America’s propaganda media have spent an awful lot of time and resources probing President Trump’s renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. From on-the-ground segments with ABC hack Jonathan Karl to exposés on the pool’s duck users, the coverage of this non-story has been — to put it mildly — breathtakingly stupid.
As with any information cycle, corporate media’s decision about what is considered “newsworthy” isn’t based on whether or not it actually is. It’s based on whether it can be manipulated and used to attack Republicans and advance Democrat Party interests.
