Donald Trump is staging a town hall on CNN and this is a true paradox of sorts, and we’ll explain why. There is, of course, more news unspooling regarding the aftermath of the Fox-Tucker divorce, with developments concerning both sides of the dispute. While the former #1 TV pundit makes an announcement about his next project the news media has unraveled, expressing dismay that someone in the media might have free expression. Meanwhile, Fox is busy attempting to spin their latest condition, as its ratings continue to spiral.
Then we look at a new deal that has been struck to further entrench the New York Times as a news gatekeeper, with a costly partnership made with Google that is a bit unsettling. Then we’ll close by displaying how the Associated Press is perfectly content to dispatch all pretense of objectivity in its news reporting.
Now, crack one open and savor some mainstream media mayhem and malpractice.
