cachukis's JournalThe Michelle Obama speech will go down as one of
the most effective adult speeches of all time.
Do watch at your earliest opportunity.
Events suggest she has to jump in, as presidential.
We are at a time to display leadership and Joe has to let it happen. How he pulls this off will be a true emblem of his understanding.
BiBi has his game. Glad there are good minds on it.
Watching Alex interview Schmidt.
He seemed miffed that his reporting was classified with all the written material on other cabinet members.
He proudly commented he had the spoken word.
He is right. The majority need to see or hear.
There are many of us here who eschew videos because we are readers.
But most people get their news from videos.
The fact Schmidt convinced Kelly to speak on the subject makes it newsworthy.
We readers had already read about this, but now people get to hear his voice.
trump cannot possibly be in charge.
This last nine years of reality TV with him as the star, has to be a manipulation. I suspect there are many manipulators.
He is a provocateur and charlatan somehow bailed out by those who gain by his mishaps.
His coat tails are filled with wannabes.
He is the court jester flowing with the transition to entertainment as reality.
He is reliant on puppeteers.
The power brokers seeking to secure more power see opportunity. Fascism is corporate power managing government to their liking.
trump is thrilled with the attention of his power to continue adulation.
There is no way he can plot the intrusion into what we think of as the democratic American way.
He is a transactionalist, not a transformist.
Perhaps we have succumbed to deal making as a religious experience.
Let us hope not, for his career is not the example I want my children and grandchildren to follow.
We have a tendency to just let things happen. None of us was ready for smart phone social media. None of us can anticipate the long term influence of AI.
The chase for money is more powerful than jesus.
You know you made it when the only things you buy are what you need.
Harris bad assed Baier.
He knows it because he has been a fox shill and would like to be better known than that.
He knows who writes his check.
Plain as day.
Watched the Parnas documentary.
Cathartic.
Must see TV.
Revelatory.
Rachel bookends.
Velshi pulled out more.
Don't have link to tonight's showing,
but very moving.
Solomon, Vogel.
We will always have our work cut out.
There is nothing left. Nothing he can say.
He can only plot his escape.
Harris is still at it tossing shovels of fill.
Taking a break from Florida summers
travelling in my solar powered vintage Airstream.
Left 18 May for northeast. Made it as far as St. Andrews, New Brunswick.
Family gathering over 4th on South Shore, below Boston.
We have to pull into civilization for plumbing and a recharge every now and again.
As I made breakfast off of shore power, I realized I left my appliances on. I mean, I paid for it, right.
Wrong. Ordinarily I live on charged batteries.
It occured to me, if we, as a society practiced conservation much more than we do, maybe someone in Barbados or Jamaica would not be contending with catastrophe today.
I suppose, hot water is not a bad thing.
NYT tries to explain MSNBC
Source: NYT
Even Comcast, NBCs corporate owner, which is loath to intervene in news coverage, took the rare step of conveying its concern to MSNBCs leaders when some hosts and guests criticized Israel as the Hamas attack was unfolding on Oct. 7, according to three people with knowledge of the discussions. An abrupt course correction to that coverage followed.
This account of the tensions roiling NBC and its corporate overseers is based on interviews with more than two dozen people with knowledge of the companys inner workings, almost all of whom insisted on anonymity to share details of internal discussions.
NBC declined to make its top executives available for interviews. The chairman of the NBCUniversal News Group, Cesar Conde, has said he wants his division which encompasses MSNBC, CNBC, a digital streaming service, Telemundo and journalistic stalwarts like Nightly News, Meet the Press and Today to be a big tent.

Perhaps this explains some hosts commentary.
The turmoil at appeasing conservatives not getting their pablum for ratings.
