      Joe is the one they’re afraid of.

        Shut down threat, while leaving opponents' some hope. THEN work on those next.

          Trump can read (or have someone read to) Fox News graphics that show Biden up double digits in hypothetical matchups. That scares him more than Pocahantas or that old Commie Bernie.

              Apparently the Wall Street Journal reported this morning that Rudy was lying about everything yesterday. Too bad the complicit press didn't do their homework before having him on the air.

                Yeah well I am sure the Journal will still tell us all why everything Trump has done is fine...though at least they dont pretend to be anything they arent.

                The NY Times, Chuck Todd and CNN should be on trump's payroll for all the help they give him every week.

                    He doesn't. No one does. But, let's be clear, Trump sells papers. He sells ratings on the outrage machines. Journalism is dead as a profession.

                      It's not dead as a profession. Cable news isn't journalism per se anyway...as they have 24 hours to fill. It's not possible to make that interesting with pure journalism. But the profession itself is nowhere near dead...not if you know where to look.

                        You're looking at it wrong. The percentage of people reading the journalism that matters is less than 5%. 95% ingest the crap every day. As long as that's going on the profession is dead. We'll never see a story like the Pentagon Papers, or Watergate again because all the good stuff is neutered by the lying and spinning.

                        Hell, we don't even have a Presidential briefing anymore with the press secretary. Instead they all bark at the Orange ******** on the lawn so they can spew more of his ****ing lies.

                          If you say so.
                          Again...cable news and political press conferences aren't all that journalism is.
                          You know that...but please...tell the guy trained in broadcast journalism more about how it's dead...

                              Why would that be any different than 20 years ago? The people that sought legit news sources then didn't just stop because they supposedly became harder to find. And to the contrary I'd argue there's far more sources for real journalism than ever before because it's that much easier to reach them. At least once a week I come across a new source shared here, at other boards and/or via Twitter and FB.

                              Before the internet did you legitimately have direct access at your fingertips to 20+ sources you'd go to bat for? What count would you put it at today? No snark please.

                                Not only that but mass journalism even at its best probably never reached more than 5% of the gen pop. The vast, vast majority of people don't have the curiosity or intellectual tools to absorb and consider serious information.

                                The only differences between 2019, 1969, and 1919 are the ease with which the boob on the street can blat his opinion to the rest of us. I have absolutely zero professional credentials yet you're all reading this. If it were fifty or 100 years ago the only way you'd know the idiocies I spewed were if you lived somewhere nearby me.

                                People today are, as a matter of per capita knowledge, both better informed and smarter than ever in history. We just didn't have to listen to the morons before unless they convinced somebody rich to publish them. Now anybody can self publish on public forums and inflict themselves on us.
