Bloomberg TV's Incredibly Stupid 2016 Election Night Coverage

This is rich. Halperin and Heilemann promoted themselves as a political Mensa group.

They are joined by Mike Murphy, perhaps Roger Goodell's strongest challenger to the most overpaid man in the world title. Murphy oversaw Jeb Bush's $100 million dollar war chest and failed to get a bronze medal. Of course, he tries to shroud Trump early on.

What is so amazing--and it is amazing--is how consistently wrong every talking head happens to be. You would think that the law of averages might catch up with them. Nope.

 It was rumored that Bloomberg execs were so embarrassed by the predictions that they did what they could to scrub it from the Internet. Understand, this is a shortened version of the original broadcast. So we start out with the Trump sneers and "When will the Republicans learn?" and "Will Trump accept his loss with grace?" and "How will Hillary pull the country together?"Then it skips the middle act and this being Bloomberg, they jump into their financial analysis.

The economic wizards make Paul Krugman look clever. It is startling how consistently wrong they are in retrospect. One woman says outright that a growth rate beyond two per cent is not possible. Let us all rejoice that average people are infinitely smarter than the intelligentsia.


THIS IS WHAT SUPERIORITY LOOKS LIKE?

So We Can Call Them Redskins But Washington Has To Go?

Less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump was ridiculed for suggesting it would happen, calls to remove monuments to George Washington have begun.

Bishop James Dukes, pastor of the Liberation Christian Center, has asked Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to remove the names of presidents who owned slaves and the bronze statue of George Washington on horseback. The Washington monument stands at the corner of 51st and King Drive, located at the northwest entrance to Washington Park.

Mr. Dukes told CBS Chicago Gen. Washington might be the nation’s first president and the leader of the Revolutionary Army, but “he’s no hero to the black community.”

Peoples Pundit Daily:

Russiagate Is Now Officially The World's Stupidest Conspiracy

It's Official! The sanctioning body of Stupid Conspiracy Theories in conjunction with the Post Obotomy Syndrome Board Of Directors in accordance with Akashic Broken Records has decreed that the "PUTIN STOLE THE ELECTION FROM HILLARY BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP HAS COOTIES" narrative is the stupidest conspiracy theory in the history of Planet Earth.

The incoherent Russian Hacking jibberish surpasses Flat Earthism, Fake Moon Landing and the unsinkable 9/11 Inside Job as the silliest pile of nothingness ever assembled. Unlike the other spaghetti logic memes, Russian Hacking has been promoted by most media outlets, as well as the US Senate and the US Department of Justice. Never before have we seen the inventing, the embracing and the promotion of unfounded claims by institutions once held in high regard by most of the public.

Never has America witnessed the widespread promotion of deliberate stupidity by the highest echelons of society. NEVER!!! The fringe has grown respectable and the respectable proudly display their dunce caps. Overt idiocy is now a badge of social status.

Some of my best friends are 9/11 Truthers and I disagree with their viewpoint but I have respect for them. On the other hand, none of us should ever respect the "No fire but lots of smoke" morons who obstruct government and pollute our airways. I agree with Lionel. The Truthers are owed an apology.

I Can't Get Enough Of This Stuff

Yes, this vid is like a lot of others but it showcases some facets previously ignored.

 Maddow states with utter glee that Trump had but one newspaper endorsement (the number would later swell to two I believe).

Maddow's attitude towards what could be seen as a stacked deck or rigged system or worse yet, a testimonial to the irrelevancy of newspapers shows an arrogance incapable of shame.

More nuggets: Maddow recites NYT, Nate Silver, et al, and their wondrous gifts of prophecy. Trump's 3% chance of winning. It's fun to go back and think how the ruling class's propagandists tried ever so hard to discourage us.

 This is a gem.

Beyond Fake News: Maddow Blames Venezuelan Riots On Donald Trump

This story could use a few elves and unicorns and dragons and wizards to prop up its credibility. We accept that the Maddows twist the news to their liking but even in the silliest Putin-stole-the-election-from-Hillary falsehood, there are a few basic facts to distort. Here, Maddow resorts to promoting pure and absolute fantasy. It is a stark reminder of just how indifferent to truth the Left shall ever be. Frightening.

Sadly, most Leftists are brain dead zombies who want to be deceived by the likes of Maddow.

IT WAS A WORKER'S PARADISE BEFORE TRUMP GOT INAUGURATED

This Press Conference Will Live In Infamy

To say Trump is entertaining is to vastly understate things. He is laugh out loud funny.

I have played this segment about a half dozen times and I am sure I will return to it whenever I feel down. For years we have yearned for someone who will stand up to the bullies in the press. At last, a hero has emerged.

Trump might be the only public figure in American History to be heckled (repeatedly) by the news media. I am not even a tiny bit nostalgic for the days when bold news figures rose from their seats and inquired as to what the president found most enchanting about his journey of personal discovery. This is quality entertainment.

BTW, I chose this vid from an array of choices because RT posted it. They have been accused of delivering fake news but they cannot hold a candle to CNN in that category.

Apologies to RT. It might not matter now that they have shortened their name to RT but I always referred to them as "Russian Times." Their real name was "Russia Today." Now they are just RT. I hope I can keep that name straight.

"MR. PRESIDENT ELECT, THAT IS NOT APPROPRIATE."

Down Nausea Lane: Reviewing The Rise Of Obama's Sycophantic Press And The Death Of Objectivity

When Obama ran for President four years later, news reporters led the cheers. “It’s almost hard to remain objectivebecause it’s infectious, the energy, I think,” then-NBC reporter Lee Cowan confessed in an MSNBC.com video posted January 7, 2008. On CNN a few days later, Politico editor John Harris admitted: “A couple years ago, you would send a reporter out with Obama, and it was like they needed to go through detox when they came back — ‘Oh, he’s so impressive, he’s so charismatic,’ and we’re kind of like, ‘Down, boy.’”

As a candidate, the Associated Press celebrated Obama as “something special,” while as President-elect, the Washington Post drooled over his “chiseled pectorals,” on display during a vacation in Hawaii. As President, reporters touted his “prodigious talents,” his “amazing legislative agenda,” and his “huge achievements.” And as an individual, journalists fawned over Obama, calling him “one of our brightest presidents,” a “huge visionary,” “the perfect American,” “our national poet,” and “the most noble man who has ever lived in the White House.”

A Boatload Of Jeremiahs

This is all the sweeter for Mike Murphy's appearance at about 10:00. Prior to calling the general election about as wrong as possible, Murphy worked on the Jeb Bush campaign where he famously secured fifth place for his candidate in Iowa at the unheard of cost of $2,884 per vote. He also formulated the ingenious strategy of attacking Christie, Rubio and Kasich, leaving Trump, Cruz and Carson untouched. Somehow, this buffoon commands a seven-figure salary. What a country!
