it was just about this time last year, as We the People were freaking out about the fuckery to come, that the worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled media decided the greatest contribution they could make to the national discourse would be to put on their denial-colored glasses and assure us that everything was going to be okay. no, wait — not just okay, but totally awesome.

today, let’s take a walk down memory lane, and revisit just how completely fucking wrong the chattering class got it.

exhibit A: the Gas Leak Twins, Ezra Klein and Ross Douthat. here’s the twaddle they shat out onto The New York Times the very day of the 2024 election, just minutes after Donny was declared the victor.



so here we are, a year later. did Donny’s victory offer an ‘unlikely opening to American renewal’?

spoiler alert: no, of course it fucking well didn’t — not unless unless you consider economic ruin, foreign policy chaos, and lawless ICE thugs on the streets of our cities to be some kind of ‘renewal.’

this is the kind of magical ‘everybody gets a pony’ thinking that our punditocracy loves to inflict on us: that somehow, any moment now, Donny’s going to finally become ‘presidential.’

Wow, Tiedrich really nails it today! He lets the US news pundits (the ones dancing on their knees before Chump) have it right between the eyes. Please read the rest on "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."

1. ENORMOUSLY valuable contribution from Tiedrich.

Goddamn the chickenshit trump-sucking mainstream media to hell, particularly the spineless creeps at the NY Times opinion dungeon. Unforgivable journalistic malpractice. I sincerely hope the critiques and vilifying are ongoing, a century from now---they certainly ought to be, given the damage done.
