Jonathan Capehart

[greenman3610]

putting on a master class in false balance reporting this weekend.


Giuliani yesterday, Lieberman today.
The childlike naivety of our elite journalists
continues to astonish me.

Presenting dishonest actors to your audience is not a service

[LuvJoe]

1. The more I'm voting for Biden-Harris when I see this, don't worry DU posters just keep the faith

[rufus dog]

2. It's a feature, not a bug

He does exactly as directed and plays his part.

[malaise]

5. THIS

and since M$NBComcast has them competing to be Joy's replacement, it's even more vulgar than usual

[True Blue American]

3. I was not impressed with e

Jonathon or Joe, ot Rudy. Fortunately I went back to Church this morning so was in a good moood. Masks and distancing. Not a problem. Music and up beat Sermon

[Warpy]

4. I generally don't read him in the WaPo

There is only so much my eyes can do in a day.

I'm not surprised. Journalists have been playing for "access" for too damned long. It has poisoned journalism to the point that a lot of it isn't worth bothering with.

6. the marching orders for the media is money. eyeballs. ads

Once you get that, you turn it off, because there's no reason to watch.

I came to that 10 yrs ago.

[Mr. Ected]

7. Honestly, a television comes with an ON/OFF switch

Why not leave it in the OFF position when propagandists pollute the airwaves?

Knowledge is eroded and facts become distorted otherwise.

8. Real journalism in America is dead

taken over by mindless, duplicitous stenographers for the corporate masters

[onecaliberal]

9. Real journalism died when consolidation was allowed.

10. for me, Sunday morning cable news is worthless..i stick with local stuff on weekends..

11. I lost respect for Capehart in 2016 when he pushed the story that a 1962 photo

At the University of Chicago of Bernie at a civil rights sit-in in1962 was not Bernie. The fact that his partner was a long time aid to Hillary didn't help. Shortly after the article appeared in the WAPO the photographer who to took the photo came forward to state that it was Sanders and that at he had other photos from the roll etc. Capehart never really retracted the story. He chocked it up to muddled memories of the the people involved.

[Gothmog]

12. I changed channels when Lieberman came on

[Vinca]

13. That was my first thought yesterday until he called the Ghoul's bluff: introduced Lev

as the next guest. With that in mind, I think he did a good job on that interview. Didn't see Lieberman fortunately. Overall, I like Jonathan Capehart.
