The Press, the Storyline, and Politics USA
Posted by Mystic Scholar on Sep 13th, 2016 | 0 comments
This comment by Belichick says it all about the press and how utterly dense and clueless they can be. All the reporter is interested in is what the STORYLINE is about their quarterback (Jimmy Garropolo), but all Belichick is interested in is getting his work done.
And that’s exactly what’s happening with Hillary Clinton and the presidential election. The media is in a frenzy about her health and pneumonia, because they need a STORYLINE to take down the front runner and because they want to equalize the two candidates as if they are both legitimate contenders for the presidency in order to create a horserace to attract more advertisers and readers. That’s their story and they’re sticking with it no matter what.
I remember Joe Friday in Dragnet: “Just the facts.” For the media, it’s “Just the storyline.”
This is the sad state of affairs that currently passes for the press and media in the U.S.
