The MSM is on its last legs. Its dying gasp is loud and threatening. But that's all it is: A last gasp.

You're right, Mary, but the threatening now evokes a little bit different response. The cowering is over. Time for payback. As they say, karma is a bitch.

Just tell them, "Your karma ran over your dogma".

FWIW, I think thatтАЩs a Thomas Dolby song.

I see the demise of the MSM as more a gradual thing taken over by citizen journalists like Mr. Kunstler, here. That's what most people watch now (see: Joe Rogan, etc. who's audience dwarfs anything in the MSM). But sadly some of those personalities are still making bank. Let's hope that changes as well. I know CNN is getting sued out of existence for libel, they don't seem to be able to editorialize correctly - even to save their own skin. They must have complete idiots running their gig.

Please see my comment about the New York Times.

Excuse me? Who are you?

Just another subscriber like you. My comment supports your position about the MSM. I could post it here if you wish.

Yeah that's how commenting works. You don't tell people to go hunting for your comment. You just comment. :)

Voila. "The New York Times, AmericaтАЩs all-wise, all-knowing font of everlasting rectitude." Out-of-the-gate great writing, Jim, and it doesn't let up. I've been mauling the smarmy snots at the Times for as long as I can remember for leading readers "in their various C-suites, ivory towers, ateliers, yoga parlors, tasting rooms, bioweapon labs, and other haunts" into one war after another, as long as that war served the right purpose. And they have abetted the cover-ups of one murder after another, one scam after another, and one traitor after another. This piece must be added to one keeper after another. Congratulations again.

Years ago, my aunt-- who I did not know was a died in wool liberal-- mentioned that her adult daughter [a college professor] watched Rachel Maddow, and asked if I did. My response? "Is that the woman who looks like a man?"

Yes. As it turned out, I was correct.

Oh, the poor thing now only makes 20 million a year. What a travesty. She's laughing all the way to the bank.

As perverse as it may be, paying MadCow $20 million per year on a money-losing proposition, tells you she is a grubby corporate shill. Nothing more, nothing less. And she is publicly acknowledging it.

Expand full comment

Yeah but she has no conscience, she's a sociopath and a narcissist, like all people with her job. So she's probably good with that.

Would make me happy to never see another idiot like Bribem in the presidency

Sadly, our culture and system is designed to reward psychopaths, narcissists, etc. so we probably will.

Mary Queen, not just yet, totally. Trump will get his cabinet and will set off for 100 days to reverse the very costly programs the Libs tried to jam into place. I will agree, if Trump does not show progress, we are all in Deep State doo-doo.

JAZ - do you really think she's MQ?

Now that you've been outed, it won't be long until Janos is back on you about the lesbian snow-skiing club or whatever it was.

Lookit the lil' boy making the big man threats. Ain't you cute?

Ha, LA to Boise was a giveaway, Mary. I am glad you are here, as Mary Queen I read you regularly.

Mary Q - you do remember that on Jim's CFN site, before you threw in the towel a year or two ago, I defended you many times, right? From Janos and OG, and others. Don't like to see an unfair fight, but as they say, no good deed goes unpunished.

Seems your always present distaste for men, has become even more pronounced. Feminism is one thing, acute bitterness - another thing entirely. JFC, give it a rest, you'll be happier. Trust me.
