Media Extra: Rolling Stone Tells Us How It Is.

     Rolling Stone's Matt Taibbi blames TV for Donald Trump. And says Americans---including his column's readers and even Trump himself  I presume--- are too stupid to see through the charade:

"Lots of people have remarked on the irony of this absurd caricature of a spoiled rich kid connecting so well with working-class America. But Trump does have something very much in common with everybody else. He watches TV. That's his primary experience with reality, and just like most of his voters, he doesn't realize that it's a distorted picture.
If you got all of your information from TV and movies, you'd have some pretty dumb ideas. You'd be convinced blowing stuff up works, because it always does in our movies. You'd have no empathy for the poor, because there are no poor people in American movies or TV shows – they're rarely even shown on the news, because advertisers consider them a bummer."

     I'm guessing Taibbi doesn't really know very much about TV, but doesn't let that get in the way of writing in great big simplistic broad strokes so his "readers" will understand: Trump BAD, TV BAD. BAD BAD BAD!
     I'd love to see a list of the TV shows he does watch. Especially the news programs, the ones with no poor people.
     Oh, and Matt...where are the poor people in Rolling Stone? Or does a two page spread about a Farm-Aid concert count?
