AP Reporter Jonathan Lemire: "A Lot Of Our Hot Takes Are Wrong"
RCP Video ^ | 7-24-2019 | Ian Schwartz

Associated Press White House correspondent and MSNBC political analyst Jonathan Lemire weighed in on former special counsel Robert Mueller's performance at two Congressional hearings Wednesday. Lemire said, "hot takes" by the media are often wrong and that Democrats, in particular, listen to them.

(snip)

In terms of what happens next, certainly, yes, a lot of our hot takes are wrong but you know who else hears those hot takes? They are lawmakers and Democrats in particular. And I think there are a lot of Democrats -- we kept hearing over and over the whole, like, they didn't read the book but maybe they will watch the movie. Well, the movie ended up not being that compelling.

I think you're hearing a lot from the Democrats who were fairly or not disappointed with what they heard from the special counsel. Where does this move the ball now on impeachment? Does it go anywhere? I think if you're a Democrat who is looking for today to be a moment where you saw that crystalized, I think Democrats are probably disappointed.

Now media flubs and outright lies are called "Hot Takes".... smh. Well, keep it up, the 'fake news' moniker is well earned.

If you flip a coin over large number of events, average will even out to be 50-50. Media "Hot Takes" only go one way, what is the probability of that? (Never mind, rhetorical question.)

Well, gee, I guess that means I can continue to not bother wasting my money on newspapers or magazines or spending more than five seconds watching CNN or any of the other alphabet newscasts.

This is as close as you’ll get to an admission of failure from the Ministry of Propaganda.

Hot Cakes...Yes! (lots of syrup and butter...not any kind of syrup though...the kind that you get in Vermont that comes in clear bottles so you can tell the different colors of the different types...I’m starving!)
