Make America Great Again?  Pfft, a little slice of Island on the East Coast of America was downright perfect last night, never mind great.  The unmarked NYPD Detective's car circling Shakedown Street never came to a complete stop or locked up any peace-loving salt of the earth Americans (that I witnessed), though I must admit probable cause was in abundance...the stars were aligned!

I think Clinton needs a better, close advisor.  She is surrounded by people who believe that they can and must "manage" our perceptions.  This is the purest hubris.  It explains her failures and remoteness and her continued reliance on overarticulated and overthought positions, papers, and policy statements.

The people complaining about "false balance" usually seem confident in having discovered the truth of things for themselves, despite the media's supposed incompetence. They're quite sure of whom to vote for and why. Their complaints are really about the impact that "false balance" coverage might have on other, lesser humans, with weaker minds than theirs. Which is not just snobbish, but laughably snobbish

And true

Me

dia consumers voting with their eyeballs for ever-dumber political coverage creates the biggest imbalance in reality, but the "false equivalency" debate is mostly over a separate, more parochial issue of journalistic ethics.
The essence of that debate is whether or not it's appropriate to write negative things about Hillary Clinton when there's a possibility that Donald Trump might become president. Or, rather, we may say negative things about Clinton, but only if we always drape reporting in plenty of context about the worse-ness of Trump, or something.
There's not much to say about this debate apart from the fact that it's phony and absurd and that the people shrieking for "balance" are almost always at heart censors who are really concerned with keeping a view of the world with which they disagree out of the news.

because we are all going to get in trouble here!!
