Steve Bannon is right

He should not care about what others think of him, and we should not care what he thinks of us.

I wish that CBS did not give him such a platform. There was nothing new or interesting that he said, even when Charlie Rose tried to be angry, or frustrated.

Bannon, Limpdick, Coulter, Palin - all depend on being in the news, yes, the "detested main stream media." So on occasions they release stinky farts and then sit back and enjoy still being able to generate headlines. Yes, including here, on DU.

What will happen if, like that tree in the forest, they will huff and puff and no one will hear and no one will pay attention?

The deplorables, who may or may not follow them will not be dissuaded by facts and reasons, so why waste time on them?

One thing that I did catch, his attack on Cohn (hint of anti-Semitism?) No, if you disagree with your boss you have a right to tell him. Otherwise it is the infamous groupthink of the Bay of Pigs.

And then you can agree to disagree. Or you may be fired. But at least you kept your dignity. And I do agree with others, like the WSJ editors , who said that Kelly and McMaster are patriots who know that they can and must serve the country by staying in their positions.

Now, can we please leave these attention craving miserables alone?

3. There is one thing that the GOP just doesn't get that needs to be hammered down.

And that is this:

THEY ARE THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA NOW!!!!

Conservatives own the media! They won! They can knock off this whiny bullshit about how everyone else they don't agree with is the "mainstream media". They're it. Fox News is practically state run television now.

but unfortunately the media are all corporate and those corporations are all solidly Republican.

Not going to happen in my lifetime.
