2016 Postmortem

but overall, it was not a good treatment for Mitt on CBS news, with old man Schieffer coming down particularly hard. They showed two segments - with the 47% pay no tax part coming second, with a few fluff comments in between. It was amusing to watch the clip of Gramps McCain coming to the aid of Mittens!

(19,458 posts)Ugh. If someone looks at both comments IN context, you can see that the President was being inclusive. He was saying that those folks got screwed over years ago, and it's made them suspicious and cynical, and that they have to reach out to them. Much like the went apeshit over Howard Dean's comments about the pick up trucks with confederate flags on them.
CBS has hired a notorious right winger to try and beat Fox at their game, the way CNN did a few years ago when they reached out to the fucking GOP to ask them how they could be more friendly to them.
