The decision by all four broadcast networks to interrupt prime time for an explicitly political speech from Trump was a major break from precedent.
Biden and Obama were denied time in similar circumstances.

a related possibility is that these folks have a dispositional need to have "a seething, obsessive hatred" of some small group and they kept throwing shit at the wall until they found in trans people a group the savvy centrists were also willing to throw under the bus to perform 'moderation'
Really appreciate the justified anger in this piece by @ryanlcooper.com.
The GOP's narrative about trans people "is and always has been a lie. What these people actually have is a seething, obsessive hatred of trans people. They want them either back in the closet or dead."

The Hermione Ranfurly he mentions is a Countess who published a WWII diary in 1994, which was accurately described by the Times as “a madcap, aristocratic window behind the lines of war” – and you can read more about her here

It's not surprising that the so-called president of the U.S. did not mention this current disaster happening in our country, while addressing the nation last night.
The malignant narcissist is unfit to serve this great nation and he probably would have found a way to make it about himself.

This is Attorney General Pam Bondi’s ethics pledge.
She was a lobbyist for Ballard — the same firm hired to lobby for both Paramount AND Netflix.
But Trump’s Justice Department said Bondi will oversee the Warner Bros. merger.
It reeks of corruption.
Bondi must recuse herself.

The interview was recorded, as most good journalists will do. Fake news hides the crimes and truth from the people; they don't expose it.
Fox is a prime example of Fake News and the White House Press person is just another example of Fake News and Projection.

That’s an excerpt from Jan Bondeson’s Buried Alive, an entire book about “our most primal fear” – which it certainly was, for a time. Apparently, George Washington’s last wish was that he be “decently buried; and do not let my body be put into the vault in less than three days after I am dead”
