I ♥ Chicago!
Chicago Tribune Editorial. A principled option for U.S. president: Endorsing Gary Johnson, Libertarian.
Это совсем не баран чихнул, настоящая газета.
Нельзя ли договориться, чтобы мистер Трамп и миссис Клинтон теперь всегда баллотировались и дальше, на каждых выборах?

Он что-такое вроде и устроил в пареллели с основным дебатом.
Но, подозреваю, Трамповские ужимки и прыжки просто гораздо интереснее смотреть.
Про РТ не знал. Хм..

Нет сомнений, что больше народа будут смотреть основной дебат, это развлекательнее. Я говорю о том, что при этом есть основания ожидать вполне приемлемой аудитории для Дж-С дебатов: не рекордной, но приемлемой для трансляции. А это подогрело бы интерес публики к ним обоим.
РТ - ни один мейнстримный канал не счел это мероприятие заслуживающим внимания. Каким-то образом!?

Perhaps in 2012 there was still some sense that RT was not purely a Putin's propaganda channel, so I will give him a pass on that.

some-one like Trump, who is not even supported by his own party
But that's NOT his party! That's a very natural and common misunderstanding. Rather, Trump is a third-party (Reform) candidate who took over a Republican ballot line; that's it.
RT/Putin: What difference would editorial policy of a channel as a whole make, if the program is unedited? For people locked out of MSM, any viewership is an opportunity, they can't by picky, Putin or whatever. Same with Assange/Snowden.

He was nominated by the republican party and beat several mainstream republicans. That's a fact. Anything else is just wordplay. Perhaps the Republican party will split into two in the future, who knows.
TV: My view is that RT is too tainted by outright falsehoods and propaganda to be a forum for any principled discussion.

RT: You're saying that because it is known/assumed that RT has propaganda and lies elsewhere, it should not have lies/prop-free or at least lies/prop-light forum either. Why? To the contrary, it is because it lacks non-biased content, what makes it propagandist. Conversely, if we start with the level of program, and not channel, then of course introducing less lying program improves quality of a channel.
Or, in another example, I recently wrote (http://nedosionist.livejournal.com/51385.html)about propaganda in NYT. I'm still reading it, perhaps with greater awareness.
Party: We've started (http://birdwatcher.livejournal.com/2761007.html?thread=16074543#t16074543)here with your comment: Trump, who is not even supported by his own party, does not push people to look at alternatives. This is again inverse causation: It is because he is already an alternative, that republican party doesn't support him. This is evidence, not contradiction.
no subject
Party: I am not sure what we are arguing about here. Clearly Trump is not a mainstream republican as his views are different from those of republican leadership and those typical of GOP in recent years. On the other hand, he is clearly a republican as he is a member of the party and has been nominated (competitively) by the GOP.
