| Michael Avenatti Charged by Feds for Shakedown Extortion Against Nike AND ALSO, Being Charged in California on Separate Wire Fraud Charges! » March 25, 2019
Comes a ReckoningThe very the very very liberal, and very anti-Trump, Matt Taibbi writes that the the press has damaged its reputation far worse than its purported gullibility on WMDs in Iraq ever did. (Yes, I know this is kind of a silly premise, but this premise -- that the press was super-pro-Bush and eager to defer to him and invade Iraq -- is dear to leftwing hearts, so when they say this is even worse, it's a big deal.) Nobody wants to hear this, but news that Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller is headed home without issuing new charges is a death-blow for the reputation of the American news media. Say, wasn't that crazy Kool-Aid-drinking Trump Shill Mollie Hemingway writing about the media using unverified claims from anonymous sources (often single-sourced) a lot? Well, that just proves she's crazy. Speaking of, her husband Mark wants a specific reckoning on media's claims to be so important as to be above any criticism-- and the Dead Enders of anti-Trump "right" who echoed that. While we're all dealing with the fallout from the Mueller report, let me get something off my chest: Of all the despicable things that happened in the last two years, I'm perhaps most galled by the constant refrain that the American media was this VITAL INSTITUTION currently manning the DMZ between American civilization and chaos, and as such had to be spared from any serious criticism at this time ("this time" being the dark age that descended immediately upon us when Hillary Clinton lost a free and fair election). Speaking of, over at the Federalist, an intelligence/military interrogator and debriefer going by a pseudonym writes about the need for a media reckoning: What we won't hear is an apology, or an introspective review of the mistakes and professional lapses that brought us all to this point. There will be a reckoning, but that reckoning won't be televised. By the way, all of these posts are worth reading in full. I recommend them all. Oh, and read this thread by none other than Glen "Ellers" Greenwald explaining to a leftist idiot that the "crazies" at the Federalist got this story right for two years while she and her moronic colleagues she thinks are smart and on the ball got it completely wrong at every juncture and in every single detail. But trust them -- they're the smart ones! The smart ones who are just always wrong about everything. But this is Current Year -- intelligence isn't measured by how many things you get right and the general reliability of your analytical judgment. It's measured by your self-esteem and how smart you feeeeeel you are.
A reckoning, as the Federalist's pseudonymous interrogator says, is indeed happening. It's not just the corporate media that has a reckoning coming, either: It's the Fusion-GPS-style funded-by-billionaires for personal agenda Vanity Media, too:
