Hillary Again Says
Putin 'Kills Journalists' - Charlie Rose Doesn't Blink RI
So here his Hillary on
his show Monday night with her truly delusional ideas about why she lost the
election.
You don't need to call him names.
Charlie Rose has always been a mediocre
interviewer/journalist. He could only pass for deep in America.
His interviews, many years ago when I last heard him, always
left you feeling as though you had heard a lot of inflated nothing, much like
the feeling you get from eating a McDonald’s hamburger.
He spent years on PBS, and for anyone who really knows that
insipid network, that pretty much says it all.
You cannot be a hard-hitting journalist on any American
television network, much less PBS which is always just getting by fighting
political battles in Washington over its very existence. Controversy simply is
not allowed, unless its the kind of manufactured fantasy-controversy you get
from a Hillary Clinton or a Donald Trump.
That Hillary still goes about speaking the way she does is
pathetic. Here is a major American political figure with nothing to say except
attacking a foreign leader and blaming every official in her own party and the
last president’s government for her election loss. She is as devoid of real
content as the McDonald’s hamburger.
In case you hadn't noticed, there is an underlying theme in
this shabby interview, a theme which literally is symbolic of contemporary
America.
Nothing that really matters is ever discussed, from terrible
domestic problems of poverty and racism to the horrible colonial wars which
have killed and crippled millions and to the overwhelming role of big money in
national politics which literally reduces the country to a plutocracy.
No, a national issue in today’s United States is whether
football players are being Patriotic enough when they peacefully protest, their
gesture being so mild and insignificant you’d miss it if you blinked.
America simply cannot tolerate real talk or criticism of any
kind, and It lives in an intellectually-mushy environment of fantasy-problems
and political correctness, except when the topic comes around to foreigners,
whether foreign leaders who do not take their lead from America or migrants of
any kind, all of them being pretty much regarded as horrible and undesirable.
This is an unhealthy national intellectual environment, to
say the least. It perhaps reflects all the doubts and uncertainties Americans
feel as they sense the coming of a new world, one which before too long will
not regard America’s view as quite so important as it has been since WWII. That
is a hard thing for any highly privileged and fortunate group to accept, their
coming loss of privilege with a threatening set of changed circumstances
clearly approaching.
