The Media/Journalism Thread

Stelter is once again getting ratioed.

 

The push by seemingly moderate or well-meaning and almost entirely white journalists to create a 'liberals are too cautious about/addicted to the pandemic' is an attempt to create a new #BothSides framework on this topic. The Beltway and cable media are deeply uncomfortable with not having an equal sides synergy to apply to the current status quo with the GOP and the right hosting antivaxxers and unsafe people in the pandemic, so they are pushing the unsupportable idea that on the other side, the left and Democrats are 'too cautious' and 'want to keep it going'.

 

It's also very much about privileged, well-heeled pundits who are either already vaxxed or in blue states or both wanting to move on and go back to brunch already, and are impatient with the rest of us.

The Beltway types have been pushing this narrative for a year now, sped up even more when they feverishly tried to make this a wedge issue for Biden before settling on border hysteria. I saw Seth Mandel, the right winger who is an enabler of his hatemonger wife (who said she was fine with killing old people in order for her kids to be in school), using this article to claim people who are cautious about reopening are just like Tucker Carlson.

 

And the statistics are BS too.

Now that the increasingly self-decimating deadend/grifter left is obsessing over Ryan Knight wearing a "Medicare 4 All" beret that makes him look like he reenacts Shirley Temple movies for tiktok, here's another reminder of the allegations that he invented stories about a sick dog to steal money from followers.

    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
