You give the media too quick a pass. You clearly haven’t worked with these people, so I’ll give you a pass on what I think you don’t know.
The media, on both sides, trend young and naive. It’s a dumb person’s and egomaniacs’ game, even at management levels. They’re also generally full of hot air. They write shit people like us throw at each other on a chat board. Is Yglesias smarter than Sullivan? (No one but us cares.)
Trump’s critiques of the media are pathetic comedy because the media created him, he and the media have enjoyed a symbiotic/parasitic relationship that has ruined our public discourse, and his whine is basically a plaintive, “Why don’t you love me?” Retort: “Because you’re a dick. That’s your brand. Now dance for your dinner, and make us your enemy. Trump/Media Success Story Mark II.”
Our media truly sucks. The whole bag of dicks, flaccid.
So let’s not defend these shitballs. Let’s send them over the falls with Donald. Each deserves nothing more than to go where the other one lands. He who tangos with shit should have to wake up fucked by it. With all its stds.
