Dereliction Of “Duty”

And to think some say the “elite” media is utterly delusional:

I mean, I get the theory – it’s not quite the puffery it appears to be at first glance. A media that conscientiously checks and balances government is, in fact, vital – not only to democracy, but to the functioning of a free society.

Quick example: In the history of the world, there has never been a famine in a place with both a relatively free economy and a relatively free press; the market evens out the economic distortion, and a free-ish media allays the panic-hoarding and the corruption, that are behind most modern famines.

Now – looking at the shortages creeping up around us today, do you think our media could be doing a better job of reporting on the causes?

As opposed to puffing up the Administration -and themselves?

  1. So CNN wants to thank Fox News and Project Veritas for their service to journalism?
    It isn’t even sincere bullshit.

  2. DOH! Just realizing that I posted this on the wrong thread. Should have been on the first one.

  3. BossHoss, I am not sure I want Trump for four more years.
    Trump essentially crippled or killed the Bush/Cheney/Romney US Chamber of Commerse wing of the GOP, good enough for me, it ain’t coming back.
    Trump: “Maka America Great Again!”
    Romney: “Lose Slower!”

  4. Boss, Trump is like the girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead: when he was good, he was very very good. When he was bad, he was horrid. he’ll always have the base, but it’s those in between voters that make all the difference. We can’t be certain the Dems will nominate Hilary again. She couldn’t beat a ham sandwich.

  5. We can’t be certain the Dems will nominate Hilary again. She couldn’t beat a ham sandwich.

    Hell, I’d take a vegan tofu sandwich with a side of dog sh*t over Hillary.
