I wonder if the big journalism thinkers think this idea deserves to be part of the mix.And the system, even though it's fucked up, is better than having no system at all. Because the system they are enforcing is flushing our system down the toilet. That's why, sorry to say - I'm not sad to see the enforcers of journalism at CNN and other news orgs get fired.We're one election away from becoming an openly fascist country. We view what Trump does negatively, but what about the other journalism as the sole judge approach? It doesn't work any better for us, in fact you'd have to say at this time that approach is losing.They work hard to say nothing for fear of provoking a new scandal in the press. The Dems on the other hand accept the rules of journalism, which over decades has come to mean avoid saying anything, so everything Dems say comes out more and more like mush.His only response is to flood the zone with bullshit as Bannon says. He doesn't explain why he had the stolen documents. Okay - Trump doesn't play by the rules of journalism.The amount of actual news reporting on both networks is pitifully small. After all if the Mets can buy players from Cleveland or the Dodgers, why can't MNBC buy an actor from Fox News to play for them. Maybe MSNBC could just hire Carlson to work for them. And it's kind of obvious (imho) that Hayes has been going to the Tucker Carlson School School of Acting. Every time they report conventional wisdom, they have driven far off course, they are no longer doing news, they are doing self-butthole examination. Sorry for screaming, but this is such a waste, and how could anyone possibly care about this. This is now horserace journalism of a higher order, the horserace we're judging is how well Hayes et al were doing at predicting the outcome of the election, which btw, is a theoretical thing because (pause here) THE FUCKING ELECTION STILL HASN'T HAPPENED.
The show opens with an in-detail horse race story that said basically we fucked up and it wasn't a foregone conclusion that the Repubs would take Congress in the upcoming midterm election as we have been reporting since just after the 2020 election. So I expected there would be something interesting on MSNBC. I heard that the DoJ had released the heavily redacted memo by former Attorney General Barr, the one that basically said that the Mueller Report (that we hadn't at the time seen) was a Nothingburger, without the redactions. The Mets weren't playing last night, and I'm kind of burning out on My Brilliant Friend (I'll get back to it) so I sat down to watch Chris Hayes on MSNBC.
