Deutsch: For The Media, 'Positivity' Is The New In Thing

Hmm, I wonder what's changed?

Former ad man turned pundit Donny Deutsch has proclaimed that "positivity" is the new in thing for the media—"the new black" as he puts it.

Deutsch appeared with Tom Brokaw on today's Morning Joe. The former NBC anchor was touting his new USA Network series, "American Character Along Highway 50," featuring encounters with "real Americans" he enounters on the road.

That set Deutsch off on his paean to positivity.

If Republicans take back the White House “new negativity” will be the new black.

Deutsch is a creep. But, he’s cleverly positioned himself to be a wealthy creep. Apparently he’s been retained by GM to assist in GM’s “re-branding” efforts.
Deutsch has no clue what average people want, but he does know the limosine liberal mantra, “For thee, but not for me”.
Deutsch is pushing positivity because it’s part of his job. He’s pushing small fuel efficient crapbox cars, because that’s what the little people should want.

And he’s laughing all the way to the bank.

Yep...creep is correct. I guess they have him on because they don't have enough libs on that show. /sarc

I watch Monrning Joe every day and they just WILL NOT bring any real conservatives on that show; Pat Buchanan, Joe, and Peggy Noonan are the best they can do, which is not all that good. The lone exception lately has been Liz Cheney and she cleaned up...and, I must admit, Mika has become much more moderate in tone and keeps the doctrinaire libs honest at times.

Its like Chris Matthews said to Ellen Degeneres on the moringing after the election 'I think Americans are tired of mean. No more mean.'

Matthews & the MSM can shove it.

If they really want to try something new how about reporting the facts without spin?

Donny “Douche” is a POS-tively annoying liberal.
