it's almost hard to describe how hard the DC press crucified Obama during the Ebola scare.

Trump gets a complete pass
me, 2015: mediamatters.org/rush-limbaugh/…
I fleshed all this out in a new column.

it’s from my media newsletter, where I go in-depth, 3x a week, with media commentary in the age of Trump.

my latest—Somewhere in that crowded White House press corps, isn't there just one person thinking, 'I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore'? pressrun.media/p/why-wont-jus…
how do reporters watch those incoherent coronavirus briefings and not have one person snap, blurt out “what the f**k are you talking about??”

I’m always amazed no WH reporter ever snaps and says, “What the f**k are you talking about??”
I mean, if a celebrity were this consistently incoherent, he or she would catch flak in the press.

but POTUS does not. it’s just lots of nodding from reporters and pretending he’s sane

my latest — let's rescue the debates from the entertainment industry, where they currently reside.

pressrun.media/p/tv-debates-d…
"In the name of reclaiming the debates let’s get rid of the audience. Get rid of the $1,700 tickets. Get rid of the rooting sections. Scrap all of it."
“Over years, the debates have been turned into something they don't need to be. We don't need spaceship-sized stages that sometimes look like something out of a Marvel movie. “

Rush Limbaugh's bigotry set the stage for Trump's takeover of the Republican Party
mediamatters.org/rush-limbaugh/…
Limbaugh spent decades showing one could use racism, misogyny, conspiracy theories, smears, and right-wing talking points to attract a huge audience get rich, and become a GOP leader. It was inevitable that a political entrepreneur would use the same mix in a national election.
Conservatives from George H.W. Bush on down were happy to look past Limbaugh's transgressions because of the value he brought to the party. Some said he was right, others made excuses, others were silent.
