The decline of the American Media

[AWRTR]

To me I have never understood the fascination with the “two obnoxious fat guys behind a mic in the morning” crap. I just don’t understand why anyone needs that in the morning.

Rick and bubba are actually the ones that kinda made Finebaum big tbh. Rick always hated the fact that Finebaum could do circles around him in logic but kept bringing him on in the hopes to finally get one over on him that he never could because of the lack of brain cells.

But ultimately until Ron Paul they were no worse or better than the other fat guys in the morning with the likes of Phil and Brent or John boy and Billy. But once Paul ran Rick really ramped up the far right nonsense and started to buy tons of ads on WJOX. I still hate the idea that they celebrated the balloon popper and helped pay for his court costs in the same breath as saying they love free speech.

I listened tom them in the late 90’s early 2000’s. This was before they got into the political stuff. They were pretty much just humor and stories. I liked them back then. It was just silly light hearted stuff generally, but I don’t want to listen to them do politics.

I just never liked the over the top laughter in the morning.

Rick has always been controversial but has become worse under the tea party revolution.

Yeah once he went so political I was out. I’ll get politics from someone else.

CBS faces uproar after seizing investigative journalist’s files

The position of CBS has alarmed many, including the union, as an attack on free press principles by one of the nation’s most esteemed press organizations.

thehill.com

The timing of Herridge’s termination immediately raised suspicions in Washington. She was pursuing stories that were unwelcomed by the Biden White House and many Democratic powerhouses, including the Hur report on Joe Biden’s diminished mental capacity, the Biden corruption scandal and the Hunter Biden laptop. She continued to pursue these stories despite reports of pushback from CBS executives, including CBS News President Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews.

Given the other layoffs and declining revenues, the inclusion of Herridge was defended by the network as a painful but necessary measure. But then something strange happened. The network grabbed Herridge’s notes and files and informed her that it would decide what, if anything, would be turned over to her. The files likely contain confidential material from both her stints at Fox and CBS. Those records, it suggests, are presumptively the property of CBS News.

Where's Joseph McCarthy when you need him? That's the trouble with dead people....so unreliable.

I think he's been reincarnated with an orange face.

So he's Putin's puppet and simultaneously the reincarnated McCarthy? I hereby dub this phenomenon, "Schrödinger's Trump."

Those things are not mutually exclusive.

You might say an overlap of the Venn diagram.

Yup, especially the unhinged populist part.

I think we all saw this coming soon or later. There's really no point of reading what they publish when we know what it's going to say before we even have the chance to read it. Whether it's Daily Beast or Town Hall, Rolling Stone or Charlie Kirk, when "media" becomes utterly predictable, it's safe to say they have lost their relevance (if, indeed, they ever had any.)

They deserve this. This is the same bunch that tried to paint a kid as some sort of racist because he had his face painted up in KC Chiefs' colors.

Mot saying they don’t deserve it. Much of the media does.
