Ep 966: The Persistence of Memory
from The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal · host Driftglass and Blue Gal
The legacy media's "Both Sides Do It" conventional wisdom is a rotting corpse they've been sleeping with for decades while pretending they couldn't see Trump's fascism coming. David Brooks gets rewarded with cushy jobs at The Atlantic and Yale after being spectacularly wrong for 22 years, while PBS replaces him with a right-wing nobody who praises Trump as "the voice of reason" because of course they did. It's past time to destroy the media's claim that "nobody saw this coming" by pointing out that liberal bloggers have been right all along. But liberals are kept off mainstream air because acknowledging their critique as correct would wreck the legacy media's business model. Meanwhile, resistance continues in Minneapolis with street memorials, and a federal judge issues a scathing opinion comparing Trump's deportation forces to the tyranny that sparked the American Revolution.Stay in Touch!
