I don’t think it would be Janet Mills, too old and too old-school. Shanna Bellows…. now that might have legs. Didn’t she try to get Trump’s name stripped off the ballot, only to be stopped by the USSC? And she’s done some other mischief as well, stretching her authority-of-office past its limits. She’s not DSA either, I don’t think. Might be just what the DNC is looking for….

Re: Legacy Media

Spielberg’s “Disclosure Day” film hinges, from what I’ve read, on the heroes, who’ve got the proof of aliens, being chased while they attempt to get their materials to the legacy media.

They couldn’t just dump their proof on the internet. No, only the legacy media would have the credibility to break the story! [Failed buzzer sound.]

Well, Spielberg is 80 years-old. “Disclosure Day” needs $300 million to break even, but five weeks later has only made $220 mil, so DD will lose money. Maybe it’s time Spielberg hung up his spurs.

I was listening to the Ruthless podcast, and they said they have inside info that the thing that got him to quit was that the Democrats threatened to prosecute his wife for some sort of welfare fraud.

Don’t know whether that’s true, but they usually know what they’re talking about.

While it was the dem establishment which removed him, in a fashion, he had his supporters as demonstrated by voters, at least. Like to know how, or whether, they peeled off him in layers as one item after another camo to light. And what they felt. And those who still think he’s the best. Like to know what they think. I can imagine, but that’s not the same.

@TommyJay:Now it feels like journalists think that the LIVs (low information voters) are such boobs

LIVs tuned them out long ago for cat videos and they know that. They’re talking to the engaged and online Left, sending out new software patches to correct their thinking. Some of those people might be influencers who reach some LIVs. 90% of this country says “Platner who? Which state is Maine again?”

They no longer do reporting. They just relay memos from the Inner Party to the Outer Party about what to think. — Niketas

Definitely. Well put. I’ve thought this for a long time, except I believe there used to be some significant effort made to hide or camouflage it. Now it feels like journalists think that the LIVs (low information voters) are such boobs, why bother with the extra concealment effort.

Actually, now that I’ve been meeting lots of new people, I think that many don’t even care that journalism has become a “team effort” and that they are consuming from only one source.
