I want his retirement home to be federal and/or state prison.

My feelings exactly. And not Club Fed - he needs to be in a real prison.

Gitmo comes to mind—sunny beaches, daily genital electroshocks, repeated waterboarding.... 🥰

Which "Fulton County Jail"? There's one in Atlanta, one in Kentucky, one in Indiana....

Sounds like "Fulton County Jail" is a popular place for cops to send people! 😂

I hear you, DeeDee, and I hope you are wrong; I hope that the people of integrity like Jack Smith and Fani Willis will get to put him on trial - including getting the Mar-a-Lago documents case.

Wonder if they ever considered the fact that people are sick of everything to do with trump and turn those broadcasts off? And never go back for more of his filth.

The well educated hate mongers are NOT testimonials for those various Ivy League schools. Their time at the various institutions did NOT contribute one iota to their moral development. In fact, I would say that the environment at those “elite” schools contributed to the already noticeable lack of a moral compass.

For the last few years I’ve noticed all these wackos who are smart but still wackos, with their law degrees from Harvard or Yale.

Living in Arizona I remember the cherished Sandra Day O’Connor giving W the presidency. Before she died she admitted she wanted a Republican President. She went to Stanford.

Josh Hawley did his undergrad at Stanford and law at Yale. Mike Pompeo went to Harvard law school.

Anyone see a trend here?

All are trained in the dark art of sophism.

If you take a bad guy or gal and train him/her in sophism he or she is just a skilled bad person.

I did expert witness work for 25 years. I learned lawyers are Palladines who can rationalize that it is their job to represent their clients interest. If their client is Trump, so be it.

Integrity? I hear the adjective from ever politician and lawyer describing themselves

Let’s be honest—is there such a thing—Bill Clinton was a liar and sleaze in office. The great cosmic joke all the Repugnants calling him out on it were slimy dogs far worse than Clinton.

There is no Camelot and never has been.

Didn’t mean to insult dogs.

For all these domestic terrorists ranting about liberal elite universities and colleges they hang their diplomas on their own walls.

Clearly elite status does not come with a moral backbone. I had to look up sophism, and the definition made it very clear that you are correct about who these lawyers are.

Elite status. When I hear those two words together my antennae go up. I put my nose on high alert to see if I can smell from which direction the bullshit is going to come.

The Orange Filth is going all "Central Park Five" on the Haitian community in Springfield, OH, and all the corporate media can do is a couple of lame "fact checks" then just keep showing his hate-fests and publishing his hateful, racist rhetoric...ZERO responsibility and even less accountability to the public.

I agree with what Andy Borowitz is saying, but I also believe that they’re missing out on an even better story that’s sure to gather quality ratings in Kamala Harris’s rising star and her catapult to the top of the Democratic Party. It’s not boring, it’s not bloated overblown hype with endless lies like you get from the other idiot and his supporters… What Harris and Walz provide is fresh, it’s hopeful, it’s positive and it’s not boring!

If what Andy is saying is really going on, I can only compare the fascination with Trump stories on corporate media with the people that have to slow down at a car crash or whenever they see flashing ambulance or police lights to gawk and nose around thinking they’ll “See A Real Dead Guy” or something. There’s never anything to see, but they want to see something, anything… it’s ridiculous if you ask me. It’s also like listening to the same song over and over and over and over again. It’s the same old song, it doesn’t change. It’s not going to sound any better no matter how many times you hear it… Same Old Song.

I also think the corporate media is going to be in trouble when Harris wins and they put all of their eggs in the Trump basket, when he goes bye-bye and there’s no more lies and bluster to report on, what are they going to do? I really look forward to that trouble happening here soon. It will finally be peaceful again! Hopefully…

He’ll kick up such a fuss, all the attention will be on him.

But, he will eventually go away… as in go away to Mar-U-Lago or preferably a comfy cell in a Federal Penitentiary. But he’ll go away nonetheless, eventually.

And you’ve heard of infestation, be it rat or some other vermin infesting someone’s habitat? Once you get rid of the main rat, the King Rat so to speak, the rest of the rat colony dies off or moves on to try another infestation elsewhere. But, it’s usually not as healthy of an infestation because that Lead Rat was taken down… Think Of Hitler and his ilk.

Everything Dies Off Eventually

Haha, like ants and bees too! I hope you’re right. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s just trump anymore. He’s created a movement.

Thanks for explaining what is going on with corporate media. I have gotten to the point where I don't even read the stories. The headlines are bad enough. For example, a headline that just came across my phone says: "A social media account run by Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has repeatedly used misleading captions and video edits in its posts." Come on......besides being "clickbait", why aren't they talking about the hundreds of lies that HIS campaign is telling?

The corporate media’s billionaire overlords are addicted to ratings and money rather than providing unbiased, informative coverage to voters. I have a friend who says no, no, that’s not why they’re doing it, but they can’t answer why. People need to wake up. Nothing is going to save us except for voting.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Harris’s rallies weren’t covered in real time. Instead, Drumpf’s pitiful rally was on in real time. As if we need to see more about this deranged domestic terrorist’s idiotic and dangerous rants.

Good reasoned explanation by Andy Borowitz

Corporate media is our enemy because the news media job is to inform the electorate. As Plato so wisely pointed out, a republic can't work because the oligarchs will never allow an informed electorate. The proof is in the pudding.

Surely corporate media realizes they’re shooting themselves in the face and will never recover their dignity.

Terrific Job,Dean, you explain here exactly how the"Corporate Media" machine works, and what their main goals are with regards to trump. It boils down to"Money" and"Greed"at the expense of the American people. Brilliant piece this morning.💯💙🇺🇸🌊🌊🌊

I don't understand something. If Fox only has 2 million viewers, how can there be so many Trumpists? Or am I misunderstanding the numbers?

Well, of course! The (clown) show must go on. Or, according to Mr. P. T. Barnum: “There’s a sucker born every minute” … and NOT a soldier but MAGA America.

Has the media considered what their access to the former guy would be like if he were to win this election?

“As to the question about when will corporate media finally stop giving Trump a pass and free media coverage, the award-winning Borowitz stated bluntly, “My answer to you is when they stop making money on Trump.””

And therein lies the problem. When all media boils down solely to profits, they become evil. It’s true of any business that sees everything in terms of profits. And doubly so when there is no regulation (the fairness doctrine is gone).

I hate that $ is the reason corporate media bows to MAGAcult and provide free campaign advertising cause that’s essentially what they’re doing. That means KH/TW are running against TWO organizations. I’m glad, Dean, that you are trying to equalize that imbalance in coverage. When we finally put down MAGA for good you will be able to take much of the credit. Thank you.
