Why was the MSM bamboozled about Trump-Putin "summit"?

[yellowcanine]

Once again the MSM was left breathlessly reporting a nothing burger. I am so sick of it.

1. Yeah, I just posted in another thread--I want to believe that people who work as political reporters

are not the most gullible rubes on the planet, but time and time again the evidence suggests otherwise.

2. It's possible there are constraints about what they can write. The companies have corporate interests. NPR

is a better choice.

I honestly don't see how we survive all of this with the amount of brainwashing and whitewashing going on.

3. Because that is their role.

Confusion, obstruction, misdirection and taboos on upsetting the status quo have been their hallmark since November 22, 1963.

If the US press were actually to perform in the spirit intended by the Constitution, they would reveal the corrupt nature of their owners and elected representatives to the People.

4. It was just a distraction from Epstein and the inflation report. nt

5. Not bamboozled. On their knees submissively

6. Because Trump always keeps everyone on defensive

He is an absolute professional at slinging shit so fast that no one can digest what he did last week, much less the last hour.

7. They're just the platter on which this pile of shit is being served

8. Not bamboozled. Complicit. nt

9. Thry want to keep their jobs. Their producers even more so.

The journalists with real character have either left or been been kicked to the curb. At least those folks have a clear conscience. Nothing will change.
