If only we had a liberal media press. If only we had a group of journalists who were neither, ex-reality stars/failed politicians/ good to look at with nothing of substance behind that photogenic face/talking head filled with helium BUT professionals who cared more about the truth then ratings. If only, but this is America 2016 and bottom lines for both Network and Cable corporations is ratings built on bytes, sound bytes based on BS, and enough BS to fill the pockets of the six to 7 figure salaries of the media CEO’s.
Whenever there is a crisis, the news channels usually have some kind of theme music, a quick perky title, and a countdown. Earthquake Day 7, Tsunami Day 12, mass shootings Third Day, each and every event becomes a paltry attempt at making it seem that the Networks care, by presenting a Soap Opera in which the viewer never quite discovers finality in the plot. Of course there are the paid for talking heads, with their own special bias, many of whom just make the rounds sounding, looking and seeming to know what it is they are pontificating about.
Donald Trump who believes he is above the laws, rules, and the facts, is now acting like the brat he is (And a smart brat who knows he can away with almost thing he so desires), and has told the American public, his tax returns are no one’s business. He somehow can’t remember saying on video that he would be glad to show is tax returns, but that video feed was manipulated and just a propaganda tool, created by his enemies. (Remember how the disgraced video of Planned Parenthood and the sale of baby parts a knowingly fraudulent piece of garbage was considered real, even after the fact it was known it wasn’t). So, if we had a liberal press, or for that matter a press concerned about the truth and how politicians try to avoid it, I think this should happen. Pick a theme song maybe “We’re in the Money” from 42nd Street, begin by showing the various videos of Donald Trump touting that his tax returns will be greater, grander and best, then end this little montage with Day One, Day Two Day 111 if needed and after how many days have gone by get the tag line to appear that says, AND STILL NO RETURNS. #Cheatin’ Trump! Oh if only!
