Say what???

Steve Kornacki just went on this big rant about TV ad buys by campaigns, with a graphic showing the disparity between how much the Clinton campaign has spent and how little the Trump campaign has spent. He then opined about how such spending apparently doesn’t make much of a difference, seeing as how the race is so tight.

Or maybe, dipstick, just maybe the spending disparity is due to the documented BILLIONS in free coverage the media has provided Trump, the near constant airtime that no other campaign could ever dream of buying.


Gawdamitey, I do miss the semblance of real journalism we used to have!

1. I used to think Kornacki was OK. Not lately.

Yep, you can save a bunch of money if you get tons of free publicity every day.

4. Kornaki was hired by MSNBC because he had an inside source on the Christie bridge scandal

He used to work on a web site run by one of Christie's gang - when he mentioned that I knew he was not a progressive at heart.

Career
Kornacki started his journalism career as a reporter for PoliticsNJ.com,[3] a New Jersey political news site owned by David Wildstein, where he worked from 2002 to 2006. During this time he was pen pals with Chris Christie,[4] among others. He formerly co-hosted a political news series at News 12 New Jersey and reported on the U.S. Congress for the newspaper Roll Call. His articles have been published in the New York Observer, the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, the New York Daily News, the New York Post, the Boston Globe, and the Daily Beast.

2. Trump is probably paying himself and his kids, out of the donations, for generating publicity

As a man with zero ethics, it would be a "no brainer".

3. You won't find that semblance of journalism by watching Steve Kornacki

You would have a better chance by watching Sponge Bob
