   The media is trying so hard to shoehorn this abnormal and dangerous political moment into a pair of comfortable shoes they hope we’re too familiar with and long for.

   It’s not working.

   It’s embarassing.

   And they wonder why their businesses are sufferig.

     @WarnerCrocker Editorial policy is controlled by corporate, exactly what Paddy Chayefsky warned against in Network. We are being fed bullshit quite intentionally.

     @todwest True. And that’s the easy answer. The problems are deeper than that though.

     @WarnerCrocker Well, when you hire people who don't understand the basic principles of journalism, it's all part of the same thing. Corporate controls the narrative, and the 'reporters' follow corporate's orders. This is what they were hired to do. It's one of the reasons I left the field.
