Media
Related: About this forumRiddle me this....
I hope someone here can talk me down. With everything that is surfacing about Trump and everything that has already surfaced amounting to a garbage island the size of the land mass of Asia... Why does the MSM allow him to hang around? I know there is the theory that he is good for ratings and the horse race and all of that, but... I am suspicious of those excuses.
I mean... here is a media that burned down Dukakis for riding in a tank, who swiftboated Kerry... a true patriot. This is the media who burned down Dr. Dean for giving a rousing victory speech ending with a Football rally touchdown whoop.
After everything... they still have their gloves on. They still tread lightly.
What hidden hand is keeping them on the chain? This is what keeps me up at night.
Any theories?

(12,844 posts)It seems to me that this is all not just as simply dismissed as media ownership by the 1%.
That would be NORMAL and this is profoundly ABNORMAL.
How does any of this benefit the media elite if they can't haul Trumps ass across the finish line to victory? They are setting fire to their own house... shredding what is left of their tattered "credibility
in a dying media model (TV). They are loosing money. Trump is not buying any advertising and thousands cut the cable cord every day.
Trump cannot win unless the election is hacked and the media is not going to hack it. So... is the corporate hidden hand of the media going to use the Russian cat's paw to steal this election? If this is not their plan, to main stream their propaganda directly from the White house; I don't see any upside in their not cutting the orange orangutan loose.
Just mull this over while pondering Ivanka "vacationing" with Murdoch's ex-wife - Putin's current
squeeze... who, BTW if you're not already dizzy with nausea... introduced Ivanka to her husband.
Has Russia already bought this election?

(12,844 posts)Ivanka has a four month old baby. Soooo... she leaves her infant to go on "Vacation" with Putin's girlfriend. WTF-ing-F? This was some kind of an emergency meeting with a Russian agent.

Weird associations.
Expect hacking of elections results.
Its not like that never happened before.
This whole election process is such a waste of time. 4 years of stupid crap.
Simplify the system.
