Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down.

And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.

I wrote about how particularly ridiculous it is that Senate Democrats, led by Dick Durbin, think the priority should be repealing Section 230 and undermining the very open internet we need more than ever right now. www.techdirt.com/2025/02/21/w...

AG Sulzberger XXII was born rich & powerful & respected by Elite because he is rich & powerful. Nothing I say will change fact he’s likely to always be rich & powerful & respected by Elite AND history will be kind to him because it will be written by his grandchildren, but AG Sulzberger is a VILLAIN

The Pentagon is doubling the number of media outlets losing their workspaces.

OUT: The New York Times, The Washington Post, NBC, CNN,
Politico, The Hill, The War Zone, and NPR.

IN: New York Post, The Washington Examiner, OANN, Newsmax, The Free Press, The Daily Caller, and Breitbart.

Sorry, but no. A few hammered this. The media as a whole hammered inflation & a nonexistent recession for years, platformed famous economists to mislead you about Biden/ARP causing all the global inflation, & totally erased these obvious consequences of Trump’s policies from headlines all thru 2024.

Why the crypto industry backed Trump: because the crypto oligarchs want billions of dollars from the US government
@chrislhayes.bsky.social has the best explanation of this story I have seen
youtu.be/qWANiC28M8o?...

TRUMP: I’m going to use the FBI illegally to go after my political enemies!

BIDEN: Um, I guess I’ll pardon my son then because fuck that.

MEDIA: Biden is breaking norms!

Number of New York Times stories yesterday on Joe Biden pardoning his son: 6.

Number of New York Times stories yesterday on Trump promising to weaponize the FBI to go after innocent American citizens who he considers his political enemies: 1.

THIS is the failure of American media.

I genuinely don't think I can handle the next four years of New York Times headlines.

Kill me now.

i keep seeing people saying “no way to know why dems lost” and it makes me want to lose my mind

they lost bc disengaged voters bought gop bullshit and its pretty obvious this was the payoff of a generational effort on the right to work the refs in media…

Great piece fom @gregsargent.bsky.social interviewing @sulliview.bsky.social in @newrepublic.com
First, a sober but terrifying vision of the future. Then, the exact argument many of us have been having for a while about @nytimes.com et al. (Transcript here, audio in comments.)

Fantastic episode of @onthemedia.bsky.social that looks at the deep roots of right-wing media dominance. From Katie Thornton’s award-winning audio documentary The Divided Dial. Perfect time to check it out: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... Democrats might pine for a country of high-information voters fostered by civics education and responsible social media platforms that elevate truthful policy statements. However, they shouldn’t hold their breath. Still there’s plenty to do

ANNOUNCEMENT:

We’re about to launch a massive recruitment to build a cross-platform Digital Field Team to rival the right wing’s troll army.

Please share and join our call to learn how you can be a part of the solution during Trump 2.0.

Pass it on.

Media & Political Elite tell US that Democrats need to tweak this or that in order to get back into power, but Biden could have literally cured cancer, forged world peace, got everyone in US a pot of gold AND his approval rating would be in the mid-40's, because: REUPBLICANS CONTROL ALL THE MEDIA

If you think the reason the Republicans won is because of Fox and other MSM you’re truly missing the entire information ecosystem that exists. Most people aren’t even watching MSM anymore. It’s a massive diverse information world. Remember mocking Trump for going on WWE and comedy podcasts?

Yeah.

A key reason voters don't believe the fascists are fascists is that major media outlets keep normalizing them with cover stories cueing the public they are just like Hollywood celebrities.

Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"

An excerpt from my book, Shameless: "Left-wing media gains its 'unbiased' legitimacy by criticizing Democrats. Not to be confused with right-wing media, which also gains legitimacy by criticizing Democrats."

I'm not saying that leftwing media needs to be groveling simps for the Democratic Party...
