Nonsense posted:NPR sucks during presidential election season. They're good during the rest of the time, since nobody votes in the other ones, and they don't mention them much unless it's like a 2010 situation. You forgot the two times a year when they do pledge drives.

I watch way more Fox News than is healthy but I never watch Greta because I just think she's the worst combination of effortless hack, parroting of Fox News' party line, and nothing remotely interesting good or bad. But I was watching the Democrat Town Hall so I kept Fox News on to see their reaction. Greta had on Dennis Kucinich (Why, I don't know) and said this gem. GVS: "Bernie released a statement today saying that Hillary Clinton is "purposely misrepresenting his record." Wow. That's as bad as anything that's been said on the Republican side." DK: "I think things have gotten a little worse on the Republican side." GVS: "Well they use harsher words, but its the same thing." I think Kucinich and I had the same moment of silence in disbelief at that gem and I turned it off after he dismissed it without actually laughing at her. Sadly he didn't point out the lack of penis and face jokes on the Democratic side.

Here's sort of a followup to my way older post about noticing how slanted my favorite AM talk radio station has become. I've become pretty aware of how they report about the stock market. If the DJIA drops or is projected to drop, they report it every single news break. On days that it rises, they do not report it at all. This morning, for example, they reported that the DOW was expected to fall today and later in the day I assumed it had because I didn't hear them mention it once, until I got home and checked to see that it had risen slightly. I didn't even realize that the last few weeks had been pretty good for the stock market because they had completely stopped talking about it. It might just be coincidence with me somehow missing the report for weeks, but it kinda bothers me. It might not even be unique to this station or right wing media, to be honest. It would fit with the general fear mongering the media loves as a whole.

It is when you want a piece of that sweet Marvel film pie and need to keep churning out something to keep the rights so the actual Marvel Studios can't take them away and make a half-decent movie with them. Much like poor Spider-Man had been for so long.

Sanity check: For about a decade, on my ride home from work I listened to BBC on NPR. I heard many interviews with leaders from all around the world and I was initially shocked by the rudeness and crudeness of the questions put to them. They all seemed incredibly mean and bottom-of-the-barrel unfair. This made my blood boil and I was trying to understand why these interviews were so combative. I didn't understand how this behavior could be allowed. One night I had something that I think was an epiphany: This hostility served a purpose. By asking an influential person if they were so horrible, you cut straight through the bullshit and you get to the accusations that are already circulating about these people. By addressing such "issues" directly and posing it in a hostile way, you give that individual the opportunity to push directly back and defend themselves. If they have a good defense, you should hopefully be able to tell. It was only after I heard years of this strategy that I realized, for the most part, these public figures were ready to speak about such accusations and had reasonable answers and facts to refute those accusations. When I had that thought, I suddenly considered that maybe asking those vicious questions was doing those people a favor by giving them a platform to not just refute those accusations but to provide fact-based evidence to dismiss them. I don't know how effective it is, but I stopped being angry about the mean questions once this occurred to me.

Crowder: Republicans deserve to losequote:Here in this election, there is one really significant weak spot with Hillary Clinton, she has the second highest unfavorability of any presidential candidate in the history of American politics… So, all Republicans need to do is nominate someone with even a moderately high unfavorability rating. Just an average one. What do Republicans do? They find, and will nominate, the single person with the number one highest unfavorability rating of any candidate of all time.

National Net unfavorables is a red herring. If the electorate is so polarized that one side will always believe the other side is the spawn of Satan, you're going to get massive unfavorables. What wins elections these days is turning out the base, and Hillary is very popular with her base.

I know that's the usual response but I'm just not sold personally that the base is going to turn out for Hillary come November, except if Trump is indeed the nominee. I think you'll see plenty of Republicans vote Hillary out of spite.

I know my mother, a financial conservative, told me she'd vote dem for the first time in many, many elections if Trump was the Republican nominee. I think you're going to see a lot of weird cross-party voting from both sides in the event of a Hillary/Trump election.
