President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

IIRC the only Pulitzer from the 2016 election for Fahrenthold's reporting on Trump's business dealings.

 

What Russia hoax?

 

"The creatures outside looked from media to politician, and from politician to media, and from media to politician again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."

 

To be clear, I think a lot of Fox News stuff comes from blogs and social media they follow religiously to see what is agitating righties on any given day. Hunter Biden, Kamala Harris, CRT - these are not people and things that impact the lives of 99.9 percent of the American people - yet Fox News gives the subjects a TON of coverage.

Some producer sees a tweet or post that seems to be getting a lot of retweets and responses - they figure out a way to make a segment out of it and then post back on the blog or SM that Fox News will have a segment on it - voila "viewership, validation and suddenly its "out there," into the newsosphere.

 

Elections have consequences.

 

Jimmy Carter's in hospice.

 

sad day

 

A life well lived for President Carter. So many good works, especially post-presidency.

Hard to tell how long it might be. My two experiences with hospice care (dad and grandpa), neither made it there once the decision was made. But hospice can obviously go on for quite a long time.

Hopefully he's pain-free and comfortable.

 

MAGA folks will dance on his grave, but Carter was more conservative and a lot more Christian than they are.

 

I can think of at least one non-MAGA person eager to dance on his grave.

 

Alma? Not sure who you have in mind. Clinton? Obama?
