Newspaper Reader attempts to confront The Economist Political Melodrama!
Mar 02, 2025
In the Calculated/Manufactured Historical Haze of the Ukanian War, what stands out to the Reader of The Economist, is its ever growing Political Hysteria. The Reader need only look to Zanny Menten Beddoes appearence on the Dailey Show of Feb 12, 2024
Zanny Minton Beddoes – The Economist | The Daily Show:
There is a piss poor transcript so the reader is on her own. Yet The Daily Show is or was once about comedy and satire not about Political Propganda!
Editor: Reader turn your attention to this from Feb 28th 2025
Europe | Friday fiasco
A disaster in the White House for Volodymyr Zelensky—and for Ukraine
J.D. Vance set a trap for the Ukrainian president, who declined to flatter Donald Trump
Editor: Note The Economist Party Line is consistant over time, whose pitch reaches verifiable intensity and levels off , in a kind of rythemic point and counter point. Trump and JD Vance are the villians of this execise in political/idiological reportage! Reader this turged political melodrama reaches its end, here framed by the first sentence’s political fatalism!
The road ahead for Ukraine is now unclear, but strewn with danger. It seems likely that internal and external actors will increase the pressure on Mr Zelensky to resign, hold elections or both—though how that can happen during wartime without cancelling martial law and thus tipping the country into chaos is not clear. “Getting into a dialogue with Trump in this way doesn’t leave him a chance,” says an opposition MP in Ukraine. “He is going to have to destroy Zelensky now. I worry the price will be our whole country.”
Even deputies from Mr Zelensky’s inner circle agreed that it had been a disaster. Some reasoned the president had been tired, three years into war and a long transatlantic flight. He had been provoked into a manufactured fight. “J.D. was the problem,” said one of them. “Zelensky had to show strength to be credible for negotiations, but the emotions were too much.” A senior Ukrainian security source said Mr Vance seemed to be pleased that the negotiations never even happened. “As a wrecker, Vance had been well prepared,” he says. “He did his thing professionally.”
At the end of the shouting match, Mr Trump quipped, “This is gonna be great television.” The president of Ukraine scowled as he sat with his hands clasped. Mr Vance smirked. His work was done. ■
