After watching the Carter funeral where his many visionary acts as President were highlighted for an hour, the follow up completely ignore what was said and fell right back into extolling his post presidency. There is a script we are following that has nothing to do with truth.

What is perceived as a script is often predictable narcissistic behavior we can counter.

Self protection, is that it? Never risking anything really is narcissism? It is a fear based disorder from what I can see w personal experience.

It's a spectrum of disorders so there are varied causes, effects & triggers.

Sam you talked about reading between the lines. The Washington Post didnt publish Ann Telneas cartoon critical of Bezos and Trump. Which lead to Ann Telneas resigning. The WP editors excuse for not publishing appeared to be gaslighting the obvious real reason which is offending Trump. Reading between the lines since the WP editor cancelled the endorsement of Kamala Harris and many people previously resigned (and I am sorry if this is stating the obvious) this means that many cartoons and stories that were not Trump or billionaire favorable are being suppressed at the WP. This is not an isolated incident for the WP but business as usual.

I saw that Bill. Indeed The Washington Post would be included in "the conversion and near complete capture of American legacy, corporate, mainstream and major digital media by seemingly 100% self-serving people, thus anti-democratic forces."

GREAT article, Sam. And this interview with Eric Adelstein is right up your alley. Excerpt: "Lewis Powell wrote a memo in 1971 that said basically, 'Capitalism free enterprise was under assault. And if we didn't as conservatives, business people, corporations didn't fight back, they would be subsumed.' Well, they fought back, Michael, and it has been one of the most successful and underreported fights over the last 50 years. They have created a conservative media ecosystem."
