For those who missed Lawrence O'Donnell last night

[SocialDemocrat61]

Excellent segment. Note the comparison charts at about 6:15.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

1. Lawrence was great last night

[brush]

2. Brief summary, pls. So many videos now. Don't always have time.

[erronis]

11. Sometimes it is worth watching the video - I think this is one of those times.

A bullet-point synopsis wouldn't do justice to Lawrence's delivery.

15. You managed to post this, but not a sentence of summary?

People on cels might not be able to access a video.

DU 4 has changed DU, the reliance on just videos is not one of the best IMO.

16. The reliance on video is not connected to DU4 - just the way that some people spread info.

I also would much rather have a textual explanation of what is being shown in most cases.

I also use a full screen laptop so I'm not constantly thumbing my way through long texts.

This is just one of those videos that I couldn't do justice to by laying down one sentence - that's almost trivializing the information for people that want a sound bite.

13. I loathe when someone just posts a video

Yes, I can watch the video. But tell us why you as a poster think it’s important. OK, I can’t do it justice, but still, make the effort. At least one point would help.

4. I would recommend those who have not seen it, take the time to watch the entire show.

He speaks later about the hypocrisy of the report with Andrew Weissman and the media's blatant lies about what is in and is not in the report.

He recommends people read Just Security

5. If I were Krugman I'd have said that I'm DEEPLY WORRIED FOR AMERICAN MEDIA. (6:05)

Thanks for the post!

[progressoid]

8. Or I'm deeply worried for America BECAUSE of the media.

[ancianita]

9. I hear ya. But since Hillary, America's been doing its job in spite of media not doing its job.

Media want to be kingmaker but America has learned and won't let it.
Krugman's afraid media will drive who wins this election like it did with Hillary.
He and media overlook that we're not in the last days of the general, but nine months out.
Media will have to desperately search for another October surprise again.

6. Summary please. So many videos. I don't have time to watch them "just in case". . . . . nt

18. I started a thread about this last night while the show was still airing

I could not post a video, but when I tried to summarize it briefly I found it impossible. It really is like an hour long very well written and researched documentary. The best I can do is say that it includes a long history of how Presidents' health has been treated throughout the decades and how the treatment of Biden's health is so far outside the norm. There is no filler and the entire hour is more than worth watching.

19. Thank you. I'll consider it. . . . nt

[PatSeg]

7. Everyone needs to see this segment

[bluboid]

10. Wow! Absolutely brilliant.

Thank you, Lawrence, & thank you DU.

14. So...

...who are the owners of the media outlets these days?

Care to guess?

17. Bumping this as a reminder...

...to post the transcript when it's available (I looked earlier today and it wasn't ready yet) and to encourage DUers to watch the clip, which covers everything from the poor health of the highly effective FDR to the origins of NATO to the contrast between the press coverage of Eisenhower's time and Biden's.
