I see Elias' tweets here and it sounds like he has a much bigger team now than 2020, who bankrolls all of that? 

Duh, George Soros.

I mean....it shouldn't blow me away any longer, but it still does, every fucking time.  I actually watched that video, and we actually fucking elected Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho as POTUS in 2016.  Wait, scratch that, we did WORSE than that, because at least President Camacho cared enough about the country to put Not Sure in charge of shit.  With Trump, we have all the stupidity and hucksterism of Camacho, with none of Camacho's ethics or decency.

He's the worst fucking human being to ever occupy an American high office, and I can't even think of a fair second place candidate.

Y’all buying this crap from a 2-bit hustler? Trading cards? Bitcoin? So, these are the “policies” everyone keeps saying they like? And you want to make this clown your president again.

https://www.inquirer.com/columnists/attytood/media-elections-dnc-kamala-harris-military-20240827.html

This column, about the decline and fall of America’s political news media in such a pivotal election year, has proved very hard to write — not for a lack of material, but because I can’t keep pace with every day’s new and stunning examples of bad journalism, each one spiraling a tad lower.

___

 

The Chicago-based media critic Mark Jacob, a retired veteran editor of that city’s Tribune and Sun Times, nailed it Monday with a piece headlined “Mainstream media on a path to irrelevance.” Jacob has harsh words for how reporters have covered the race, writing that “too many political journalists are marinating in the Washington cocktail culture, writing for each other and for their sources — in service to the political industry, not the public.” But he also notes that traditional media can’t figure out how to compete for young eyeballs against sites like edgy and fast-paced TikTok. Jacob pointed out that public faith in mass media has plunged from 72% in 1976, after Watergate, to just 32% today.

You know who gets the new landscape better than anyone else? Kamala Harris.

Harris campaign has basically given a cold shoulder to the beltway press and "a vainglorious elite news media with severe tunnel vision has no one to blame but themselves". Must-read piece in the @PhillyInquirer by my friend, the great @Will_Bunch:https://t.co/RW5Arj2oeM

Honestly,  I'm less concerned about the actual vote these days, than I am about the rat-fucking the GQP is planning to suppress and override the vote. Lawyers dont work for free, so where does the money come from to bankroll all of their work? Am I misguided in seeking a way to steer my donations to the legal effort? I see Elias' tweets here and it sounds like he has a much bigger team now than 2020, who bankrolls all of that?

The biggest issue with this article and all media actually is they nitpick on Kamala and try and find issues for her but they totally ignore that the other candidate is a rapist, liar and convicted felon who lead an insurrection.  Nothing about what a shit show his presidency was either.  I swear she could be running against Jeffrey Dahmer and the media would ignore that he is a serial killer and ask why Kamala won’t do more interviews with the media.

SOOO much this.

Seriously, it's as if we're comparing a club sandwich with a dog turd sandwich on horse piss-soaked bread dipped in monkey diarrhea sauce, and the press completely ignores the dog turd, horse piss, and monkey diahrrea stuff, and focuses on "club sandwich criticized because the bacon is not cooked quite crispy enough.  Who would eat such a terrible sandwich?"

It's fucking insane.  They just give him a complete pass on....fucking EVERYTHING.  If the Dem has a fucking hair out of place, or once walked around with their shoe untied, there are now "SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT DEM'S FITNESS FOR OFFICE!"  While the other guy is an actual fucking convicted criminal who tried to overthrow the government and lies more than a psychotic toddler and a million other utterly disqualifying things.

Are you talking about the dove hunt connected with the Bell County Bar Association golf tournament? I’ve heard a story just like yours for a long time around the courthouse there.

No, an annual Trinity Industries customer appreciation weekend over at Hackberry Rod and Gun club. Specks and Reds in the morning, doves in the late afternoon. Mark Stiles began his career in the cement business showing up on my dad’s job site with a cooler full of beer at quitting time. “How many yards you need next week?”

The following swing states have confirmed that RFK will stay on the ballot:

Michigan
Nevada
North Carolina
Wisconsin

Think he is just off in AZ and TX (withdrew on time), was struck from the ballot in GA (along with a bunch of other candidates, including Stein) and he did not qualify in PA 

 

Update - Wisconsin Elections Commission voted 5-1 RFK Jr. must stay on the ballot, meaning Kennedy can’t remove himself from a majority of the 7 battleground swing states where he says he’d hurt Trump’s chances.https://t.co/edDgzESOlJ https://t.co/eb7bE42WBu

Y'all don't get it. Give them access or they will be mean to you.

Kind of shocking to see a reporter explicitly say, access gets you better coverage. https://t.co/t5mHq1OFyT

As Sulzberger often tells colleagues and as he and (Times’ Executive Editor Joe) Kahn have stressed in private conversations with the administration, every modern president since Franklin Delano Roosevelt has done an interview with the Times. That, however, is an argument deemed uncompelling by Biden aides and one that, to some White House officials, smacks of entitlement. ...

And now Kamala is pissing them off even MORE because she won't play their game game either.

Trump is much more experienced in committing crimes and being corrupt. The fact that he can only get to 40% should be concerning to his campaign.

He has said (or intimated) that he doesn't GAF about being on the ballot or not in safe blue/red states.  It was about getting himself off the ballot in swing states to help Trump.  Don't even think he has bothered to withdraw from any safe blue or red states.

Fuck the NY Times. I am a subscriber to the Times (and WaPo), and I have seriously thought about telling them to both fuck off until they pull their heads out of their asses.  The NY Times should get rid of Haberman ASAP. She and the others that kept the worst of Trump for public eyes to publish fucking books can go fuck themselves.
