So, Megyn Kelly, irrelevant harridan desperate for the limelight, has apparently been interviewing men that claimed to have "served with" Tim Walz, calling him a "military impersonator", whatever that is.

Of course, the right is eating it up. But this crap has been debunked again and again. Makes me wonder if these guys were promised something or whatever.

Bitter Megyn will chase any trend. I imagine this is getting extra push now because of the Arlington fiasco. The only people who even listen to her are brain dead cultists who will only ever vote for Trump anyway.

Here's Semafor Ben, spreading paper-thin claims that his pal in Beltway smugness Olivia Nuzzi lost a big publicity campaign because of Democrats who were mad at her and didn't understand that her years of racist and bigoted tweets against Obama were "jokes." (no mention of her devotion for Richard Spencer and Ann Coulter) And of course a whine from her that when the right targets journalists, no one cares, but the left complains and she is punished.

This reminds me of the time when one of the other members at my mom's former church printed a quote from Nietzsche in the program for some church-related event (can't remember which atm).  Of course, the difference here is that Sister Patrice was just ignorant as hell, lol.

The NYT has a lot more of its friends in media this weekend circling the wagons and clucking about how the libs are being unfair to the one great paper that does such hard work, and besides it doesn't matter since Republicans don't read them anyway so what is the point of criticizing the coverage. The constant cognitive dissonance in this explanation (we're important and are informing you ungrateful libs, but also none of this matters so don't blame us) continues to fascinate me. Point being: The Dem attacks on the Times and Beltway media have gotten sharper and more sustained in the last few months and they are really feeling it.

WaPo is circling the drain, too. Its editorial board had an Op-Ed yesterday ostensibly comparing the candidates - but mainly picking apart Kamala Harris for being vague with not ONE mention of TRUMP's lack of policies.

It got over 10K responses and caused many within to actually cancel their subscriptions. Myself included.

Yet the media wonders why Dems are turning to alternative methods to get their message out.

This tweet, in reply to Nate Silver doing what you've mentioned, says it all:

I was not shocked to see Josh Dawsey pitching to praise the shill who wrote all these articles (who also gleefully tweeted an ugly painting of Harris and Biden on sale at the Moms for Hitler rally). As mentioned above, Washington Post is no better.

The thing is, even Bill Clinton once confronted a journalist on camera when he still was in the WH, and he said (and I'm paraphrasing), "There are many, worthwhile things that my party/administration is trying to do, but I know you won't report on any of it, because all you care about is selling newspapers."* People either overlooked or dismissed his comments, because they were considering the source; but just as he and Hillary were right about how you can't bring a knife to a gun fight with the GOP, he also was right about the state of American journalism today.

(*I wish I could where and when I saw this moment exactly, and whether it's available online, because, as it turns out, it fits where the MSM is today.)

He also said (as James Carville quoted in an actually pretty good op-ed I posted in the Politics Thread) 'strong and wrong beats weak and right'. And he was correct about that re: the GOP approach back then and often in the 21st century. Dems have the wind at their backs and some aggression in the mix now, but they need more and they need to sustain it. The press are not our friends.

What he's campaigned for all along! I will not be tuning in to see his puppet-like rictus grin 24-7. Maybe he'll finally change his 20 year old profile pic to celebrate.

Victoria Lord, take the wheel (the full screencap can be clicked on to view):

    • 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
