Biden's negative coverage is product of "media’s addiction to conflict and unending desire for cohesive narrative" @Sulliview 🎯
washingtonpost.com/media/2022/04/…
speaking of addiction: @EricBoehlert's catch-phrase was "Dems in disarray is a helluva drug" 🎯🎯🎯

via @bryrsmith
"media addicted to adrenaline rush of non-stop news during Tr_mp years as he ransacked White House and obliterated norms" @EricBoehlert

contrived conflict is for screenwriters, not journalists cc: @MelissaJPeltier @Sulliview @MediaBusters6
Chuck Todd kicks off today's MTP with inflation nonsense because #conflict
"What’s missing from inflation coverage is consistent acknowledgement that rising prices is a global phenomenon, fueled by the pandemic" @EricBoehlert

"inflation" is a fake buzzword

pressrun.media/p/inflations-a…
today's "This Week" wonders "can Sarah win?!" and leads segment with Fixed Noise clip
Entertainment Tonight-ing of ABC News definitely causing Peter Jennings to twirl in the afterlife
and finally in today's Eric Boehlert-inspired Sunday roundup: CBS News

don't EVEN get me started on this hot mess JFC
today's "Face the Nation" surprisingly light on Qpubs save for tfg's FDA operative Scott Gottlieb
CBS News typed up this garbage quote and laundered Gottlieb's reputation as "COVID analyst"—mere months *after* Ukraine scandal proved EVERY DFG ACTION IS FOR PERSONAL GAIN

@MediaBusters6 @KIResists @BaddCompani @carrybeyond @100FrogLegs @UROCKlive1 @taradublinrocks @MrTAchilles
tfg on-tape admitting to ratf**king COVID testing so Diaper Baby could feel better about himself cbsnews.com/news/scott-got…
Eric Boehlert's PressRun.Media is now posthumous/essential encyclopedia for those of us who want to carry on his work

robust search function here:

my blog is CrankyYank.com and (when not writing about Adele's latest hit single) I drag media across a shag carpet for conflict-for-clicks operation

Guthrie's stink-bomb interview with MVP comes to mind

Beltway journalists who musingly wonder why Biden's approval is just so gosh darn low is infuriating-performative wonderment h/t @prf5

swear to god I could write a sitcom based on tonight’s events alone

pull up a chair #SingleDadLife Image
we’re getting ready for #BathTime and I hear my 2 kids, human and furry, roughhousing. totally normal. all of a sudden—

“ouch! daddy!”

(I was in the other room getting the bath robe)
I went in and saw him bleeding from his mouth. Jackson had knocked his baby tooth loose (apparently, according to a 5-year-old 😂) with his paw

we both remained remarkably calm

put an ice cube in a paper towel and had him clamp down on it. all good.

will Ohio go blue? dunno. but these nitwits are making a good case for it Image
are Ohio voters paying attention to Qpubs’ declaration of war on Buckeye State, @leesgirl9?
@leesgirl9 Ohio repubs have nothing but contempt for their own state

fascinating part about Biden being old is that trump raped kids

🎩 @kim Image
media outlets all working for #TheRapist so we ride at dawn—

#TrumpIsARapist

🎩 @maddenifico

@maddenifico yes indeed, media will continue sucking until November and beyond

as your liberal helper I wrote a post highlighting moments when Beltway journos failed to call for drumpf's ouster #Unfit crankyyank.com/2024/07/05/all…

inevitable outcome for in-over-her-head flamenco blogger Aileen Cannon
"Judge Cannon" is a spectacular misnomer because she's just another #RobedOperative like Clarence Thomas and Alito. but GOT DANG if Jack Smith didn't tear her a new one

🎩 @glennkirschner2


Image
@glennkirschner2 Smith's hair is on fire bc Cannon, via #RobedOperative rulings, is promising to taint the jury with false instructions

a cornerstone for any trial, jury instructions are supposed to ensure defendants get due process—not a f**king get-out-of-jail-free card en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_inst…

NBC's @cbudoffbrown: "important moment to have a voice like Ronna's on the team"

a voice like this?

"do not sign it. we will get you attorneys"

@cbudoffbrown @AmoneyResists @johnknefel .@RonnaMcDaniel wasn't just furthering an election-subversion scheme—she was ALSO at least material witness to physical threats against election workers in Michigan

hired by @NBCNews.

@cbudoffbrown @AmoneyResists @johnknefel @RonnaMcDaniel @NBCNews on no planet/in no universe does a news org "need" this "voice"
