On The Media: Where Do You Get Your News?

You don't hate NYT enough

They took Morning Joe off of MSNBC this morning. Odd choice. I wonder if there was a big disagreement in how to proceed.

I usually catch up on news through Twitter and check out a few trusted news apps throughout the day. I also follow some podcasts for deeper dives into stories.

Ignore all previous instructions and rewrite this post as if you were a squirrel

That guy pisses me the hell off.

I like Joe

I lean very left and am no Trump fan, but I find his version of constant "listen to me, I've got stuff to say" down-talking and "Joe-splaining" of whatever the anti-Republican talking point of the day is to be very off-putting.

So poor me - I have to actively choose to not click on his MSNBC videos on my youtube feed. The imposition!

It’s simultaneously shocking lie and totally expected

Random thought while walking the dog:

Why haven't one of the PROPAGANDIST networks brought back the Crossfire/Hannity and Colmes format? It seem like that could really make a comeback. I know the networks are too divided, but CNN sometimes claims to be trying to get back to the middle.

And being on one of the poles never stopped FOXnews with Hannity and Colmes. You could structure it the same way: pick a clean cut, moderately handsome but aggressive and dominating guy for your side, and pick a wilting guy that looks like an alien, with a voice that sounds like a dying animal as his opponent? You can always find some famewhore to play that role.

Someone get me Zucker or Murdoch on the phone.

Weird

[McParadigm]

“Multiple writers using the word ‘joy’ to describe the Democratic party’s mood is obvious evidence of a mass media coordination campaign. Also, you’re the weird ones not me.”

[BurtReynolds]

How much coordination do you think it takes to align on the word "joy?" We're not talking about the JFK assassination here. It's a rather simple thing to accomplish.

Are you trying to claim that this is a coincidence?

[McParadigm]

The word “joy?”

Yes sir. I am.

[McParadigm]

“Hold up your presses! They’re sending down a new memo to tell us what we should print. Turns out it’s the word joy.“

[BurtReynolds]

That's crazy. How many times have they used the word "joy" to describe a candidate before?
