monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

My analysis:

The Democrats have not made things appealing enough for their base, i.e. gays, muslims, Mexicans, trans-genders, blacks, immigrants, militant feminists, et al. They need to start promising more protection, special privileges and free **** to these groups. But mainly, they need to incite them to HATE even harder. They're slackin.

On Trump, the media’s malpractice continues

One of the great ironies of the political moment is that President Trump’s sworn enemy has become, if not exactly an ally, an enabler of his agenda.

The mainstream media’s prevailing focus on palace intrigue and White House scandals has come at the expense of substantive policy coverage, allowing Trump and the Republican Party to advance harmful, hugely unpopular policies without the scrutiny they deserve.

The wall-to-wall coverage of Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s bumbling testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee was just the latest example of the media’s myopic obsession with all things Russia.

While the investigations into Trump’s campaign and the president’s possible obstruction of justice are clearly newsworthy, they have denied oxygen to other issues that have a far greater impact on Americans’ daily lives.

These are just a few examples of the media malpractice that continues to corrode our political discourse....One of the primary drivers of this behavior is simple. In a corporate media environment where ratings are prized above all else, the reality is that sensationalism and scandal play better — and, therefore, pay better — than substance.

CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker recently admitted as much, saying, “2016 was the best year in the history of cable news, and 2017 is going to be even better. There is no evidence that the interest in [Trump] is waning in any way.”

Zucker’s comment echoed CBS Chief Executive Les Moonves, who said last year that Trump’s political ascent was “damn good for CBS” and bragged that “the money’s rolling in.”

In an interview with Breitbart, a lawyer representing Bernie Sanders supporters in a class-action lawsuit against the DNC called the committee’s actions “the ultimate Ponzi scheme” and said that if the suit goes further they “expect to find much more evidence of the DNC’s misconduct” in helping Hillary Clinton cheat her way to the nomination.

Jared Beck of Beck & Lee Trial Lawyers is representing Sanders donors in the case Wilding v. DNC Services Corp. He said his clients had an expectation of impartiality when they donated to the candidate during the 2016 campaign.

Instead, he said hacked emails released from the DNC reveal that the organization was mostly in the tank for Clinton. The plaintiffs are currently awaiting a ruling on the DNC’s motion to dismiss. He also blew the whistle on what he said was an attempt by the office of former DNC head Debbie Wasserman Schultz to interfere with the case......

Democrats Seethe After Georgia Loss: ‘Our Brand Is Worse Than Trump’

Representative Tim Ryan of Ohio said the Democratic brand had also become “toxic” in much of the country because voters saw Democrats as “not being able to connect with the issues they care about.”

“Our brand is worse than Trump,” he said.

“Our brand is worse than Trump,” he said.
