The Republicans and Fox News and Drudge have no problem dragging this poor family though the mud for dubious political gain. They are lower than scum.

It didn't come from Trump, other people were telling him this. He was just passing along what ***THEY*** said. Ya see?Trey Gowdy: There never really was any serious investigation about Hillaryâs role in Fosterâs murder. My committee will be glad to look into it.
I am going to be blunt.
The MSM is at the centrepiece here. No other entity is âon trialâ. In a functioning Fourth Estate, a quarter of major newspapers would be calling for this manâs removal as a candidate for the Nations highest office. We have now met the enemy and âhe is usâ
And the âusâ is the profit-craving MSM, which is now in the position to ânormalizeâ anything that this man-child wishes to say.
Corrupt public figure? Bring chargesâŚlike the Illinois Governor some years back.
Who will âbring chargesâ (for Malpractice) upon the MSM? Who is going to âvote the MSM out?â And after decades of info-tainment bullshit, who would wish to? I have seen reams of well-written articles dealing with the sociopathic nature of TrumpâŚall written for wonky political junkiesâŚIn the meantime, social reality for the rest of us is provided by MSM stenographic, butterknife-questioning whoresâŚall blaring from pastel-coloured studios reaching millions.
Sadly, Drumpf and his ilk will have no idea what âcruelâ means unless it touches them or their families directly. Maybe not even then.
Yes. You should apologize to scum for the comparison.
If OCCUPY had had the sense to minimize the libertarian shape-shifters (who can meld their âviewsâ to things similar to the most liberal Progressive AND the most bigoted Baggerâin the same sentence), it would have included the MSM in its matters of interest.
If we had a functioning Fourth Estate, there would have been no Trump.
Thank you for this. I think this is the best comment on TPM in years. Truly spot on. The MSM has done all it can to normalize racism and bigotry. It started as soon as Obama became a candidate for president. One of the most racist and bigoted man in the nation is running for president and they treat him with kid gloves. But spend lots of time spinning non-stories about Clintonâs emails.
Brilliant. Well done. I always enjoy reading your writings, emiliano.
Donât worry SisâŚTrump will just retract it later or pretend he was just âaskingâ as MANY PEOPLE want to knowâŚ
âThis is scurrilous enough coming from right-wing political operatives who have peddled conspiracy theories about Vinceâs death for more than two decades. How could this be coming from the presumptive Republican nominee for president?â she wrote.
Because the presumptive GOP nominee for president is now the voice of Alex Jones and other right-wing political operatives who have peddled conspiracy theories about Vince Fosterâs death for decades.
I could not agree more. I am depressed and disturbed at the MSMâs part in the apotheosis of the vulgar Trump. Their ONLY concern appears to be how much money they can make off of this election cycle and the answer is a great deal as long as the Trump lunacy continues. If he were to become President they might not enjoy it so much because he would probably find a way to muzzle them, to make sure they presented him in the most flattering manner possible. But then they arenât far off that mark right now.
The precipitous decline in newspapers in this country and the switch to the Internet for news has probably played a large role. Not that there werenât biased newspapers but the Internet is fragmented into thousands of blogs, news media, etc. where more than ever people can pick what they want to read and screen out what they donât. I read TPM instead of Red State so Iâm guilty as well but I also read newspapers.
You are welcome.
Thank you.
Thank you for both postsâŚand my thanks to dswx and albesure as well. We owe it to our children to remind them that, while the Fourth Estate of yesteryear had its severe shortcomings, the (since the late 1970sâand getting worse by the year) intersection of corporate policy, dissemination of information and lucre/greed of the MSM has brought this nation to its knees.
I agree with you; however, it would have been helpful if you had chosen to type out what MSM stands for: Main Stream Media at the first usage. I think your grammar teacher, if in fact you had one, would be happier.
It read a bit confusing.

This highlights what is so unprecedented about the current state of GOP politics. In the good old days, the GOP would use proxies to make wild allegations and plant rumors of scandal and nefarious deeds. The Donald Drumpf neither knows nor cares that those of Presidential timber are expected to take the high road. All he knows are the ethics of reality TV, where the most crude, insensitive, low-down, dirty, mean-spirited language is not just acceptable, but gobbled up by the unwashed masses who watch that drivel. This is his base. This is the America That Loves Drumpf. This is who holds sway in todayâs GOP.
I feel for the family as well. Trumpâs conspiracy theoriesâŚhe is mentally ill.
