Summary

Don’t miss our weekly recap of the craziest moments in corporate media: Watch this week’s Monday Mourning here: “So, we are still at war with Iran?” CBS’ Margaret Brennan asked top White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett. “I don’t know what the definition of war is,” responds the smiling Hassett. It’s been over 60 days of Trump’s disastrous war-of-choice on Iran, the global economy is breaking, and Americans can’t afford gas and basic household items. Yet still Trump sends his economic team onto the corporate Sunday shows week after week to tell us that the economy’s fine, and who even knows what a war is? Oh, and also that Iran is now using dolphins as suicide bombers to attack US ships. The WMD hoax seems like a sophisticated ballet operation in comparison to whatever’s going on these days.
