comingafteryouall posted:Yeah MSM really hates covering any kind of actual issues but their gossip coverage of Trump was harsh. Unfortunately, Trump defined the argument for the issues of the economy and trade so people who honestly don't care about the president doing terrible things in his personal life and are OK with him saying "politically incorrect" (aka racist or xenophobic) things were totally on board and no amount of stupid gossip coverage was going to change their minds. Pretty much this. You know just as well as I do that they'll do exactly what happened when Bush was in office and stop any claim the person is lying once they win and are actually in office. They'll talk about breaches of decorum and obsess over it because that offends their 'journalistic sensibilities' but they'll immediately legitimize his ideas simply by repeating them because in their minds you can't say "Hey, by the way, what he's proposing is illegal". gently caress, you could see it on CNN LITERALLY as he was winning. Once Wisconsin was called on election night the rhetoric changed and did a 180 from "I can't believe this fucker is running" to "Well he's the president and as a newscaster with facts I have to admire his surprise winning streak". This same thing happened with Bush who would do something no one gives a gently caress about like making up a word or something, meanwhile they'd refuse to say "by the way, there's zero actual evidence Saddam has nuclear weapons, and even if he did the first thing he'd do if we invaded is loving use them when he loses." Like, no one gives a gently caress about his financial conflicts of interest. Bush had them. Clinton had them. HW had them. Reagan had them. Obama probably does if I had to guess but I honestly don't loving know.

mugrim posted:I saw Chuck Todd last night literally asking "If Trump says things we know to be untrue, should we report it at all? How can you cover something that's not true but also be a good journalist by telling people exactly what the president says? Newscasters can't just say the president is lying that'd be editorializing". Sleepy Eyes Chuck... Ugh tho, 4 real. frakeaing HAMSTER DANCE posted:To be fair, they covered him extremely negatively. It was always about the dumb poo poo he said and after the pussy grabbing comments came out, they actually shifted to a "can he even compete now?" narrative. To be fair? Yer fkn taking the piss m8  It was tabloid journalism for rating milkage and even Trump shuttered Clinton out on coverage. People were eating this poo poo up while the rest are like Jobs tho??? And the Media is "10 things Trump did that wuz absolutely curazee!!!" Plus Trump is a shithead who did bad things which is why he got negative coverage and then he gets all pouty because his actions have consequences. You're talking about an rear end in a top hat who dodged taxes because it makes him smart, and was able to declare bankruptcy 4 times and walk out without a dent. Culpability is not his thing, and the issue here is not his negative coverage. The issue here is that the MSM just went "look at that bad thing, huh that was pretty wild right? (please click our articles)" They both are garbage at culpability, thats the one thing they have in common. They could be besties, really because of all the symbiosis and commonality they share. But the cosmos has an ironic sense of humor, and alas~

SpaceGoku posted:I wish their coverage of him was purely negative (or even just mostly negative) this is also true. It's another form of gossip coverage. "What outrageous thing is Trump going to say next?" was the modus operandi for the MSM the entire election. They could have focused coverage on any number of Eichenwald or washington post articles but chose to ignore those issues.

since this is the Democratic thread Nancy Pelosi beats back challenge, is chosen as House Democratic leader quote:House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) on Wednesday won the race to lead the Democratic caucus for an eighth term, prevailing in a contest that became a vote of confidence in her continued stewardship and an early proxy battle over the future of the Democratic Party.

Reporting facts is not loving editorializing, you dipshit. Providing context is not loving editorializing. Helping your viewers understand the situation you are reporting on is not loving editorializing. Uncritically repeating poo poo you know to be false is loving stupid, though, and just as much a derilection of your journalistic duties as "editorializing" would be!

Our best representative is a septagenerarian billionaire with the charisma of antique roadkill and their opinion is "Don't feel bad about November!" Nancy Pelosi's job is to keep cohesiveness among House Democrats, a task which she has performed admirably. The fact that she's a lightning rod for attacks from the right shouldn't factor into it at all. I'll agree that her response the other night on MSNBC was bizarre ("He didn't win his district for Hillary so he sucks"), but it's not a reason to drum her out of leadership.

Fortunately Pelosi is really really good at raising money from good and rear end in a top hat people, but it isn't Pelosi's fault November happened, versus anybody else with direct control over the day-to-day of the '16 Clinton campaign. The coasts have been blamed, but the coasts voted the way they said they would actually vote. edit: I guess right now GOP fundraising emails name Pelosi, it won't be long before they name Ellison constantly.

Her job is to keep Democratic congressmen who have already been elected in line and make them vote for things, or not, as necessary. She has no connection to Presidential elections other than that she's a prominent enough name that Republicans hate her, which is true for any Democrat whose name they know. Replacing her wouldn't really accomplish anything beyond a symbolic protest.
