printIt’s not quite an apology for being part of the “the circle jerk of power brokers that is American journalism,” but it’s as close to expiation as one can expect from a professional ditz like Ana Marie Cox, aka “Wonkette Emerita”:
… The richness of our language about Trump as a man exposes the poverty of our analysis of him as a phenomenon. His refusal to go away exposes the superfluousness of our predictions. The churn of “Trump takes” is a real-time erosion of confidence in our ability to provide the only real service punditry provides: to make sense of what’s happening. His survival has shown how ephemeral narratives can be, and how permanent biases are. Our failure to adequately explain Trump, to tame him, reveals machinations and mistakes that usually go unnoticed. The Trump candidacy is the media’s ongoing hot mic moment. What we talk about when we talk about Trump is ourselves.
More verbal diarrhea (I think I’ve captured the gist of the litany).
IS this media strumpet apologizing to Trump supporters?
