We checked the Times web site at 4:45!

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2021

Our surprise at what we found: Three quick takeaways from today's proceedings:

Loathing the lawyers: On MSNBC, there was a lot of snark and a lot of loathing directed at Trump's lawyers. Might we state an obvious point?

In many ways, a lawyer is only as good as his or her client. In this case, the lawyers' client happens to be a deeply disordered person.

Under our system, a profoundly disordered person gets to have a legal defense too. It actually isn't the lawyers' fault if that leaves them with amazingly little to offer. 

(For ourselves, we thought the lawyers did a much better job than Brian and Nicole did.)

Loathing MSNBC: We really grew to hate the propagandistic stylings of Brian and Nicole today. (We're sure they're both nice people.) Simply put, we're now living within wholly segregated, wholly propagandistic journalistic realms. In the end, you can't run a modern nation that way, though the "journalists" can earn huge salaries.

(For obvious reasons, you aren't allowed to know how huge the salaries actually are. They're well paid for their obedience.)

As seen at the New York Times: At 4:45 P.M. Eastern, we briefly checked the New York Times web site. Amazingly, these were the banner headlines atop the site's front page:

Channeling Trump's Style, Lawyers Conclude Incendiary Defense
After Trump Team Tries to Rewrite Narrative, Senators Move to Questions

Sometimes, you just have to laugh, if only as a way of maintaining your sanity. That said, long live traditional journalism! Such journalism is dead.

  1. "In many ways, a lawyer is only as good as his or her client. In this case, the lawyers' client happens to be a deeply disordered person."

    This is one of the stupidest things I've ever read. A disordered person doesn't deserve a disordered defense. He or she deserves a competent defense.

    Trump's lawyers are being reviled because they were as disordered as Trump. They told numerous lies, they presented irrelevant information, they failed to address objections raised to their own statements, they were disorganized, repetitive and even attacked Democrats using statements that had nothing to do with Trump's actions or the accusations against him. It was a terrible performance.

    If a lawyer were defending a crook, he is not expected to behave like a crook during that defense. Somerby's proposal here is ludicrous and clearly wrong. As incompetent as Trump's own lawyers were today.

  2. "For ourselves, we thought the lawyers did a much better job than Brian and Nicole did."

    In fairness, Brian and Nicole are not lawyers so they should not be held to the same standard.

    1. If Brian and Nicole tried to be lawyers, they would be 10 times better than Trump's gang today.

  3. "Simply put, we're now living within wholly segregated, wholly propagandistic journalistic realms."

    Wholly segregated? Propagandistic? I watched on CBSN and there was not editorializing, it was strictly the proceedings (except during breaks). I could have watched PBS or listened to NPR, or watched on Youtube or CSPAN, or another network. How then is the media segregated? Where was the propaganda? Somerby apparently made a choice to watch something and now regrets it, but that doesn't mean he had no choice about what to watch.

  4. I find the NY Times description accurate. The failure of the Republicans to take this hearing seriously is the most incendiary part. They are telling MAGA rioters that what they did was A-OK with them, and they are giving Trump license to continue his assault on democratic government. That is incendiary in my book. NY Times is behind a paywall, so I do not know what they intended, but I find their headline fully consistent with my take on what happened.

    If Somerby wanted a Republican headline, it might have been "Conservatives pleased as punch with half-assed clown show" because that's what happened too.

    And Somerby is upset about the supposedly liberal-pleasing headline, so that tells you where he is coming from. Next time he tries to talk about us liberals or we over here in Our Town, you can laugh in his face.

  5. They years take their tole. Bob once did try to appraise the veracity of evidence presented, logic, who is clearly stretching or ignoring the truth.
    now it all comes down to..... "I hate them."

  6. "In many ways, a lawyer is only as good as his or her client."

    How cute.

    Does it mean, then, dear Bob, that David Cicilline, the Rolls-Royce-driving impeachment manager, is "only as good" as Rhode Island drug dealers he used to defend?

    Enquiring minds want to know.

  7. Here, dear Bob, some real media criticism for you, from Matt Taibbi:

    https://taibbi.substack.com/p/the-bombhole-era-0cb

    ...although, we must say, his "both sides do it" schtick is tiresome.

    No, dear Bob and dear Matt, both sides don't do it. Fox News has its share of goebbelsian establishment dembots, while your liberal-zombie media orgs - your msnbc, your cnn, your wapo - don't have a single humyn being working for them. Oh well.

    My ex-boyfriend dumped me one week ago after I accused him of seeing someone else and insulting him. I want him back in my life but he refuse to have any contact with me. I was so confuse and don’t know what to do, so I reach to the Internet for help and I saw a testimony of how a spell caster help them to get their ex back so I contact the spell caster and explain my problem to him and he cast a spell for me and assure me of 2 days that my ex will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my ex came knocking on my door and beg for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married. Once again thank you Dr Believe. You are truly talented and gifted.He is the only answer. He can be of great help and I will not stop talking about him because he is a wonderful man.
