Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Again, The Audience Was The Problem

 Except CNN may have made it worse. Apparently they primed the audience to not boo Trump. If I'm right (first time for everything) and the real issue was that the audience made Trump seem more acceptable, then we have a real issue of CNN tilting the playing field towards Trump. I bet it comes out that they manipulated the audience's applause and laughter to amplify it.

Someone (Josh Marshall?) said that CNN has gone from a mandate to report the news to making the news. Their odious CEO said that the town hall "made news." 

Yeah, that ain't your job.
