Progressives need a mainstream media Wall of Shame or Stupidity. If conservatives can work the so called referees in the media to the point of Chuck Toddism, couldn’t progressives do the same? It could be a virtual Wall of Shame or Stupidity. I know that I have a couple of names just from watching MSNBC tonight: Tom Brokaw and Chris Matthews.
Brokaw deserves to be on that Wall for his failure on the run up to the Iraq War. But he was in full swing tonight on comparing the outgoing Obama Administration to the incoming Trump one. When pointed out that Trump’s approval ratings are in the gutter already, he said that in a year from now Trump’s approval rating could be much higher, especially if he gets the economy to improve and keeps the support of white working class voters!
Rah, rah, sis boom bah!
Next, Brian Williams was talking to Tweety Bird Chris Matthews about the latest news about Trump’s Russians tie. Matthews was taking all of the news seriously, but he stepped all over it when he said that “The American people did not really know Donald Trump.” WTF? Trump was not some blank slate! He’s been around for years, and the SOB let it all hang out on the campaign trail, if anyone with half a brain paid attention.
Really Chris? “Americans did not really know Donald Trump?” What Chris is really saying is the following: “I saw what I wanted to see in Trump’s faux populism, and now that it appears that Trump is a Russian agent, well, it clashes with my pseudo blue collar all American blather I throw around on my show.”
So my first two names for the Wall are Tom “Don’t blame me for the Iraq War” Brokaw and Chris “Don’t Weep for Me Heartland Voters” Matthews.
