Ittu is stunning. and look, if people want to say we disagree with clarence thomase, we don t like his decision, that s fine. but rather than just disagreeing with him and stating their differenceses it s as emily said, said uncle clarence, sell out bad black person acting white. whenhese awful things people disagree with white shirt, white jurists don t sayh you re a bad white person. they ll say you re wrong, you re mistaken. they might use ugly, ugly comments of other sorts, but don t try to deny the the whiteness of justice cavnar the whiteness of justice roberts. but in the case of clarence thomasjust, if he if he differs with the left, he s no longer black man. and you. only see people on the left doing that . you don t see people on the right engage in that outright bigotry, which is what is becoming these days the exclusive province of . e leftft yeah, the attacks continue. and it s sad because i think we have a whole generation of people that are growing up that lack respect a
And he thanks him, but also mentally it s still a problem and it s partially his fault as well. howard: you know, maybe the distrust of the vaccines by some is so deeply embedded that even donald trump can convince people todesh who otherwise support him to get the shot, but i think it s a good thing that the media plays this up. now, in his speech, emily, biden said it s affected by dangerous misinformation on cable tv and social media. okay, but here msnbc joey read went way further than that. let s take a look. the most vaccinated company in america is a fox news. they are all vaccinated. they will live through this and let their viewers and fans and die. they don t give a damn. it s just clicks it to them. they don t care what happens. howard: joy read it says fox news wants you to die.
Are divided as usual. i think the next two to eight weeks will be as i have said before a global blizzard and this virus. this pandemic movie is about over. a lot of us will have omicron. we will be fine. howard: joining us now to analyze the coverage in milwaukee emily, cultural editor of the federalist and in new york polyp larry, co-author of politicals playbook. the press is usually sympathetic to president biden. why is there such strong pushback, his argument that two years into the pandemic no one could possibly have known a highbred virus variant was coming and stockpiled a bunch of tests. it s an interesting case study in one of the best patterns in terms i always say when it s snowing in new york snowstorms become a mate major story and i think that s what happened with omicron is that it hit new york and dc hard and a lot of journalists are concentrated in dc and new york and because of
Overreacting because they felt the rug was pulled out from underneath them. they were listening to the white house, the progressives, and they believed it was inevitable and suddenly they are also saying wait, what, so i think that s another reason you ve seen this harsher treatment of joe manchin because of the progressives in the white house that made it seem like the bill was inevitable. howard: that s a great point because i was constantly saying that they would say it will pass by christmas, by next year, but no, it doesn t necessarily have to pass and what i don t see as much of, emily is commentators and journalists saying it was pretty major political miscalculation by the vented or senator veteran senator now president pushing for the three naturally and dollar bill with earlier emergency spending without knowing if they were close to getting joe manchin on board knowing full well you need every democratic votes. absolutely. i think that s the headline because joe biden pro
Promised after his years of decades in the senate that he could negotiate this. there s much more going on so to grasp onto this simple narrative is not doing a service to the public. howard: very different coverage when john mccain was the maverick on killing obamacare. that white house statement accused joe manchin of the trail and we heard him come back and talk about right half white house aides tried to beat the living crap out of here and suddenly we had the wrestling match the media loves to cover. it s been an easy narrative to grip onto as emily said, and it works for both of them. i think they are leaning into it because for senator joe manchin elevates him and it s good for his base in west virginia, which is more right leaning constituency. it helps president joe biden he can really use biden as a foil to the progressives howard: you mean mansion. yes, joe manchin joe manchin, sorry. ultimately at the end of the day the press may be
