While the corporate media have been somewhat beside themselves with effusive praise of Donald Trump’s success at reading a speech from a teleprompter at his address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night, our guests on today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a> see it somewhat differently.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say journalists Jacki Schechner<\/b><\/a> and Gaius Publius<\/b><\/a> were far less impressed. They both join us today to un-spin Trump’s speech<\/a> and some of the alternative facts<\/a> he presented — on healthcare, energy, the hate-crime epidemic, his exploitation of the widow of a Navy SEAL killed recently in Yemen and more — as well as both the media’s and Democrats’, at times, beguiling response to it all.<\/p>\n

Both also offer thoughts on the very happy “merger” of the Trump and Republican Party brands, as well as the DNC’s election of a new party chair over the weekend — and what all of it means going forward.<\/p>\n

That’s a very short description for today’s very jam-packed BradCast!<\/i>. Enjoy!…<\/p>\n
