      Michael Tracey Retweeted Chuck Todd

      Chuck Todd was a working adult journalist during the Iraq War. To *still* have zero awareness of the media’s role in “causing” that fiasco is a mark of true delusionhttps://twitter.com/chucktodd/status/1026081978842603522 …

      Michael Tracey added,

      This is outrageous. I’m sorry, I don’t know what else to say to someone accusing me and my colleagues of causing war. I know he’s baiting us to respond. I’m taking the bait in hopes that rational folks realize this is wrong and dangerous. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1026069857589227520 …

      TV stars like Chuck Todd see themselves as card-carrying members of “The Media” -- i.e., a professional class with interests to protect. That’s why they become self-righteous and defensive when "The Media" as an entity is maligned

      You can still practice journalism without regarding yourself as a member of this professional class. In fact, maintaining that detachment usually produces better journalism (and analysis)

          The corporate media is not interested in journalism, just marketing products.

          Agree about "The Media" class but do you believe (as I do) that Trump demonizes/delegitimizes journalists so his devoted supporters disregard unfavorable reporting of him? This strategy makes Trump immune to criticism; negative stories are #fakenews from "the enemy of the people"

          Yeah, but he reduced the dimensionality of the accusation from the broad, semi-cohesive media to him and his colleagues. That is real-time rewriting of the accusation, making it about him, and burning of strawmen.

          You're certainly NOT an example of "maintaining detachment usually produces better journalism (and analysis)". And neither is Greenwald. You're both envious bores who wish that you had the platform and ratings of MSNBC favorites, like @maddow & @chrislhayes
