| | rantnrave:// I enjoy good news programming on television. In doses that my head and heart can take. The topic doesn't much matter. The story does. But the most important thing is the interviewer. The journalist. Now more than ever. Especially with the powerful and elite. The relationship between journalists and power is supposed to be adversarial. I don't mean that in a pejorative way. An interview isn't a series of questions written down waiting for one to get through them. Answers beget follow-ups, new directions in the conversation. But I'm worried some of those tasked with these big interviews get run-over, or don't do their homework, or don't know how to stop a steamrolling subject. That journalist is our advocate. It is the backbone of the fourth estate. And some of the subjects are bombastic. Some bullies. Some very dangerous to the fabric of our morality and ethics as a country. ABC NEWS Chief White House Correspondent JONATHAN KARL is very good. But STEVE BANNON ran over him on THIS WEEK like MARSHAWN LYNCH used to run over a defense. He talked over him. He spoke louder. He kept hitting him and insulting everyone along the way. With every dog whistle keyword, you can imagine. He kept hitting. TRUMP does this too but doesn't have the intelligence of BANNON. In a recent 60 MINUTES SPORTS interview on SHOWTIME, LYNCH described how he became one of the greatest running back ever: "If you just run through somebody's face. A lot of people ain't gonna be able to take that over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. They just not gonna want that... Run through a motherf***** face then you don't need to worry about them no more." That's what people like BANNON do and thus your defense and offense needs to change. Whereas, GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS didn't let RUDY GIULIANI run through his face. Karl will be back stronger I'm sure... Virtual kidnapping is a thing and recently a friend was targeted. He didn't fall for it... If we keep turning our back to innocent victims, we will one day be the victim... BILLIONS season 3 is done. WTF am I supposed to do now? May have the scene of the year. The marriage speech CHUCK RHOADES, SR., played by JEFFREY DEMUNN, delivered. Just genius... People I want to meet: DAVID CHANG, BEN MACINTYRE, ALEC BALDWIN, MICHAEL RAPINO, NATALIE PORTMAN, DAVID CHOE, SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS, LIZ PLANK, MICHAEL HAYDEN and DAN RATHER... Happy Birthday to JAY GALLUZZO, SCOTT VENER, DAN YORK, and BRIAN TERKELSEN. | | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| The first thing to understand about the decision by a federal judge to approve AT&T's acquisition of Time Warner, over the objection of the U.S. Department of Justice, is that it is very much in-line with the status quo: this is a vertical merger, and both the Department of Justice and the courts have defaulted towards approving such mergers for decades. | | |
