Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 20, 2018

Good luck calling the end of that segment fake news.

Their speciality it exporting that hell across the cable into our living rooms.

They’re probably going to discuss what happened to that Malaysian airliner a few years ago. ;)

Up next; a repeat of everything that was just said by a different panel.

Where’s the Fox News guy that shouts down anybody that gives an opposing view?

But we know why the fact-checking guy is missing.

The difficult words they use, is because they don’t understand either what’s happening. Nowadays, journalism is no longer an investigative journalism, but just parroting journalism. Whether news is fake depends on their source. So, while journalists should be a part of the solution, they are definitely not the cause. It’s like police in gang country, they should maintain law and order, but they prefer watching (and shooting) from a distance. People like the orange man are the questionable sources. He proved it a few days ago.

I always like exploding head guy. That used to be Lewis Black’s whole act.

The term cookie cutter comes to mind. 2 thorns among the roses? It’s anyone guess which is which.

The McLaughlin Report was always good for this. Then he would bellow – WRONG!

God bless a good remote with the MUTE button right in the center of the tool!!

Can’t be Fox News. The women aren’t dressed like porn stars.

Looks almost like a cabinet meeting

What, no Fox/Trump comments yet?

Reminds me of a weekly staff meeting I had attend years ago.

It’s MSNBC in all its glory.

Just remember, the media stations get paid by having high ratings. Stayed tuned, when we come back, find out if we will have snow in Miami in August! None of them make money reporting the truth.

You forgot obscure person who served in a meaningless government job as the situational analyst.

Come back Walter Cronkite, PLEASE!! You too, Edward R. Murrow. Huntley and Brinkley, where are you now that we NEED you??

The real punishment is reserved for those condemned to watch this stuff, 24/7, for eternity, – without commercial breaks !

This show is the four.

and a panel head who thinks they’re smarter than anyone else and is rude about it.

I always thought Fox News hired one liberal screaming idiot for each panel.

Don’t leave the local anchors out of this. They are just as bad in their way.

Panelists are not journalists. They are paid for their opinions about the news. I don’t see how people can say that someone’s opinion is news. All of us have opinions. The only difference is that we don’t get paid to espouse our opinions, and they do get paid. The louder they are, the more money they get.

People need to pay more attention to what is done than to what is said. And even more attention to what isn’t done.

I can’t even remember the last time I turned on a cable news channel.

I’ve heard “blithering spokesmodel” referred to as “spokesbimbo”. I wonder if they have to go to some special school to learn to keep their legs crossed just so on camera, always with that little hint that there may be a Sharon Stone moment in the offing.

Talking points + talking heads = talking pointy heads.

I suppose that even a specialist in exaggeration, parody, and satire sometimes wants simply to take a matter-of-fact snapshot of the current environment………

I’m a bit disappointed that Wiley didn’t properly depict the desk as some huge plastic thing from Star Trek. He might have also done a Wiley floor trap door. For this modern media, I still faithfully sample all offerings, to at least know what my fellow citizens are soaking up. But I run out of patience when the host announces an “exclusive” bit coming right up – and then does so three more times over another twenty minutes. For a quick immediate look at all but local breaking news, the internet rules, now includes the same video, and has functional ad-blocking. And Wiley!

Hey, I think I have heard about that show…Its on Faux News isn’t it?

Best cartoon of the day!

The exact reason I don’t watch cable news – talking heads.

They are discussions but too many of your act like the Reich Wing Libertarians in what they say about corporate news and govt in general.

Anyone remember Max Headroom?

And without his being in any way political about it, Wiley has (once again) jabbed a large portion of the Great American Unwashed in the butt with a very pointy stick. I often wonder, when I happen to glimpse one of the ‘talking heads’ these days, how many of them really might be animations. We do have the technology now … and it sure would be a lot cheaper for the media companies …
