Clay Travis, Boobs and CNN

Correct, but I will say that, in my experience covering this, it's as much about class/economic status as it is about race. It's just that Black people have obviously been disproportionately screwed over and stuffed into shitty socio-economic conditions for as long as this country has existed.

But class and economic uprising is past due. The wealth disparity in this country is bullshit. Basically, we've become everything we hated about Great Britain when we left to form this country in the first place. Plus severe racism.

 

Cultural Marxism isn't much like Marxism. Cultural Marxism relies on the richest Americans, in fact, to oligarch over the cause. It is not a movement of working people. It’s a movement of academia.

 

Let's bring this back around to journalism.

On which of these groups does the mainstream press spend the most time?

 

ffs, etc.

 

Joe Rogan, Clay Travis...I really don't get Trump playing to the base - those two hosts aren't exactly known for their female listenership. Is he just trying to avoid a blowout? Will be interesting to see if the polling in the Big10 country changes much (Wisc., PA, Mich.) most polls show they are all close to out of reach for Trump.

 

First, stix just spent a week covering these rallies as a journalist, so he was talking about journalism.

Second, Fox - which I consider “mainstream” seems to spend most of its time on 3 and 4, from what I can tell. Other mainstream outlets seem most interested in how all of it reflects on Trump, what Trump thinks, etc.

CNN did the best isolated job of CHOP/CHAZ because they have the best reporter. But CHOP/CHAZ - mostly comprised of groups 3 and 4 - resulted in two murders and a lot of fear, and darn well should have been covered by the mainstream media, just as Ruby Ridge was covered, Oregon ranchers, etc.

 

I thought this was a good look at Seattle.

Sorry for the confusion. Just using his post as a prompt.

I think straight news cable and local and network TV spends most of its time on looting, fire and violence. As was ever thus in a picture-driven medium. Relatively much less time is spent on process or politics - even as it reflects on Trump.

Talk / panel cable is reliably awful on all of it, whether it's roasting Trump or showing the same B-roll of a burning CVS again and again.

Local and national papers are better about what's really happening, and trying to understand what's really happening - and why.

Most electronic / internet press is better about presenting the settings and the consequences and the stakes and the deep dives on the political and philosophical foundations of what's going on.

Interesting that no one has mentioned the police or local politicians or white supremacist / boogaloo boys as separate groups with separate goals and agendas.

 

Met Whitlock once at an NCAA tournament game in the press room. Talked to him briefly, an SJ.com came up. This is when he used to post here. He basically said he posted stuff just to stir the shit and see/get a reaction. I think he's taken his message board game to the masses.

 

was he wearing the fedora spill the real details

 

Alas, no fedora.

 

as was foretold . . .
