Yesterday’s show was as another exercise in clairvoyance. I don’t think we’re ever going to see a plurality of journalism that properly reflects Trumps’s depravity & corruption. Never mind Putin’s. Not sure I’ll ever fully understand why.

Maybe insight will come during your holiday. Now, stop posting and bugger off to enjoy a break with your family. Trump and Putin will still be having their ongoing love-in when you get back, so concentrate on recharging your batteries for later.

The media is largely owned by billionaires. Right wing fascist politicians are either billionaires or are propped up by billionaires. The dual aim is to protect their wealth and protect the power. This is why no serious condemnation will be printed in mainstream media.

I can understand the US journalists not holding him to account. Whilst it's deplorable they're clearly concerned about banishment and trumps desire for revenge. The people on this side of the pond not speaking up is ridiculous though.

I was pleasantly surprised to hear the words of Lyse Doucett on the BBC in the leadup to HairFarce1 landing in Alaska. She was pretty scathing about Trump and his acolytes. I wonder if her days are numbered. 🤣

There are some nuggets of gold in the rivers of shit. They are few and far between. As I say, I can understand it, to a certain extent. But I guess if you go into that profession and report on these people it goes with the territory. The politicians feathering their nest are the scum of the earth.

It is traumatizing to me that Trump goes unscathed in the all the news outlets. I find very little to no positive outcome from his governance.

Because many news owners believe in abuse of power more than they believe in any healthy functioning democracy. And many journalists are frustrated or stuck in enabling a broken industry.

Enjoy the holiday James, no use trying to make sense of Trump, his ramblings are not that of a sane man. You forecast, what most people knew, that nothing would come of this idiocy. The fact that this criminal was welcomed on a red carpet. Well it says it all about Trumps lack of understanding.

Ownership and publishing of news sources has almost always been in conservative hands. Control of reporters, even enlightened ones, could be with a light touch - liberalism sold well. Now, with more direct competition for eyeballs, the influence has to be more heavy handed and not even truthful…!

I would suggest, JOB, one of the reasons is that some in the mainstream media see politics etc as just another branch of show business. This is something Trump fully understands.

Clearly Putin has video evidence of Trumps lack of moral behaviour. Of which there is known to be at least the ‘Pee Tapes’. But with Putin’s KGB background, it would be of no surprise, has evidence of Trumps misdemeanours on Epstein Island.

If Russia can hack the DNC within minutes of Yam Tits making the request, they can hack wherever the Epstein files are stored. The files are always spoken about as if there’s only the one copy. There will be multiple copies stored within Police, Prosecution, Defence, victims’ solicitors, court …

Like post-Brexit UK with it's anti-European credentials has any leverage or credibility. How's that EU branch of NATO looking now? I asked the question of an Admiral in 2008 about a EU Army and was met with the standard NATO line. Economies of Scale are a no brainer, this is basic economics stuff.

The last 9 years have been a marvellous window into what was previously thought of as a serious, principled profession (tabloids exempted, obvs). As it turns out, journalism overwhelmingly isn't. It's been very instructive.

this has been going on since at least 2000 (what they did to Gore was shocking). One could argue 1980 w/ the press' fawning over Reagan (& that was before Fox). Reagan didn't earn the moniker 'Teflon Ron' by himself... he was never held to account by the press. They let him off for Iran-Contra.

Oh definitely. But the last 9 years have really accelerated the decline (on both sides of the Atlantic) and have let us all know that a huge amount of 'journalists' are no longer worthy of that title. Real journalism now, tends to be the independent variety.
