MSNBC producer quits, says job 'forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions'Producer becomes third major news industry figure to depart in a month over toxic media culture, following Bari Weiss and Andrew Sullivan...."July 24th was my last day at MSNBC. I don’t know what I’m going to do next exactly but I simply couldn’t stay there anymore," Pekary wrote. "My colleagues are very smart people with good intentions. The problem is the job itself. It forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis.You may not watch MSNBC but just know that this problem still affects you, too. All the commercial networks function the same – and no doubt that content seeps into your social media feed, one way or the other," she added.Pekary decried a culture in network news obsessed with ratings at the expense of quality, balanced news."The longer I was at MSNBC, the more I saw such choices — it’s practically baked in to the editorial process – and those decisions affect news content every day," she wrote. "Likewise, it’s taboo to discuss how the ratings scheme distorts content, or it’s simply taken for granted, because everyone in the commercial broadcast news industry is doing the exact same thing."Pekary said that "behind closed doors, industry leaders will admit the damage that’s being done" and quoted a colleague who declared "We are a cancer and there is no cure.”"As it is, this cancer stokes national division, even in the middle of a civil rights crisis. The model blocks diversity of thought and content because the networks have incentive to amplify fringe voices and events, at the expense of others… all because it pumps up the ratings," she added.

Please. Kettle meet pot.The clips out of context are just silly.
We've tried this before in this thread Philemon, and you're wise to acknowledge the futility of it. Jim/K9 and others are "all in" beyond any form of rationality. Its a fascinating psychological study.I threw in those links for a little fun. I’ll say this, though: Trump is clearly not one of history’s great leaders and anyone who thinks otherwise is doing a lot of mental gymnastics to maintain their distorted view of him. Not liking team blue does not absolve Trump of his sins. Anyone who doesn’t recognize that we’re in bad shape right now (and Trump has directly contributed to that) is kidding themselves. There’s no point talking about this with Trump fanboys/girls because they’re willfully refusing to acknowledge the facts. Does Biden suck? Does he appear to be profoundly incapable of leading the country through this crisis? Sure! Same with Trump. I can acknowledge the miserable circumstances and options we’re confronted with. Other people need to develop that capacity too, if we’re ever going to come up with effective responses to this disaster we’re living through.
***Those of you who will not vote for Trump in the autumn, should at least think about all the 'lovely' wars you may be re-igniting by doing so.
The Dems don't call it that, they say that the US will be open for business again!
Remember all those horrible wars and ask yourself a few obvious questions:
Korea
Vietnam
Former Yugoslavia
Iraq
Iraq
Afghanistan
Syria
Libya
Somalia
The Ukraine - the US helped to kick off the 'protests' that got rid of the duly elected president and split the country in two. They have also put a lot of weapons into that country. Russia got involved - I'll bet the politicians got a real thrill out of that.
Which of those wars have benefited the US? Which of them has benefited anyone except those with shares in arms manufacture or strutting politicians?
Are you really sure you want to let the Neocons persuade a weak president to let them kick off some more killing and destruction?
If you have kids, will you be encouraging them to go into the military and do their bit for US gory (sorry I meant glory)?
Will you feel any guilt when the body bags start come back and the not quite dead have to spend the rest of their lives in a wheelchair?

HA HA HA! Love it.
OMG, they walk among us! WTH? Crazy people. Are these people real? Okay, meanwhile back at the ranch... I just saw Biden & I can't stop laughing. I mean he's not well at all. It's actually terrible somebody has to stop it. You are not going to believe this one. Trump is looking really good now.... Attention Dems please cover your eyes & cry into your blankets:
