Whether they will admit it or not, the MSM has become a propaganda arm for the Trump administration. They failed to hold him accountable in 2016 because he was good for "clicks", "likes" and soundbites. They've compounded that failure in the last two years by exploiting his shitshow for ratings while never holding him accountable for his lies, unqualified nominees, failed policies and all around horrible behavior because of their fear of losing access. We need more media outlets run by independent sources...and women who are not afraid to speak truth to power because we've had to do it for decades.
In 2015 Rachel Maddow held one on one interviews with each of the Demcratic candidates at a Democratic candidate’s forum. If I remember correctly they were all done in front of an audience in an early primary state and they were were back to back. Those interviews were the best format I have ever seen for getting a feel for a candidate and their positions, values, etc. Some of the questions were personal but others were very serious and substantive.
All three - Bernie, Hillary and Martin O’Malley, were impressive and gave very intelligent, well thought out answers. I would love to see a lot more of that kind of interview but I doubt many people could carry it off the way Rachel did - respectful, substantive, challenging but no gotcha questions or focus on inside-the-beltway talking points. Chris Hayes and Joy Reid are capable of that kind of interview even with people they strongly disagree with but more prominent people like Chuck Todd are the problem, not the answer.
Just heard you on Sirius with MichaelAnthony Signorelli’s show. Why they (the msm) keeps track of trumps lies is beyond me! It’s like they like that he lies and we need to call him out and hold him accountable. I think Obama handled the Ebola outbreak very well and trump only cares about the stock market and how much money he’s losing. He makes me sick!
I have always tried to catch you on various SiriusXM shows, and when I caught you last night on the Dean Obeidallah Show I was prompted to subscribe. Keep up the great work Eric, IMO you have been the most consistent progressive voice over the past years.

The CCCP (Corporate Controlled Conservative Press) is a key component of the Republican 24/7 BS machine that endlessly spews Republican propaganda.
Just wait till this new disease really spreads in the US and you'll see the CCCP pin the blame NOT on Trump's budget cuts but they will blame Obama.

Totally agree. Has the MSM been purchased, as well? An aside, I appreciate your musical recommendations.
