CBS helped elect this clown. I distinctly recall in 2015 CBS cutting away from live Hillary Clinton rallies in the middle of her speech to instead go live to Trump’s empty podium before he even came out on stage.
I have no sympathy for what this administration does to the oligarchs legacy media corps now. And fuck Washington Post especially
Jeff Bezos to be specific. WP is basically just a shell now.
Yeah, but he's a MAN. A bigly important BUSINESS man, too, no less. So obviously it's much more important to get all ready to hear what he is going to say, as opposed to broadcasting some mere woman - who everyone is saying is incredibly shrill and omg, that laugh [1], amirite? - and any of her so-called ideas.
/s, just in case anyone thinks that real....
[1] If anyone needs evidence of just how skewed coverage is of Hillary (and Kamala) vs. little d, examining how they talk about their laugh is instructive. I mean, I'm not sure I've ever seen donnie ever have what looks like a genuine human emotion when it comes to humor. He does that weird grimace when he or someone else is punching down on someone. But have you ever seen the guy laugh at a joke or something that is not mean-spirited? The guy seems like he's just very unhappy, and I find that far more weird than anything about Hillary or Kamala's laugh. I think a lot of weak men hear a woman laughing and assume it's AT THEM, so that's why there was so much time spent on talking about it...
I don't think they really care whether they're dealing with a man or woman. They happily cut Bernie out of coverage as well in the primaries to favor Clinton.
I guess that's true, but they then proceeded to constantly dunk on Hillary and often for the most stupid of reasons: emails, Benghazi, her laugh, having hot sauce, she was obviously at death's door, etc.
I mean, if they kneecapped Bernie so they got a more centrist candidate, they then started playing with fire by employing the bothsiderist nonsense. In many cases, it was not even bothsiderist, it was tipping the scales in favor of little d, whether it's because they wanted their horse race or because their corporate masters wanted tax cuts. In any case, I am sure more than a few knew exactly what they were doing. And I'm sure more than a few of them knew, even then, just how dangerous and flawed someone like little d is.
