for the media to start holding the republicans accountable for supporting this shit show of a presidency? What exactly does it take? What the fuck are you waiting for? Are you trying to be civil? Aren't we beyond civility at this point? Do you also support the needless deaths of American citizens? The looting of our treasury? You speak in such measured reasonable ways concerning the actions of a man who is clearly insane. A man who ships PPE and medical supplies to other countries and denies it to Americans. An unbalanced imbecile who actually brings the "My Pillow" guy to the coronavirus presser. You have a responsibility to put an end to this and stop treating this cretin as if he is an actual human being. Start reporting on these people as the criminals they are. They should be held accountable for this. DO SOMETHING you fools. Fuck your bosses. Apparently you don't want to tell the people of this country how seriously dangerous Trump is. Everyone knows except the media. DO YOUR FUCKING JOB! Are you journalists or game show hosts? Assholes!

(527 posts)Cant they come up with a scientist to do a daily factual briefing. Even better would be a series of scientific sources to report. We are getting a trump rally every day to prop up his fragile ego which is not helpful to any of us.

He also called on management. Surprising how he challenged them to shut it down. Maybe he is old enough he does not give a crap if they fire him. He thinks the boring reality show should be ended.

(17,984 posts)Any excuses, he called on Management. It was obvious he was laying the blame.
BTW, just came from Krogers, almost completely stocked. I Senate at 7 AM. Bought Kroger Barney TP, compared to Great Northern plush. I will be using it from now on. One skid load, going fast.

In Michigan, from all the reports, schools are going to be closed for the rest of the year. I expect much of the country to do the same. This is unprecedented.
I think people are more and more seeing that this president is in over his head. He doesn't take responsibility. He continues to blame others.
I can see Biden winning with Obama 2008 numbers.

(1,898 posts)Mainstream media soft peddles to maintain their access. It's a fucking carnival - you're right.
Existing media model needs to be destroyed - and that won't happen short of
laws penalizing blatant falsehoods. I don't think the first amendment is in the way - but
others here do. Corporate media needs citizen boards for oversight at the very least.
What people don't realize is that MM doesn't need robust ad revenue stream - b/c it's
value resides primarily as a propaganda tool.
