THANK YOU CHRIS HAYES for having Michael Daly on yesterday to talk about the Rudy Giuliani that the electronic and more up-market press covered up for all during his public career.
It is a real shame of the most highly self-regarding of small locations in the United States, New York City, that they elected this asshole Mayor twice, on the basis of what his media operation suckered The People of that city with. I love the claim that Rudy owes his life to parole because he was conceived when his criminal daddy was on parole, I would bet that this real reporter did his math.
The exposure of this is also the exposure of the corrupt status of the American media, the "press" that the First Amendment gives the corporate privilege miscalled a "right". There's nothing that exposes the generally shameful way that the media uses that "right" to promote lies and sensationalism because it makes them money (remember what Les Moonves said about Trump, "It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS." Trump was a result of the American free-press, just as Reagan was, just as Republican-fascism is. I wish the likes of Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, Bill Moyers, would admit the role that the current interpretation of the First Amendment has played in the plunge of America into gangster governance. The story used to credit TV coverage of the Civil Rights Movement with moving the country past Jim Crow - as if the largely Black Civil Rights Movement didn't do all of the heavy and deadly struggle in that - but the media more than took back what it never really gave to start with starting as soon as the Supreme Court allowed them to lie with impunity about Democratic politicians, liberals and entire races and other groups.
