“That leaves us with a massive asymmetry, where Charlie Kirks work against rule of law democracy, Ezra Kleins pretend that they don’t, and together they work to convince everyone that all this is fine, just normal disagreement, so the people taking attacks on democracy seriously are the problem.”
"And they are adamantly opposed to recognizing bad faith, so they let themselves be used, over and over, in an endless attempt to find reasonable common ground with political forces bent on division."
Ezra Klein Accidentally Shows How the Media Brought Us Trump
The prominent liberal pundit made up a fake version of Charlie Kirk to praise, laundering his reputation the way a lot of mainstream media launders MAGA

Freshman year of college I attended the first queer-straight student alliance meeting, and later a boy from my dorm whom I’d seen there asked if we could talk. Sorta taken aback but eager to make friends, I proposed we get coffee, and we sat down at a picnic table on the quad.

Love to feel my brain working less well and having to wonder if it’s just aging or if it’s permanent damage from covid or the spoon of microplastics up there or the decade of chronic stress from the global resurgence of fascism

This is the kind of shit people were warning about when they said "hey there's these guys called Sinclair buying up every affiliate station in the country" but we didn't act then and now we're here
#BREAKING: Sinclair says it will air a one-hour tribute to Charlie Kirk on its ABC-affiliated stations in the time slot that is usually occupied for "Jimmy Kimmel Live." The special will air on Friday, per a Sinclair spokesperson.

Ordinary people are out on the street giving their all against a bully who is not only corrupt but unpopular, not only flailing at the proof he’s a child rapist but visibly dying before our eyes. And people with actual wealth and power are *racing* to lick his boots. We’re on our own.
Right-wing cancel culture just took Jimmy Kimmel off the air. And ABC’s surrender proves that mainstream media have failed once again to meet the moment.

It’s really skeeving me out how ALL of these different news outlets are peddling the “because of Charlie Kirk comments” headline for Jimmy Kimmel’s show termination when he actually made zero “Charlie Kirk comments”

I genuinely feel like I’m losing my mind. What we’re seeing here isn’t just “whitewashing” of Kirk, his renown, and his political legacy — it’s full-on manufactured delusion.
