The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition

That sounds like how the media should be reporting on the President, yet they cannot look past their own intellectual failings and their insular lives hemmed in by the Acela and the Hudson River and Interstate 5.

Here's an article from last summer that is spot-on, and is even more applicable today!
Everyone Is Smart Except Trump

It really is quite simple. Everyone is smart except Donald J. Trump. That’s why they all are billionaires and all got elected President. Only Trump does not know what he is doing. Only Trump does not know how to negotiate with Vladimir Putin. Anderson Cooper knows how to stand up to Putin. The whole crowd at MSNBC does. All the journalists do.

The Seedier Media never have negotiated life and death, not corporate life and death, and not human life and death. They think they know how to negotiate, but they do not know how. They go to a college, are told by peers that they are smart, get some good grades, proceed to a graduate degree in journalism, and get hired as analysts. Now they are experts, ready to take on Putin and the Iranian Ayatollahs at age 30.

Too bad the people who are paid to be impartial can't manage the same thing.
