Former President Donald Trump spent nearly an hour at his Palm Beach, Florida, social club on Thursday ranting to a room full of reporters as he tries to grab the spotlight from a resurgent Democratic ticket fronted by Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

I liked this piece by Lawrence O’Donnell calling out the corporate media for being too stupid and doing 2016 all over again. Why does the media bother with this dumbass?

Omg that was such a good watch. Thanks for sharing.

He makes good points. I think his error is calling the people at the "press" conference journalist. They are not. They are content creators.

Their job isn't to get to the truth, it's to drive clicks and comments. It's to enrich them and their employer.

There are good journalist still out there but since they don't play to the almighty ALGORITHM they get drowned out.
