Retired church musician and journalism/media professor. Distressed about the state of media and the amount of disinformation. How can I help?

This skills, an incredible insight into the MAGA mind and why we have to stop trying to change it. Really, really eye-opening. What do you guys think? I’m a little boggled.

I wish that so-called #”Christians“ would stop prioritizing Old Testament values over Jesus’ teachings: love one another, help those less fortunate, and turn the other cheek. They reject Judaism, but rely on the old testament whenever they want to target an “enemy.“

This is from a Trumpster to Ben Meiselas whose house is in the path of the LA fires. How did we get to a place where this is OK??

The mainstream media inform us, the resistance. They don’t frame it the way we like, but they give us the info to fight back. We wouldn’t know about this disease plot (for example) if not for the NYT. I’m frustrated too but we need to know how/when to fight back.

Maduro is giving Trump a blueprint — take over media and judiciary, and stay in power. 😖

Friends, this is the reason we can’t just ditch the mainstream media. They frustrate the hell out of us, but they have the resources to break this kind of story. We need them to keep digging. Support this type of reporting!
Breaking News: President-elect Trump’s advisers are said to be trying to identify a disease that could help them justify closing the U.S. border with Mexico. They have spent months trying to find the right disease to build their case.

#carterFuneraI hope Trump is thinking about what will be said at HIS funeral … can’t wait for the day

Actually I think Trump is dozing (@ Carter’s funeral)
January 9, 2025 at 3:39 PM
Watching Carter’s funeral. At first Trump couldn’t stop yakking. Now I wonder if he’s hearing any of the scripture the grandson just read about the importance of the gifts of the spirit over the desires of the body … ? 🙄

Folks, I know this won’t be popular, but this is blue sky not the other place right? We can’t drop the mainstream media like a hot potato. They have Access we don’t and many of us reference them in correcting the Trump record. We hate Waopo now, but we need the indepth reporting they & NYT can do.

How can we pierce the Fox News/right wing radio bubble? Love this video from Meidas Plus. How can we get it to run on right wing media? I know it takes money… How do we raise it?

I am a distant relative of President McKinley and it is totally embarrassing for that name to be back in the news. One thing has changed: as president, McKinley was a tool of the Republicans. Now the Republicans are a tool of the president (elect).
