Discussion: With Trump Ally At Helm, TMZ Ditches Celebrity Gossip For MAGA Messaging

@favoritecurmudgeon

you’ve left behind any semblance of reasonableness!

or rationality.

[pshah]

Isn’t TMZ owned by Time-Warner, who also has a merger pending in front of the Trump Administration?

[desertdweller]

Yup it is.

Not a lawyer, so my question is this: what is the counterbalance to the Supreme Court?

The Constitution counterbalances the judicial branch against the executive and legislative branches. We the People are the only protection for the Constitution.

Unfortunately the founders did not anticipate the people being too distracted to uphold their end of the bargain, despite 1A.

The Dotard in Chief thinks that the Presidency is a reality TV show, so MAGA messaging essentially is celebrity gossip.

The oligarchy continues to assemble.

“TMZ was the Kardashians, Britney Spears, and Justin Bieber—and almost overnight it became about the election and supporting Trump,” a former staffer said. “There were so many stories the site did that were so crazy that it was so out of the scope of things TMZ would normally do."
“Our mean girl in 7th grade lunchroom dynamic was used to being stupid and cruel about talentless celebrities in airports, then we switched to a mean girl 7th grade lunchroom dynamic about one celebrity- ugh - I had to leave out of principal.”

This explains why TMZ is now running more ads for erectile (electial?) disfunction.

I’d bet even money that Harvey Levin’s close friendship with that fucking Man-baby in the White House revolves around their shared misogynistic views and behaviors towards women. I’d bet if anyone did the slightest digging, they’d find Levin with just as many horrible instances of mistreatment towards women as those you’d find with tRump. These type of men tend to stick together in the belief that they have a brotherhood of impunity from their abusive behavior. Start digging newsies. Levin, sure as I’m sitting here, has something of his own to hide.

Btw, anyone heard from Melania these days? I hear she’s been MIA since leaving the hospital and no one knows where the fuck she’s to be found these days…Poof, gone. I even read one article that said she went back to NYC.

… coverage has become too absurd…

Is it fair to describe the change in their coverage as trumping the snark?

[shoreline_jim]

There is always the Nambian consolate and body politic

[kkapferer]

Not saying Levin isn’t a cretin, but I’m fairly sure he’s a homosexual

[alicepaul]

TMZ is not worth a comment.

Oh wait! Is that considered a comment?

I hope Melania left the WH because I will take it as a sure sign of Donnie Dump’s decline.

[srfromgr]

Yeah, I see that now. Hard to figure what he sees in tRump, whose entire administration cast itself in anti-gay rhetoric on policies it chose to abandon or reverse from the previous administration. Then there are those that believe that there is also such a thing as a gay man that also tends to be a misogynist, sometimes without even realizing it.

yes, empty headed grin.

[roodstercrows]

Apparently it also stands for Trump’s MAGA Zone.
