so they got rid of him.

for telling the true story. The scream was the excuse.

Gleefully participated in the “Willie-Hortoning” of Mike Dukakis.
If Trump ate a baby at a rally they’d sanewash it.
The media has sucked from the day St. Ronnie freed them from the Fairness Doctrine.

And they carried it through to a very "concerned" report with video. Fkin A, all he did was yell Yeah!! after the Iowa Caucus.

He didn't come in 3rd in Iowa because of the scream

is given more weight than it should. Biden didn't start being the front runner until SC.

I used to make a distinction between the sleezy newsprint displayed at check-out and best-fit for wrapping fish and the "quality" media (NYT, WaPo, WSJ, etc.). The former used to have a monopoly on killing stories (a la fg's lurid affairs). These days "they all do it," almost to the exclusion of actual journalism.

the “Dean Scream.” That’s what my post was about.

where they show Howard Dean steaming that his career ended while Trump can do anything. Either a good imitator, or better yet Dean himself. I can see him trying out Trump's attempt at dancing, pumping his fists and looking pleased with himself. There are som amny places to go with the Trump music town hall, but I'd really like to see Dean in it. Maybe a real scream in there somewhere.

a thousand years and an infinite number of news cycles ago.........

He was depressed for a short while, got over it before most of us did. He won the DNC chair shortly after that, and was the most successful one we ever had. He was again disappointed when Obama appointed Rahm as WH chief of staff, which meant he wouldn’t get his coveted (and deserved!!) position as Secretary of HHS. He got over that, too. As for being President, he says, “I could have done the job. I didn’t the chance. That’s the way it goes.” He took it all much better than many of his supporters did, myself included.

He is physically and mentally a bobble head..

While insinuating only a crazy person would behave or sound that way.

And then, there's Trump in full meltdown every day and we basically get a shrug and yawn.

Never forget, never forgive!

I understand that Kamala has to stay focused on the mission and message right now, but I would love to see her - after she wins - push to bring back the fairness doctrine and explore ways we can bring responsibility back to journalism. I know we have to tread carefully with the First Amendment, but the sane-washing in the name of their desired "horserace" is irresponsible to say the least. Maybe an investigatory commission to study the effects of media consolidation and ownership under the antitrust laws?

I went to a town hall that was held in iowa … he was taking questions from the audience and I had the opportunity to ask if he would work to bring it back.

He was surprised by my question and said he had not thought about it, but he would do some studying about it.

I never knew what the resolution was for him. I am not certain that it is really on anyone’s radar.

Sigh

Today show this morning they showed and commented on some of the rambling and bizarre things Trump has said at his rallies.

"Trump being Trump again, oh well"

just reporting what he did and said.

laughing without any context at all - and holding it up for ridicule (on rw talk radio which I sometimes listen to briefly out of morbid curiosity). Like a woman's laughter is a bad thing??? That's what i dont get. TThey apparently scoured hours of tape to find one little tiny nano-second where it does sound like kind of a cackle so they can portray her as.... i dunno, less than serious person? Ditzy woman?

Amongst other things

so what?

…can’t talk and just dances to music for 39 minutes. And the media says, “meh”

I was a member of the Dean forum back then. I also recall Kerry supporters coming in telling us to get our heads out of asses and throw our support behind the only candidate who had a chance of winning which, in their opinion, was Kerry . To be fair, some did ask nicely.

Trump lets his fascist flag fly, but oh, the pearls to be clutched on behalf of the "basket of deplorables."

Means death to them. And good riddance.

in Iowa. The voters hadn't decided yet.

Kerry had all the momentum, his scream was just the coup de grace.

and won the candidacy. Joe Biden for one.

He basically lived there, his loss was catastrophic. The campaign was basically premised on riding the momentum into NH, where Kerry, from neighboring MA, was heavily favored.

After losing Iowa, he had no path forward. Whatever you want to call his Iowa night rant, it sure didn’t help, but his goose was already cooked.

Perhaps the MSM think they are managing the "bottom line" and playing to their shareholders by being so F***'g cowardly, but that is either arsenic or cyanide they are ingesting, from what I can tell.
