1294: Ephemeral Experience
Anderson Cooper, Mobutu Comparison and Media Incest
CNN's Anderson Cooper compared President Trump's refusal to concede to the waning days of Zairean dictator Mobutu Sese Seko, recounting an anecdote from his time in Kinshasa. The media environment has become increasingly "incestuous," with Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC constantly playing clips of one another to drive narratives. This was exemplified when Neil Cavuto cut away from a White House press briefing by Kayleigh McEnany, claiming her allegations of fraud were unsubstantiated.
