Yes, let’s talk about “nonsense” and “garbage.” I have no subscription to FT – if anyone here does could you give us a brief summary?
ETA: Someone posted one key part.

" Following in his father’s footsteps, first son Eric Trump blasted the media on Thursday morning, saying the press focuses all of its coverage on “nonsense” and “garbage.” "
Yes Beavis, the press is focussing way too much on what comes out of your daddy’s pie hole…but that’s what got him elected…can’t have it both ways Beavis.

Eric is correct, there is a lot of positive news out there to report:
On Thursday, Japan took on the mantle of the global rules-based trading system, as it sidestepped a failing trade agreement with the United States to forge a historic new pact with the European Union.
Leaders from Japan and the European Union on Thursday announced their agreement on the broad strokes of a trade deal that will cover nearly 30 percent of the global economy, 10 percent of the world’s population and 40 percent of global trade.
Coming on the eve of the Group of 20 meeting of global leaders in Hamburg, Germany, the announcement appeared to be a calculated rebuke of both the United States, which has spurned global trade agreements in favor of more protectionist policies under President Trump, and Great Britain, which voted to leave the European Union last year.
Shinzo Abe, the prime minister of Japan, greeted the announcement as “the birth of the world’s largest free advanced industrialized economic zone.”
“Japan and the European Union will hoist the flag of free trade high amidst protectionist trends,” Abe said in a news conference Thursday.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, said the deal “shows that closing ourselves off from the world is not good for business, nor for the global economy, nor for workers. As far as we are concerned, there is no protection in protectionism.”

Remember how the media only focused on the good stuff during the Obama years? Remember how they ignored Hillary Clinton’s “flaws?”

Great link, thanks.
But…I love this ever so euphoniously apt phrase from the article:
the early noughties
Used for the ever so naughty zero years after the century change, I’m even more grateful for the link!

”I mean, we’re thriving as a nation. Everybody wants to get focused on nonsense. On garbage. On distractions.”
I thought we are in the midst of an American carnage.
As far as distractions are concerned just look to Eric’s dad’s petty twitter rage.

It would be very interesting to see the trump clan reaction if all media everywhere absolutely IGNORED the entire family…including the West Wing.
Just treat 'em like an ordinary person who has no platform to whine.

“I mean, there are people that I know who know we are good people, quality people, you know, nice people, honest people, sincere, whatever other words you can put to it."
I have some “other words” to put to you….how about lying, conniving, traitorous, thieving, incompetent, unqualified, entitled, spoiled shits…. intent on destroying all we hold dear? And that’s just off the top of my head.
