“Most dangerous thing that ever happened in the world is in the process of happening.” Media #FAIL

And as this most dangerous thing that has ever happened to the world is in the process of happening, what’s the media doing to inform people about it? False equivalency; under-reporting; mis-reporting; focus on far less important issues, triviality, drivel, etc. In sum, the corporate media is almost (with a few rare exceptions) completely failing to do its job as the world burns. As one of those corporate media folks, Chris Cillizza, likes to say, “congratulations…or something.”
