The Best Definition of Donald Trump We Have Found
In his zeal to prove to his antagonists in the War Party that he is as bloodthirsty as their champion, Hillary Clinton, and more manly than Barack Obama, Trump seems to have gone “play-crazy” -- acting like an unpredictable maniac in order to terrorize the Russians into forcing some kind of dramatic concessions from their Syrian allies, or risk Armageddon.However, the “play-crazy” gambit can only work when the leader is, in real life, a disciplined and intelligent actor, who knows precisely what actual boundaries must not be crossed. That ain’t Donald Trump -- a pitifully shallow and ill-disciplined man, emotionally handicapped by obscene privilege and cognitively crippled by white American chauvinism. By pushing Trump into a corner and demanding that he display his most bellicose self, or be ceaselessly mocked as a “puppet” and minion of Russia, a lesser power, the War Party and its media and clandestine services have created a perfect storm of mayhem that may consume us all.— Glen Ford, Editor in Chief, Black Agenda Report

Ed Schultz ‘vanished from the airwaves’??? He’s got a great show on RT, allowed to say things (truths) that are never allowed in the American corporate media – as do all of the RT hosts. Far, far superior to the corporate propaganda media of the US.
Re the “vanishing of Ed Schultz et al”— I think Caitlin is talking in the broader terms: Vanishing from the mainstream airwaves. RT is wonderful, but it reaches only a fraction of even MSNBC, which itself, reaches only a fraction of the Big Media, like CBS, ABC, BBC, etc.
