THE TODAY SHOW PROPAGANDISTS AT WORK

Ken Berwitz


Very little time to blog until mid afternoon.

But I have to take a moment to note that, on the Today Show, I just heard from Savannah Guthrie that John Lewis is “not just a Black Icon but an American icon”, and from Peter Alexander that Marco Rubio “cracked under pressure” during the last debate

For the record:

-I have lived in a mostly Democrat/liberal neighborhood for decades. And I have had more conversations, political and otherwise, with Black people than I can count.  Not once do I remember John Lewis\’s name ever being mentioned in any context.  Not good, not bad.  Mr. Lewis was at one time, long ago, a well known civil rights leader.  Now, other than among long time civil rights activists and older leftists, he is an anonymous congressperson.  John Lewis is about as much of an American icon as that Waldo guy no one can find.

-Marco Rubio did not “crack under pressure”, he kept answering the same question with the same expression, instead of changing a couple of words each time (which, from a political point of view, he should have done).  Giving the same answer to the same question is not “cracking under pressure”, it is being consistent.

Are Savannah Guthrie and Peter Alexander journalists?  Or are they propagandists?  You tell me.
