Ignoring events in the room: We remain grateful to Nicolle Wallace for her recent podcast with Rosie O'Donnell.
We're still seeking a way to discuss what we saw and heard in that podcast. As we've noted, we had three brief interactions with Rosie at three different stages of her career. After watching that podcast, we regard that as a point of pride—and we're saddened by the pathetic use the boys and girls of Silo Red chose of make of one deeply insightful discussion found on that remarkable podcast.
Over here in Blue America, we turned to Deadline: White House yesterday afternoon, right at 4 o'clock sharp. We wondered what Wallace would be saying about the major news event of the day.
We discovered that, at four o'clock, she didn't seem to be discussing the major event of the day. As best we can tell from On Demand, she devoted two short segments, during the course of her two-hour show, to what was happening yesterday in Isreal and Gaza. Those segments ate fifteen minutes on the clock, from roughly 4:35 to roughly 4:50, with one commercial break.
There's a great deal which remains to be said about the shape of the president's "peace deal," and about the interests of all parties, including the people of Gaza, as the current situation moves forward. Yesterday, it seemed to us that we were seeing the same old approach from Wallace at Silo Blue:
She'll mainly talk about whatever it is that we Blues most want to hear. If citizens are wondering about some other topic, that will be too darn bad.
At Silo Red, Red American viewers are fed the porridge the bosses assume they will like. We think that was a losing approach for Silo Blue over the past few years, as our tribunes avoided major topics in pursuit of the impossible dream of sending Donald J. Trump to jail.
We're grateful to Wallace for that podcast with Rosie O'Donnell. Also, we think it's time for Silo Blue to throw its bowls of porridge away and deepen its approach.
We think it's time for Silo Blue to fill their bowls of porridge with bricks, and throw them a Right-wingers.
ReplyDeleteNah.
DeleteWe need more kids raised by Republicans to shoot Right-wingers in the neck.
When will this nonsense stop?
ReplyDeleteThis question covers a lot of ground.
Delete"She'll mainly talk about whatever it is that we Blues most want to hear. "
ReplyDeleteWhat on earth is wrong with doing this? It seems to be in her job description, even at her own podcast. If I went to the movies and they weren't showing anything I wanted to watch, I wouldn't go back. What is the point of displeasing customers?
"At Silo Red, Red American viewers are fed the porridge the bosses assume they will like. "
DeleteI think this is incorrect. On Fox, the programming consists of disinformation that conservatives want their viewers to think and repeat to others, propaganda, not viewer-pleasing programming. Fox has political goals layered onto its entertainment at all times. That left does not serve political masters but commercial ones.
