I’d never heard of Pomerantsev while working there; he claims (and I’m sure it’s true) that he spent a few years working for the quasi-western TNT network, where one of my own best friends worked as a top producer for several years. I asked recently him if he or his TNT contacts remembered Pomerantsev there because I'd never heard of him in my years in Moscow; he hadn't either. I don’t doubt he was there; but there is a vague, foggy, masked quality to his writing and to his approach to most things, including his intimate vignettes in his book: people without last names or recognizable faces, characters whose canned descriptions seem lifted from writers’ workshop classes rather than from experience.

You can't be arsed taking on board critiques of the guy you love so don't lecture anyone else about their bias.
Good to know what your critical eye is looking for in the world. .
Trump had gotten nearly $3 billion in ‘free’ advertising...

Can you back that up with ad rates for the various broadcast networks?
How about print?
Digital? Would that be digital preroll or just banner ads? Maybe some native or search?
Would really be curious where the $3 billion figure came from? Perhaps thin air?
All that complaining about anybody getting near your vagina? Seriously? Yikes.
Yet ANOTHER thread on RI turned into a lame ass echo chamber of bullshit and tripe about Trump and Russia. Thread jacking is the most consistent sport going on here at RI.

According to data analytics firm mediaQuant, Trump garnered about $5 billion worth of free media coverage during the election campaign, more than twice the amount earned by Clinton, a lifelong politician who served as secretary of state, senator, and first lady at different times in her career.

No worries. I'd say Trump getting $5 billion worth of free media coverage during the election campaign is very pertinent to the OP. Before the election it was basically Trump TV on all channels, which wore down and deflated half of America and over-inflated and emboldened the other half. Now that he is elected it is TNN 24 hours a day. Even his critical channels are basically working for him around the clock, contributing to the complete media saturation of Trump relentlessly. Whether it is a legal or civil dictatorship it definitely is a psychic dictatorship now. Which has parallels with the New Operating Manual for Spaceship America alluded to. Whether you hate or love him, you will never get the chance to be free of him now.

So funny you're bringing up TD. You loathed TD season 2 without watching and here you are yesterday, berating me for not reading the source material and whining with prissy self importance to defend some neocon/oligarch shill.
Ah, brekin. You're entertaining so I can forgive your patronising air of superiority

Taste in entertainment is a very relative thing; I often suspect political opinions are just as ephemeral.
Either which way, though: stop with the drive by personal bickering. No reply is often better than a one-line reply, especially if you're using emotiglyphics. I'm addressing you because you can modify your behavior. Brekin and SLAD ain't gonna change this lifetime.

81:1.
Does that ratio seem out of whack? That's the ratio of TV airtime that ABC World News Tonight has devoted to Donald Trump's campaign (81 minutes) versus the amount of TV time World News Tonight has devoted to Bernie Sanders' campaign this year. And even that one minute for Sanders is misleading because the actual number is closer to 20 seconds.
For the entire year.
(snip)
So in terms of stand-alone campaign stories this year, it's been 234 minutes for Trump, compared to 10 minutes for Sanders. And at ABC World News Tonight, it's been 81 minutes for Trump and less than one minute for Sanders.
Other Tyndall Report findings:
*Trump has received more network coverage than all the Democratic candidates combined.
*Trump has accounted for 27 percent of all campaign coverage his year.
*Republican Jeb Bush received 56 minutes of coverage, followed by Ben Carson's 54 minutes and Marco Rubio's 22.
Did you notice the Bush figure? He's garnered 56 minutes of network news coverage, far outpacing Sanders, even though he is currently wallowing in fifth place in the polls among Republicans. And you know who has also received 56 minutes of network news compared to Sanders' 10? Joe Biden and his decision not to run for president.
