Mark Halperin with face hair figures out a thing

from Wonkette:



Chuck Todd Figures Out Thing

Oh, Chuck Todd. You are precious. You make eleventy-million dollars a fortnight to sit around on Sunday mornings and tell everybody how Both Sides Do It on “Meet The Press.” You make extra dollars doing an unnecessary TV show called “Meet The Press Daily,” which is really pretty good when Katy Tur guest hosts it. You spent all of last year yelling “BUT HER EMAILS,” while those of us in the actual journalism community (the triumvirate is Mother Jones, Washington Post and the Wonkette Times obviously) were like “Russia? Trump? Trump Russia? Russia Trump? Stop on the Hillary emails investigation, it’s bullshit. Stop obsessing over the WikiLeaks John Podesta emails, it’s mostly risotto recipes. STOP IT. GODDAMMIT YOU ARE THE WORST, WHY ARE YOU EMPLOYED?”

You are Mark Halperin with face hair. For you everything is brand new, at all times. You are a goldfish. (With face hair.)

But now that Donald Trump is president you are like “OMG THERE IS A TRUMP-RUSSIA SCANDAL OMG BREAKING NEWS!” Golly what a weird story! And you’re mighty disturbed by how Trump treats the news media, as he calls your network and all other normal journalism outlets FAKE NEWS. It’s not nice, and it threatens to keep you from doing your finest work, which is opening your hairy-faced goldfish mouth and telling all your viewers about how Both Sides Do It...

And now, you are realizing something, and you’re frightened:

and it's working out well among trump's most fervent cultists.

i read part of the direct responses to Donald jr's tweeting of his own email thread the other day. i kid you not one of them was "this is fake news"

seriously. so well trained that if it's a negative to their new god, it cannot be real, even if it comes directly from the trumps themselves. unreal

...but they are surrounded by enough assholes who can take advantage of the confusion they sow.

It's just that Trump, a man of no accomplishments, has always had to paint unflattering media attention as untrustworthy--even as he has pursued the spotlight.

He also works to repel viewers like myself from watching TV overall. There's just too much misinformation coming from shills like him. Sad, because it overshadows the work of hard working journalists.
