Key takeaways from #CorporateMedia punditry about the #VPDebate:
- #Facts don't matter
- It's all about the feels
- Style over substance
- #Lying is just fine if you are confident and poised while doing it
- #Racism is just fine if you do it without screaming
- Scapegoating of #immigrants is just #normal American politics (again)
What did I miss?

in reply to charvaka • • •Well I think it’s really important to point out that this is reflective of the population.
It’s not just corporate media punditry, it’s reflecting attitudes in a society where institutions have failed the public so badly that it left a vacuum that is promoting these particular politicians.
To focus on corporate media is to miss what’s really going on. We need institutions to reform themselves and regain public trust.
