THE DANIEL DALE EXPERIENCE: Wallace wonders about The Others!

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2018

Speaks only to favorite friends:
Doggone it!

This morning, we wanted to share something Nicolle Wallace said on Monday afternoon's Deadline: White House. But when we tried to activate the original link to the videotape of that day's program, we received this message:
The video you're looking for is no longer available.
Please go to msnbc on demand to see the latest videos.
Go figure! MSNBC maintains a web site for the Deadline program. But it doesn't publish transcripts for the show, and it posts limited video clips.

But then, oh wait! Just this morning, we finally found this videotape for the first segment of Monday's Deadline program. This let us transcribe something Wallace said in a long, heartfelt, unwise discussion of allegedly racist behavior by King Donald J. Trump.

Wallace cited a recent ad promoted by Donald J. Trump. NBC had chosen to run the ad, then took it down, due to what a spokesperson described as its "insensitive nature." (According to NBC News, the announcement was made by Joe Benarroch, "a spokesperson for NBC's advertising sales department.")

NBC had cited the ad's "insensitive nature." Wallace described the ad as racist, then asked the following questions:
WALLACE (11/5/18): But how is this where we are? And how is this, how is this, about race, how is this not a 90/10 issue? How are 90 percent of Americans—white, black, brown, men—how are 90 percent of Americans not vehemently, not so upset about racism that they're not out marching and protesting all Republicans?
"I don't know," Gene Robinson said. "You know, I guess I'm not the guy to ask that." Zerlina Maxwell then shared her thoughts about Wallace's heartfelt questions.

Readers, can we talk? As we noted Tuesday, Wallace was conducting this discussion with the group she assembles every day—with "some of [her] favorite reporters and friends." In practice, this is another way of saying that everyone in her five-member pundit panel was going to agree with every word Wallace was going to say.

There would be no disputes, questions, disagreements or shadings of meaning; no alternate views of any kind would arise during the hour. No discouraging words would be heard as Wallace conducted her latest semi-discussion with her favorite reporters and friends.

Wallace's ardor was clear on the point she had raised. That said, we could remember the halcyon days when she helped George W. Bush drive up conservative turnout in 2004 by getting same-sex marriage propositions onto various state ballots. In Ohio, let's say!

In this way, her previous morally perfect views had helped defeat Candidate Kerry. We thought of this as we observed her morally perfect behavior this day.

In fairness, that was then and this was now. In her current incarnation, Wallace has such heartfelt feelings about racism that she can't imagine why anyone but the "troglodyte tenth" isn't out there marching and protesting against King Trump's behavior, indeed against all Republicans.

"Sad!" said several of our young analysts. Here's what they said they meant:

It would be perfectly easy for Wallace to learn, or at least to try to learn, why everyone isn't out their marching and protesting, the heartfelt stance she has now adopted in her role on corporate cable. Here's why that would be easy:

There are 63 million different people who voted for Candidate Trump in 2016. And not only that! Just this week, something like 46 percent of voters supported a Republican candidate in the nation's House elections.

Why aren't 90 percent of the people protesting all the racism? Given the network resources at her disposal, it would be amazingly easy for Wallace to interview some of those people—to ask them questions like that, right on cable news air.

She could ask these actual people why they're still supporting Trump and/or other Republicans. She could stop restricting herself to her "favorite reporters and friends." She could descend from her mountain aerie speak to some Others for once!

Given the millions of people involved, there would be no way to form a "scientifically valid" assessment of the reason(s) why so many people aren't marching along with Wallace.

On the brighter side, such interviews might constitute a type of reunion. Almost surely, Wallace would be speaking to some of the people she helped drive to the polls in 2004 through that anti-marriage drive!

We feel sure that Wallace is a very nice person in her personal life. On the other hand, it might be time for her to discard her Orinda/Cal Berkeley/Bush 2004 tuffet and speak to some of the teeming masses who congregate down on the plain.

The segregation is general and self-imposed on Wallace's daily program. Wallace speaks to her favorite friends. She speaks to nobody else.

Future anthropologists, living in caves, have commented to us about this familiar "cable news" conduct.

As we've explained in the past, these experts communicate through exotic electronic communications created by some of the blasts which occurred during the global conflagration they refer to as Mister Trump's War. Mournfully, these experts have spoken to us in late-night transmissions which almost resemble dreams:

Man [sic] was never the rational animal, they've frequently mournfully said. Man [sic] was the animal which was strongly inclined to restrict itself to interactions with favorite reporters and friends!

(Quoting these experts more precisely: "Man [sic] was the animal which assembled in tribes and invented scathing critiques of The Others." These future cave-dwellers have often turned to "cable news" for example of the unhelpful impulses bred in the bone of our warlike species.)

