The Media/Journalism Thread

The media knows that if they keep throwing all these little knives out - claims of Harris lying, all the tut-tutting over her not answering the "first day" question clearly enough, claims that Harris has something to hide about her race - it will create a narrative for voters who don't pay a lot of attention. The same with all the smears about Tim Walz. It's loathsome and shows how they have fully given the game away. Yet given how close the race is and how much Trump's support is undercounted, they clearly see an opening to push him over. I've never trusted the media, but even then, I'm agog at how they encourage and enable Trump's blithe promises of mass deportations or free IVF for everyone.

I still read Weigel's tweets in spite of better judgment as he covers a lot of stuff and sometimes I agree with his takes, but his encouraging the homophobic pile-on of Pete Buttigieg never leaves my mind.

They're just desperate to derail the Dems and make it a much closer horse race than I suspect it will end up being. They never like it when Dems are happy or in command. The Kamala train has been running full steam since the end of July and they're straining to slow it down. Hasn't happened yet.

An embarrassing piece which admits in the headline and briefly in the article that Vance is wildly unpopular with Americans, then dives into mostly a puff piece about how open he is with media, 'self-assured' and beloved by Trump.

The fact that most of us already knew that this was going to happen doesn’t make it any less satisfying. Yes, I also know that this will only mildly bite the Saudi and Qatari investors but still to watch the value of Jack’s shares tumble and so precipitously, well, it tickles me.

Musk’s Twitter investors have lost billions in value

This media dude got ratioed on the original tweet and has been whining about it for the whole weekend, followed by some even more deeply embarrassing replies. He's just mouthing the same excuses re: covering Trump voters from way back to just after 2016, followed by a rather pathetic plea that more critical coverage could lead to 'backlash'.

The fact is, there were millions who supported Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party and they were - pardon the pun - dead wrong.

In the end, the NYT (and the rest of the MSM) have an obligation to nothing and no one except the truth.  Point blank, period, end of discussion, thanks for stopping by.

    • 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
