Pretty sure I remember being up in the wee hours one night and watching some documentary about Earth ending disasters; in this episode of the documentary they go into what would happen if a black hole somehow passed by Earth; it would spaghettify the planet, but first the atmosphere and oceans would be drawn into space.

They actually showed submarines and their crews floating in space that were displaced along with the oceans, and said they would be the last fragments of humanity to survive, and either they'd eventually be drawn into the black hole or float forever in space with long-dead crews and really bad air.

Trump's toupee might also be floating around somewhere as the black hole would refuse to swallow it.

there's a p dece book about this called death from the skies

each chapter begins with a description of what that particular astronomical disaster would look like

apollo 13 would have just crashed instead of being a blockbuster movie had it been unmanned because remote control ai thingie aint got no hands to jury rig a fix

wasn't the thing that broke on Apollo 13 part of the life support system?

Either way, the entire point of Apollo 13 was to put people on the moon. It had to have people on it. A space military is just going to be for destroying satellites or dropping poo poo onto earth. You just need a space gun and a computer and some solar panels and thrusters or whatever.

Hi Chris, I'm curious as to whether or not you feel your approach to journalism can in any way be damaging to the public dialogue. In particular this statement ->

quote:

My job is to assess not the rightness of each argument but to deal in the real world of campaign politics in which perception often (if not always) trumps reality. I deal in the world as voters believe it is, not as I (or anyone else) thinks it should be.
Seems to entertain the idea that truth is ultimately unimportant in the face of perception. Could it be that this placating of misinformed voters has contributed to the current post-fact predicament? By gliding over the "rightness" of an argument aren't you abdicating the basic tenet of journalism?

quote:

First of all, for people not familiar with where that quote comes from, it's this piece: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/02/05/why-the-cbo-report-is-still-terrible-news-for-democrats/
That was in 2014. I keep trying to evolve as a journalist and have tried to do so since then.
What I was trying to say, albeit it not terribly articulately, is that perception matters LOTS in politics.
We've seen it with the rise of Trump. I get asked ALL THE TIME why "we" (the media) didn't fact-check Trump during the campaign. I always respond the same: We did! All the time!
What that question is really trying to get at is why didn't our fact checks, which regularly found that Trump was misleading or, in some cases, outright lying, didn't change peoples' minds who supported him.
The answer is a) they didn't believe the media and b) they bought into the perception that Trump was selling -- no matter what we did to show that what he was selling wasn't accurate.
So, as a journalist I am trying to make sure we fact check AND make sure we portray the fact that people don't necessarily change their minds based on proven facts.

A few things:

This would be a problem if I was the only reporter at CNN -- or the only political news reporter. Lucky for all of us, I'm not! There are hundreds -- thousands? -- of us. That means you can pick and choose what you read and what you don't -- and get the news even without (gasp!) reading me.

I think to dismiss the Macron-Trump handshake as "completely inane" misses an important element to politics: Theater. There is NO question that Trump views handshakes as a power move -- a chance to assert dominance. And, there is also NO question that world leaders -- Macron, Trudeau etc -- are now briefed and ready for the Trump handshake. So, to say it is meaningless misses the mark.

3) I don't believe "horserace coverage" is absurd. I think it's a vital part of how we cover elections. Notice I said "vital" not "only." If all we had was horserace coverage, then, sure, it wouldn't be enough. But we have MUCH MUCH more and we report on MUCH MUCH more.
