They don't need a new crystal ball. They just have to get their heads out of the lefty asses so they can get a view of what's really going on around them.

But they won't in spite of what the election should have taught them.

The editors at the New York Times need a time machine to take them back to the good old days when a lot of Americans read the crap they published about the glories of the Soviet Union. America’s enemy is different, but the philosophy is the same:

Newsweek Sells For $1 To Stereo Equipment Mogul Sidney Harman​

Jeez, one cover is worth more than the whole damn magazine:

About 125,000 of the commemorative issues were published; the few surviving copies have achieved some sort of historic status, with most of the sellers describing their offering as “unread” or “in mint condition.” The public is interested. Some offers already have drawn multiple bids.​

Warlock vs. Tycoon


Maybe the media is not to blame.

Our new age is marked by high-speed, and maybe Newsweek has trouble keeping up. I mean, what do we value more these days, philosophers/poets or capitalists/tycoons?

Here's a mock dialogue between a modern-day 'poet' (American movie star Leo DiCaprio) and modern-day 'tycoon' (newly-elected U.S. President Donald Trump about climate change druidism.

I've always trusted CNN for election coverage...

DICAPRIO: What do you think of the unnatural rate of climate change?
TRUMP: You should make a movie about it!
DICAPRIO: I'm part of the production team behind a new Captain Planet movie, actually.
TRUMP: I don't have time to keep up with 'global warming hype.'
DICAPRIO: Don't wait until it's staring you in the face, Mr. President!
TRUMP: I haven't been sworn in yet.
DICAPRIO: Plan ahead!
TRUMP: I'm being guided by a 'celebrity'!
DICAPRIO: Take a tip where you can find it.
