POWERLINE: WILL THE MEDIA EVER PAY A PRICE?

“Two large media meta-narratives prompt the title question here. First, Michael Avenatti. Finished laughing? Okay, good; to continue: Avenatti was entirely the creation of the media, right down to the idea, which CNN and MSNBC took seriously, that he could be a presidential candidate in 2020. It is emerging now that the media knew first hand that Avenatti is a first class jerk, from the outrageous and rude way he treated the low- and mid-level media people (producers, etc) he dealt with in his nonstop media campaign. But because he was saying what the media wanted to hear (Trump is a horrible human being), the media were willing overlook all of the slime this reptile was leaving in media green rooms and on TV sets. (No one thought to ask after an Avenatti visit, “Why is our green room looking especially slime green today??”) So now it emerges that Avenatti tried to blackmail Nike, and stole Stormy Daniels’s book advance, among other things. Heck, they way things are going for Trump, I expect that Daniels will come out in favor of Trump’s re-election before we’re done. At least she got to keep Trump’s payoff money.”
