for the tv networks and cable news to stop broadcasting these shit shows live. They should just run recorded excerpts during normal news broadcasts with thorough fact-checking in the chyrons.

so we can use them in campaign ads, but don't broadcast them live. Just give us a brief synopsis after the fact checking has been done.

In the Simpsons episode "Sideshow Bob's Last Gleaming", Sideshow Bob steals a nuclear bomb and detonating it with the intent of ending TV forever. Krusty, on the other hand, realizes the potential of being on TV 24 hours a day to land 100% of the audience, and goes to steal the Emergency Broadcast System signal. This is really kind of what this feels like right now. Trump is the only game in town and he wants those sweet, sweet ratings.

He is creating the “other”. He is turning us into the evil Jew that Hitler created. His crazy assed followers are going to turn on is with violence if he keeps this up. And I think he wants it that way.

against an evil fifth columnist news anchor, hell-bent on disparaging the sacred ratings?

I guess in "Rollerball", he was seeing the whole thing as a business model too ...

I just heard him say, "they estimated 200-240,000 deaths on the low side. This is bullshit but it plays well to the new number - which he is probably at least 50% responsible for.

——

A model that had estimated the number of COVID-19-related deaths in the U.S. to range from 100,000 to 240,000 has been revised and is now forecasting a death toll by Aug. 4 to be around 60,415, with a peak in daily deaths of 2,212 on April 12.

After all, they keep yelling that the official (and only) language of the USA is English, which has little to nothing in common with whatever language Trump is ranting in.
