Hillary Clinton guest edits Teen Vogue Magazine, putting the magazine’s political leanings on display, among other foolish media takes on the latest episode of “Today In Media.”
Watch:
MSNBC’s Brian Williams claimed that Trump’s recent speech in South Korea is “clinical and graphic” and it “not the kind of thing that children want to hear.” The guest responded that Trump “likes this sort of graphic imagery.”
“I think overall that there is an obsession over the president’s language vis-a-vis North Korea,” host Saagar Enjeti commented.
Julia Nista weighed in, saying that Trump is conveying a message of “do not mess with us, we are not going to take this from North Korea.”
Another media gaffe today happened when CNN reported Jeff Flake’s claim that there is a loophole in gun laws that allowed for the Texas church shooter to kill 26 people and wound 20 others when in fact it was due to a human error in failing to report the shooter’s violent history to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
Other ridiculous takes include the media’s failure to give any coverage to Sen. Bob Menendez’ corruption trial, Lawrence O’Donnell’s romanticization of the Ralph Northam’s victory in the 2017 Virginia gubernatorial race, and Hillary Clinton’s guest editor appearance on Teen Vogue.
