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.

    • BITD I was posting about how interesting it was that Denise had been with this same guy for simply years but they just did not marry - then that year they married! 
    • Random takes from this week: - Bill’s been played way too soft by the actor. I just can’t buy him doing anything truly sinister. I wish he had more of that old-school Victor Newman edge. - On characterization: I’m fine with Leslie being shown as a narcissistic and cruel mother—as long as she doesn’t tip into full cartoon villain territory. Dani’s involvement in Nicole’s storyline feels natural to me, and I really like that Martín is such a hothead, which totally clashes with his polished political career. No wonder no one wants to confide in him. Also, I don’t mind Haley’s characterization at all. - I’m still annoyed they dropped the whole lawsuit storyline. That’s why I’m a bit hesitant about getting too invested in the June plot. Also: I can do without another instant-sibling storyline. - Ashley and Derek? Totally fine with them in small doses. That’s the best way to handle those two. - Thank God Ted is getting recast. I honestly couldn’t handle that constant swaying much longer. - Speaking of Ted: maybe I’m in the minority here, but that hotel set is hideous. The oversized boiserie makes everything look flat, and that artwork on the wall? Bland, ugly, and lifeless. - I’m 50/50 on the product placement. On one hand, it’s totally misplaced and campy—especially when it shows up in the middle of emotional scenes. It just feels wrong. But on the other hand… here we are talking about Febreze and Tide. So maybe it is working? I honestly don’t know. - I don’t have any issues with the fashion on the show overall, but André’s wardrobe is just off. Not in terms of style, but size. His tops are way too tight and actually make him look even shorter than he is. Same goes for Smitty. Both of them would seriously benefit from some larger blazers or chunkier sweaters.

      Didn't know about this song. LOL. Lyrics - Junkies down in Brooklyn are going crazy They're laughing, just like hungry dogs in the street Policemen are hidin' behind the skirts of little girls Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Catholic school girls have thrown away their mascara They chain themselves to the axles of Big Mack trucks The sky is filled with herds of shivering angels The fat lady laughs, "Gentlemen, start your trucks" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave no, no (Christina) no, no, no, no, no (Come to mother) no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... (Christina) Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
