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:

pressrun.media/archive
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

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…

"David Weiss has been investigating Hunter Biden for going on six years. in all that time, Weiss hadn't obtained a warrant to search iCloud content he first started getting until December 4, 2023—81 days after he indicted" @emptywheel 🔥 emptywheel.net/2024/01/26/con…
Image
@emptywheel reading Marcy's superb scoop (in combination with reneging on diversion) it's hard not to wonder which shouty RW f*cksticks are in Weiss' ear

@emptywheel interesting to wonder what AG Garland will do with the revelation that Weiss tried to clean up assertions in discovery by hastily looking for evidence, which ended up being flawed anyways

so Drumpf's backbench-apprentice and Diet Coke butler Johnny McEntee SCHEMED OUTSIDE OFFICIAL CHANNELS using forged documents to withdraw from Afghanistan and **Biden** is the one who did it wrong? Image
President Biden still gets dragged by media types/Qpubs for partnering with allies and drawing down by the book

we'll take retractions and apologies right now, thanks.

dunno when ABC News' @jonkarl learned about this hot mess but woulda been nice to know in-the-moment and not eons later

tfw Elmo's algos paired 2 tweets on my TL that perfectly illustrate his favors for the mob top tweet: Twitter pals Kaz Weida quoting Mark Elliott discussing how Space Karen assisted KSA in disappearing critics; below we have Anthony posting a screencap of Dave Shafer who's gleeful over getting his account monetized. whether it's Dixie or Transnational, it's all The Mob
first, @kazweida quotes @markmobility's tweet about Elmo/Xitter approving Bonesaw Mob's demands for user data at FAR HIGHER rates

and yep it's exactly what we warned about




Saudi Arabia is a disgraced-mob state and bonesaw terrorist

@kazweida @markmobility as I've repeatedly said Elmo's ownership of this sh*thole is rolling-#natsec disaster

“notable collection of Fourth Estaters spent debate-night eve with Tr•mp campaign staffers even though [former guy] skipped the forum” collection of journalists inexplicably wanting access to corrupt fascists
.@DanaBashCNN: why did you agree to dine with dangerous, corrupt fascists at a steakhouse? any comment? Image

Sid Powell is taking a nice, slow, ice-cold tubby in "FIND OUT" bathwater
@gregolear dunno @gregolear feel like @lifetimetv or @hallmarkchannel would entertain a movie-of-the-week pitch "From legal briefs to boxer briefs: The @JeffClarkUS Story" Jeff Clark, sedition architect and pantsless, soon-to-be-ex lawyer, pictured here deliciously humiliated
@gregolear @lifetimetv @hallmarkchannel @JeffClarkUS omg this is perfect @geargodd absolutely no notes whatsoever
