Greenwald: CNN gets red-pilled - sort of

@ggreenwald

Fascinating thread where CNN stars slowly admit that their rhetorical posture - everyone who dissents in any way from our decrees is racist and/or stupid - is alienating and ugly, but they didn't realize this because they live in an "echo chamber" of like-minded liberals:

[SEE CLIP]

This is a major plague in modern journalism. The don't hear dissent. When is the last time Anderson Cooper or Chris Hayes or a NYT op-ed writer dialogued with someone saying they're full of shit? They only talk to and for each other and thus think everyone loves them & agrees.

But even with that painful acknowledgement on CNN - our insistence on smearing anyone who sees the world differently than we do as racist, fascist and/or stupid makes people hate us - they can't stop doing it. They're doing it this morning. It's all they know how to do now.

This is a great @matthewstoller

thread on why the Dem Party cannot "reform" to re-connect with anyone other than their core base of elites and minorities (and even there they're losing ground). They're structured to serve the elite managerial class:

And here, just by the way, is a hilarious Camille Paglia passage from 2008 on why, even given her generalized hatred for Dem operatives, Terry McAuliffe has always been singularly repulsive. Keep telling people only racism could explain rejecting him:
