For this reason I like to watch the 2016 election night coverage, especially ABC. It's like a big improbable beach book. It's all there: the arrogance of the media in assembling a large group of reporters only one of whom supported Trump; the blindness at the beginning of the evening as to what was coming; the total bewilderment as it becomes clear that Trump is winning "But how could we ALL be wrong?" "How could ALL the polls be wrong?" "But, but Hillary did everything right - she had a great convention, she won all three debates, she had a perfect ground game, she outspent Trump 2 to 1, a majority said she had the temperament to be President, what, what, what HAPPENED?" Then at first the reporters try to answer the question: what happened? That part is very interesting. But what is more interesting is that after awhile they drop the question and begin denouncing Trump and his supporters in the way they have been doing since the election. Then there is the episode where the Clinton camp (which has persuaded the media not to call the election) tries at 1:30 AM to send everyone including Trump home till the next day and Trump responds by setting out for his victory party which causes Clinton to concede. This catches the networks unprepared. Trump gives his acceptance speech before the major networks can change their totals and show him winning 270 electoral votes which makes them look like idiots(there will many similar episodes in days to come.) A lot that goes on that night which has never been explained and a lot goes on which predicts all that has happened since then with respect to the media and Trump.<br /><br />For instance, the media point out that Trump never polled more than 40% throughout the election cycle - so how could they have predicted he would win. And, Trump is polling 40% right now!!!! Trump's campaign was "chaotic". Trump's Presidency is "chaotic." The Democrat was a sure winner in 2016 campaigning solely on opposition to Trump. And the Democrats are sure winners in 2018 campaigning solely on opposition to Trump.wildswanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975129877750876072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-45933508042057730642017-07-30T21:49:46.995-05:002017-07-30T21:49:46.995-05:00"It's pretty stupid to vote for someone y..."It's pretty stupid to vote for someone you hadn't previously intended to vote for simply because he pisses off people you dislike."<br /><br />Keep telling them how stupid they are for all the reasons you can imagine/conjur.<br /><br />Because you are smart and have a duty to let the stupid know they are such.<br /><br />Don't delay, call everybody stupid and dumb today!Guildofcannonballshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352588747567045751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-79412239981278528592017-07-30T20:56:24.925-05:002017-07-30T20:56:24.925-05:00Having seen the pictures yesterday from Perrysvill...Having seen the pictures yesterday from Perrysville, I was curious about the town's history and demographics. It had the look of a place that prosperity has passed by. Perhaps that was just that particular street, I thought. Here is what Wikipedia had to say about the town's history:<br /><br /><i>Perrysville was platted and surveyed in 1825 by James Blair on a bluff on the west side of the Wabash River. The town is named for Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry, the hero of the Battle of Lake Erie.[7] It became a local center for shipping products to New Orleans on flatboats via the Wabash, Ohio, and Mississippi Rivers, and it was also able to receive heavy equipment and manufactured items on steamboats. Prior to the advent of the railroad in the second half of the nineteenth century, the town's location on the river made for a thriving community; it is reputed to have been the largest town between Chicago and Terre Haute at the height of its success. The arrival of the Wabash and Erie Canal enhanced its importance even further; a sidecut with locks allowed boats to be towed across the river to the town. Various roads intersected here, including a plank toll road from Danville, Illinois to the west, and stagecoach traffic became frequent. However, when the railroads did arrive, and failed to pass through the town, it spelled the eventual end of the vital river traffic, and of the importance of the town of Perrysville.[8]</i><br /><br />From the 2010 census, we learn that the town had a population of 456, and was 98.2% white. The 2016 population estimate was 434, which would be the lowest since the 1930 census. The town's population peak was 742 in 1850.<br /><br />The other thing I wondered is how the people who live in Perrysville make their living. Most cities and towns have some sort of business that drives the economy. Whether it's a factory or a mine, a college or a seat of government, or just general tourism, every town has it's <i>raison d'etre</i>. I'm not sure what Perrysville's would be these days.<br />Clydehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736461252925227611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-25967447792893348682017-07-30T20:53:11.114-05:002017-07-30T20:53:11.114-05:00So, it's agreed then.

Kinsley is among the most honest liberals in the press. The column was very strange. The first five paragraphs were an excellent assessment and admission of media bias (both "hiding" in the past) and now he admits it is open and obvious - naming names Post, Times and CNN plus "other establishment media."<br /><br />Then, Kinsley wandered down the same path, with silliness about Russian collusion and about Hiss and the Rosenbergs. But copied below is the first five paragraphs: <br /><br />"Yes, it’s true that Hillary Clinton got more votes, but he got the votes of more than 62 million people — and I am pretty sure I don’t know any of them. You can make a rude joke about Donald Trump in places like Washington and the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and be confident that nothing you say will give offense.<br /><br />It would be nice, I have long thought, to have an openly opinionated press as Britain does, with papers such as The Guardian in London. Instead of hiding their biases, writers and correspondents could say what they think, and readers could discount accordingly.<br /><br />Well, since Mr. Trump became a serious possibility for president, we have had that world I longed for, and I’m not so sure I want it.<br /><br />The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN and other establishment outlets have been brazenly, laughably hostile to Mr. Trump, in their news pages as well as their opinion sections. Maybe this hostility is justified. In fact, I think it probably is.<br /><br />But that doesn’t justify reaching out to twist stories or looking for the anti-Trump angle. Nor does it justify the open hoping — if not assuming — that something will come along to rid us of this turbulent hotelier. Impeachment is supposed to be an occasional tragic necessity, not just another tool for replacing the results of an election."<br />Kansas Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630367629067743935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-91015056379198417022017-07-30T13:12:29.669-05:002017-07-30T13:12:29.669-05:00Is he wrong?
