It stuns me reading and seeing all the mainstream media stories that Trump’s speech is covered as if it were given by a normal president.

It was in fact an incoherent mess of bragging, recriminations, lies, vague promises and general nonsense delivered by a mumbling idiot caked in orange make-up.

Watch it if you don’t believe me.

Until these rants are covered accurately, I don’t have much hope for American media.

@samlitzinger I used to keep a spreadsheet with over 1,000 media organizations and journalists covering Michigan. Then I started adding information on who owned them. It seemed like a dozen corporations owned the media organizations. Most of these are owned by a few right wing oligarchs. Reporters know that if they depart from what their employers want, they won't have a job. So, I don't see many willing to go against their employers.
