Mainstream Media is angry bc the DNC gave so much of "their" space to younger influencers like her.

I like it very much. ♥️

@TomSchmidt @markmetz @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews

Todd Llamas had two on a panel and he was rude as hell to both of them, calling them names - they handled it well.

@jenzi @TomSchmidt @markmetz @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews MSM is just not getting it. Harris doesn’t *need* them anymore to get her message out. She can bypass their filter and go straight to the people.

MSM isn’t buggy whip irrelevant (yet), but they’re not learning well that this is a new type of campaign that just happens to have an outstanding comms team.

Sure, Harris can, and most likely should, engage with the MSM. But on her terms, not theirs. And they aren’t liking the fact that their self-perceived role as king (queen) makers doesn’t apply anymore.

I’m a boomer and I can see this, can’t understand how they don’t.

@cavalierbob @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews when I worked at a daily in 1994, I tried (in vain) to explain to men “who buy ink by the barrel” that ink is irrelevant in a medium that creates itself from the ether. Newspapers calcified, were hobbled by Craigslist (revenue stream lopped off), and in a broader sense traditional broadcast hasn’t been able to grok their true value construct.

@Blanco @jenzi @TomSchmidt @markmetz @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews Main Stream Media.

Major US TV channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, Cable news outlets), major US newspapers.

Sorry for that, I should have spelled it out the first time.

@cavalierbob @jenzi @TomSchmidt @markmetz @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews Thanks. So much short notation that I can't keep up. Usually, people say just the media. Though, now, we are all the media. Anyone can say anything and voila, a new world class revelation. LOL, but with sadness.

@cavalierbob @jenzi @TomSchmidt @markmetz @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews and we see why a turd trashed money on the bird site, and people in power want to kill off (or grab possession) of tiktok

@cavalierbob @jenzi @TomSchmidt @markmetz @kamalaharrisforpresidentnews “I’m a boomer and I can see this, can’t understand how they don’t.”

just keep coming back to Upton Sinclair:
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”
