      It is perpetually terrifying the extent to which TV news is in love with war.https://twitter.com/EricLevitz/status/1430611778581536772 …

      I wrote (again) about the "straight news" media's embrace of unabashed advocacy against the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Here's a capsule summary of my indictment of the past weeks' coverage: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/08/media-bias-biden-polls-approval-afghanistan-withdrawal.html … pic.twitter.com/raidcz5QOu

      People forget the degree to which CNN took off as a result of the first Iraq war. War is in the very DNA of cable news.

          As is the presumption of American victory, which also explains why this crisis is proving such a challenge.

          This is just the latest "OJ" story. Cable news is entertainment first, protection of corporate profits next, and rarely news.

          It’s all about the ratings mostly, which were cratering post Covid & election. They needed a new crisis because everyone turned off the news.

          Right. There’s a reason why my answer to the “what’s the first news event you actually remember” question is watching Desert Storm I’m CNN in my parents’ living room as a six year old.

          War, sports, disasters (natural/terrorists), and presidential debates are pretty much the only events you've got to watch live, and not tivo'ed.