On Monday afternoon, the analysts tore their hair, even saying "Ow ow ow," as they watched the conversation on Wallace's restricted program. Having said that, dear God!

Right before watching Deadline, they'd watched the videotape of CNN's Reliable Sources program from the day before. In the course of a strikingly hapless discussion, they'd seen the Toronto Star's Daniel Dale identify a recent obvious "lie" by Trump.

They screamed and howled and torn at their hair. Tomorrow, we'll show you why.

Tomorrow: Daniel Dale's obvious recent "lie" and other dispiriting statements

Saturday: Who was the late (and sacred) Amal Hussain? Why haven't you heard her name?

  1. "racist behavior by King Donald J. Trump"

    Oh dear. I believe what you meant there was the title of 'emperor-for-8-years'. Although I still have hopes for that fascist takeover you were promising...

    "She could descend from her mountain aerie speak to some Others for once!"

    Tsk. No, she couldn't. That would constitute gross negligence, leading to losing not only her extremely lucrative job, but also her extremely high social standing in the globalist establishment...

  2. IMHO that ad was not racist IMHO. It showed bad behavior by some illegal immigrants, who happened to be be Hispanic. But, what it showed was real. The behavior it showed was just as bad as portrayed.

    There's a practice in today's media that considers it racist to to show the race of a criminal when he happens to be black. Apparently some people want to extend that practice to Hispanics.

    2. To be called 'racist' by dembots and/or lib-zombies is the highest honor any living-breathing individual can receive.

    3. Pshaw!
      Being called "Establishment Elite" is the highest honor any living-breathing Conservative can receive.
      Congratulations for being recognized for all the hours and hard work you put into your job.

  3. Perhaps Wallace, who is (or was) a Republican (an “Other” to use Somerby’s term), has finally realized and rejected the cesspool of hate and fear-mongering and ugly demagoguery that the Republican Party always engages in, now that Trump, an actual racist, has amped it into overdrive.

  4. Even if the ad had been 100% truthful (which it wasn’t), is no one allowed to point out its attempt to demonize illegal immigrants from Latin American countries in order to stoke fear in the ad’s intended audience?
    How can you point this out without calling it what it is, ie bigotry/racism? Because that’s what it is. Sorry, Bob.

  5. Caesar - Under today's US law, the WW2 Jews would have qualified as refugees. Their lives were in danger from their governments specifically because of who they were. The Central American caravaners traveling through Mexico are not refugees under US law. They simply want to live in the US. They're not under specific threat of death from their governments. Also, they've been offered the opportunity to live safely in Mexico.

    Second point: Our country's policies should be based on law, not on the sympathy of the President. A democracy should follow democratically enacted laws. If Democrats want these migrants to be allowed to live in the US or if they want open borders, they should propose law changes to that effect.

  6. David, US policy on refugees IS based on law. Why do you imagine it is otherwise? Second, these people are allowed to present their claims for asylum. Those claims are evaluated by US officials, and either accepted or rejected. That is how it works. Apparently, you have already adjudicated the cases of each and every individual in that caravan. And THAT is called basing a decision on personal whim, rather than settled law.

    1. In theory 12:49, you have a point. But, in practice our policy is to allow 11 million (or 22 million, according to a Yale study) illegal immigrants to reside in the US. The intent of these large caravans is to crush their way into the US, just as they crushed their way into Mexico, and to stay here illegally.

    2. Come out from under your bed, David. We promise no more scary tales.

    3. DinC,
      When a (white) gunman kills 4, 12, 50, (white) people is that 1 murderer? 50 murders?
      Or is it 50 murderers with 1 murder each?
      Life is good.
      Show me some numbers.
      You would kill me if you could get away with it.

    7. DinC, Numbers that show Multiple murders of people unknown to the murderers.
      Remember those murdered are unknown to the killers.
      And they are still dead.
      BTW, What are Automatic rifles designed to shoot?

  8. "whim" is a funny word for "bigotry".

  9. Poor Black and Hispanic Americans are hurt by the illegal immigrants, and they know it. Jobs are taken away. Salaries are driven down. That's why both groups support Trump's enforcement. For me to support a policy that's good for poor blacks and Hispanics is the opposite of bigotry.

  10. 2:10,
    So, unlike the Republican Party, you are 100% good with legal immigration? Let's see if you and Mao can get that onto the Republican Party plank. It should be easy, because they care so much about blacks and Hispanics.
    Good luck.

  12. What are you talking about, dembot? We're used to dembots here being retarded, but you're beyond that, boldly going where no dembot has gone before.

    Now it's only a matter of time till you're demoted into dem-spammers.
