The bizarre media focus on Biden’s mental acuity 5 months after he left office seems to me to be a GLOWING red flag that major media outlets have been completely compromised by trump. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever they’re talking about it otherwise.

man, CBS is just going absolutely all-in on destroying their news reputation
Scoop: CBS News pulled a "60 Minutes" segment that focused on job losses at the Internal Revenue Service hours before it was scheduled to air, replacing it with a feature story on Cajun music.

We’re literally in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in 🇺🇸 history, & the @nytimes.com & every other major media outlet has decided this is the main news story. It would be shocking, if it weren’t so sadly predictable & utterly pathetic.

At 1:34 AM Trump called for DOJ to investigate Kamala Harris, Beyoncé, Springsteen, Oprah and others for crimes, he then made another deranged post about it at 9:11 AM, and the lead story of the day on MSNBC and CNN continues to be Joe Biden in 2023.

(📣) In light of the horrifying racism and antisemitism being perpetrated by Grok—which xAI cagily will not link to any specific high-access employee, but that Grok itself speculates might have been caused by Elon Musk—I am making free my report on how a bigoted Musk conned rich liberals for decades:

Errol Musk has given up the game—and the world can never see his son the same way again. This is the story of how a bigoted coot detonated a charade the Richest Man on Earth spent decades perfecting.
