"Can you imagine the attention those posts would have gotten if #Biden had written them? The world’s press would have been camped out at the #WhiteHouse 24/7 waiting for him to be hauled away on a stretcher.
With #Trump it’s just another day …

"This isn’t actually a focus group. It’s a confessional. A group of people publicly explaining how they rationalize the decision to empower a man they admit is destructive, dishonest, and destabilizing. And the Times, instead of questioning them, just hit record."

> What’s new is the willingness of all too many media corporations to cave in so cravenly... In all three cases, Trump’s legal claims were widely seen as weak, yet the companies chose not to test them in court.
> Of course, you won’t be surprised to learn that Trump wasn’t satisfied with such groveling. He never will be. (He recently renewed pressure on the Federal Communications Commission to pull CBS News’s license.)

> ..begin.. by giving less attention to Trump’s executive orders —.. defined by a law professor as “just press releases with nicer stationery” — and more attention to the effects of his policies that get enacted. And while his ruminations may bear noting, they could appear, not in headlines, but.. page 11 (or its.. equivalent), which is where the #BostonGlobe relegated its report of the local 100,000-strong #HandsOff! protest.

> “No ICE, no fear, immigrants are welcome here!” I also copied down some of the homemade signs they were carrying. (Making such signs definitely seems to be a sign of the times.)
> Here are just a few that caught my eye: “Resist like it’s 1938 Germany”; “Deport Trump, not Students”; “Trump to planet: Drop Dead”.. “Turd Reich”; “MAGA is a death cult”; “Think while it’s still legal”; “Is there a vaccine for stupidity?”; “3rd term, Sing-Sing”; “No more Dogey Business”;

Funny how the #settlercolonial #apartheid entity has the #usempire media locked down and is telling Americans what to think.

This ‘Elon leaving politics’ story is such bullshit. Another example of the media being stenographers instead of reporting. Musk is seeding this story in order to try to stem the hemorrhaging at Tesla. He’s already said that he will ‘have to’ remain involved with DOGE to stop the ‘massive fraud and waste’ he’s uncovered from coming ‘rushing back’ the second he leaves.
Stop repeating his lies.

So we sat in our cozy living rooms and thought that Trumpet couldn't blow up any more frames, but no no no we have to think again, who the hell does he think he is. Wow, a few centimeters can make a difference

From 10000 to 200 slaps to JDVance because he again doesn't know a shit about what he's talking about, but it's mil. personnel that the US has cut since 1945 on Greenlandic bases. So go spank your self JD Vance

I like Abby Phillip and admire her ability to remain calm, but I cannot do likewise, so for the sake of my cardiovascular health I should stop watching her show. My blood pressure reaches alarming levels when she refers to Musk as "Elon".
I used to pride myself on being able to spot any Postmedia article by the headline alone. Now that Trudeau is leaving, it is less than 100% because Postmedia has to find things to write about other than "<fill in the blank> is Trudeau's fault" The bias is still there, but it is less pronounced.
Amanda Katz, who stepped down from her role on the Post’s Opinion team at the end of 2024, called the change “an absolute abandonment of the principles of accountability of the powerful, justice, democracy, human rights, and accurate information that previously animated the section in favor of a white male billionaire’s self-interested agenda.” #USPolitics #Bezos #WaPo #freedomOfThePress #USMedia #TechBros #Broligarchy

Major Shakeup Coming to MSNBC Lineup as Channel Preps Programming Reset
Newly-installed president Rebecca Kutler is set to stay the course with progressive voices, though Joy Reid's 7 p.m. show will be canceled in the changes.

Changes are bound to happen in the world of broadcast but I really hate to see Joy Reid, one of my favorites, to.
