Down the tubes, down the tubes — when media treats the present presidential condition like it deserves normal treatment. Chris Hayes in Wisconsin is the point in fact.
Lots of politesse so as not to appear overly partisan and what gets said, other than the few points that Bernie managed to sneak in. But where were the facts concerning Trump’s statements that go so far right, alt right frankly when he refused to disavow the alt right’s actions and statements, not to mention all the other wing nut statements and lies. The crowd was clearly fooled by Trump and did the unacceptable sidestepping the facts of the campaign to rationalize their votes against Hillary. The campaign was an atrocity in all counts of respectable election decorum, and crazy tantrums and Hitlerian gestures stood where they should have been condemned by any sensible American on the spot.
Now the media engages in the pathetic coverage of cabinet appointments and follows once again the Trumpian guessing game. Appointments are argued in round tables on the news networks and only Michael Moore at 10:45 Tuesday night on MSNBC with Lawrence O’Donnell puts the real cards on the table. As though it is unimaginable how normal, rational people cannot see the egregious contradictions and false posturing going on. Not to mention, wholly dangerous conditions created with military and Goldman Sachs CEOs etc. The foxes never had better access to the hen houses of America and boy are we out for a very rough ride. Go and hide the truth people because it may soon put you in the firing line.
