page
There you was. . .you was quite the rage
Somehow, you was all kinda cheap 'n wrong
Just like in a lotta small towns
Where folks like you
Hang around too long
And pass out jobs to yer relatives 'n such
So you all keeps a lot, 'n nobody else
Ever gets too much.. .to speak of. . .
So what? What can you say?
So long as the trash gets picked up
So long as the trash gets locked up
Just so the trash don't stack up
Some day you won't be on page three
Or page four anymore
On the subject of DFB, I find that song hopeful and uplifting.
Sometimes I think that the goddamn Republicans (like MTG and Gaetz) have forgotten that there are real live sane voters out there in the world, then I remember that they don't really care as long as they can pack the elections infrastructure with fuckers just as crazy as them. So they are a gift to us as long as they continue to fail, but all it takes is one accidental win and it could be game over for American democracy.
This is where I get in trouble, but here goes anyway: Moran, Marshall, Kennedy, Cassidy and Johnson.
Thank you again for the podcast. It snowed. It's going to really snow this week. The cat is freaking out because he's not supposed to go out to begin with, but when he manages to get out anyway there's all of this cold wet white stuff all over the places where he wants to poop...

Hey Drift, can you cover the Bill O'Reilly/Donald Trump super tour and maybe the Gaetz/Neandertoes one as well. 'Cos the lamestream media won't ever do them justice
Which is worse?
Wallace the RINO asking pointed questions of republicans while the prime time lying hate spreaders have FOX executives slap Wallace for blame on the prime time shows ratings going down.
Or Wallace the traitor moving to CNN ( the Communist News Network). Which means he is pals with Trump's best pal Putin.?
What if,
Brian Williams ho just retired from MSNBC got hired by FOX to replace Wallace?
