Media has no time for important foreign policy issues but finds time to attack Trump's hair

[enhanced_deficit]

In MSM TV/pop media and comedy circuit, there are various articles/interviews of experts/hair pros to analyze Trump's hair, yet have not seen any of these topics being discussed in MSM. Why is that? Don't tell me it's because "hair videos sell" and foreign interventions/war stories don't.
And is there some mandate that every day google news front page has to have a story about a member of Kardashian nuclear family? This has been going on for years, this assertion is only slightly exaggerated.

I agree that the big issues should be reported. However since Trump has made his personal vanity one of his main speaking points - biggest crowds, biggest nuke button, the best schools, the best words... etc then deflating some of that vanity seems fair game. Anything that takes more than 10 seconds to figure out just doesn't work well with the soundbite culture we're in.

I think the real chance if there was any to get out of the undeclared wars was 2008. People saw the BS Iraq war from Baby Bush fiasco and were sick of it. Obama said the magic words he would end them with hope and change. Well after 8 years of more war and little change showed there is one thing big govt, big media agree on and that is keeping the wars going. They wont call Trump out on it because they do not want an antiwar candidate and movement gaining any traction in the future.

Have to concede that these point are not entirely without merit.

I do not like that the media has made themselves the news. The debates were not about the candidates, but about the moderators. Half the stories are what this outlet said or what that talking head said. Give me a break. Report the news.

You should be taking your job more seriously. Is there anybody on your team left who is able to make an argument?

Thank you for your informative contribution to the discussion.

Why do you have those quotation marks around "major news outlets"? Nobody in this thread used that phrase. None of the videos posted in this thread have that phrase in the title. Who are you quoting?

Or are you using those quotes in hopes careless readers will assume someone said that phrase, when all the talk has been about the mainstream media? Are you denying Kimmel is mainstream media?

There's a name for people who use tactics like using fake quotes to discredit a point of view. They--you--are called " propagandists".


Thank you for your informative contribution to the discussion.

Yeah. That. And have a nice day, propagandist.
