How about the media stop with the "Trump being Trump" and call his BS for what it is: deranged rantings.

vlkorosei.bsky.social•8 days ago

Amen.

moryjaaunrma1.bsky.social•9 days ago

100 percent accurate

rsavir.bsky.social•9 days ago

Or how about just airing the entirety of Project2025 one chapter at a time?

redmischief.bsky.social•9 days ago

All of that and never calling a lie a lie, or the person who was lying a liar.

peacejunky.bsky.social•9 days ago

helpfully pertinent data:

and of course, they haven't let up one bit. in fact, they've accelerated!

itus.bsky.social•9 days ago

Corporate media/journalism is absolutely terrible, and deserving of the criticism. I don’t think there’s been a proper accounting for exactly what kind of society the U.S. is. *Everyone* watched the events of Jan 6th playing out live on TV. Somehow, that wasn’t disqualifying. That’s on the voters.

rawhead.bsky.social•9 days ago

It's all an easy out for the media because as long as they go after Biden and the Democrats, no self-reflection needed, no need for any tough discussion on their own failures.

beulahmo.bsky.social•9 days ago

I think this explains a lot of it.

peacejunky.bsky.social•9 days ago

self-reflection is the least of their concerns. they dismiss such 'woke' notions as pathetic, useless. their bottom line is, go for their agenda, which they've made increasingly clear over half a century. they want to maintain an upper class and their position in it. they're not gonna give up now.

stevebev.bsky.social•9 days ago

No self reflection, but there is nevertheless calculation eg:

1 ‘Biden old’ got outrage clicks from some D, and at worst grudging indifference from T + Maga

2 Whereas, Trump old and bad got some approval from D, but enmity and retribution from T + Maga

3 Price for doing business >> integrity

Spot on as always!

unlikelysuperheros.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yes.

marcau24.bsky.social•9 days ago

I think it’s possible to cover the book and developing news simultaneously. The book is useful if we take away the lesson that no one who is even borderline unfit should be running.

briankc.bsky.social•9 days ago

Media: Biden is old and senile!

The rest of us: Ok, Donald Trump is older and more senile, and he's stripping us of due process as he builds a fascist state.

Media: But Biden!

olessart.bsky.social•9 days ago

I agree with you, but like it or not, American politics and campaigns are a popularity/entertainment TV show. That's not something the Dems, and especially Biden, are good at.

realman1949.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yes, another hit on the head. 🚫MAGA

drtcsmith.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yes, and as all GOP interpretations, the "coverup of Biden's decline" is the ongoing coverup of Trump's deterioration.

olessart.bsky.social•9 days ago

This country is ageist and doesn't like old people. Most people don't like getting older, don't like looking older, and don't want to be around old people. Biden and Trump are close in age, but Biden projected REALLY old from June on last year. Don't discount that.

pataz1.bsky.social•9 days ago

Except… they didn’t even do “both sides journalism”.

The #ConservativeNewsNetwork was a continuous infomercial for the GOP since Licht fired all the liberal hosts.

imnotapu2.bsky.social•9 days ago

As per.. @marcelias.bsky.social is spot on!

jkhymn.bsky.social•9 days ago

very true

wanderingrocket.bsky.social•9 days ago

The original sin was Jake Tapper, CNN and other legacy media purposely sane washing the shit out of Trump to downplay how fucked up and horrid he is, thus making people feel like he was a viable choice.

Tapper is a collaborator and partial cause of this fascist regime and his book is a distraction.

candyworks.bsky.social•9 days ago

You just keep telling yourselves that and they’ll do it again and again. Your blaming others is like a stinky, endlessly drooled on security blanket.

regp22.bsky.social•9 days ago

On a different topic...as I was listening to Cleanup on Aisle 45 I was wondering if we the people could sue the government for the 5 million payout to Ashli Babbitt for a wrongful payout, for wasting taxpayers money? Just a thought.

chiffonelle29.bsky.social•9 days ago

Absolutely

blueresisterinca.bsky.social•9 days ago

My question is; why is the media so complicit? Are they getting kickbacks from The Convicted Felon’s meme coin?

mehhhhh12345.bsky.social•9 days ago

No - democrats shot themselves in the foot with some of their policies. What was going on around the border was unsustainable. Also, Joe was a transitional president, they need it to pick someone younger to carry the baton but they acted just like republicans do and now we are all suffering for it.

billejzak.bsky.social•9 days ago

You are right. We expect propaganda 24/7 from right-wing media. The so-called mainstream media failed us by its obsessive reporting about Biden's age, which had no effect upon his administration, & failing to fully report on Trump's continued embrace of his stolen election lies & autocratic agenda.

musk-family-ftms.bsky.social•9 days ago

"Original Sin" was the Billionaires and their corporate media holdings that were determined starting the day Joe Biden took office in 2021 that felon Trump was going to be GOP Presidential Nominee, no matter what in 2024.

bakeoff.bsky.social•9 days ago

The media and their hired people doesn't give a crap. At the end of the day, it's all about ratings, clicks, outrage and whatever their billionaire owners tell them what to say.
Journalism by and large is dead.

roccafella07.bsky.social•9 days ago

OK, you bringing us to Sunday service sermon today go ahead and preach that word cause everything you say is resonate with me 100%

bakeoff.bsky.social•9 days ago

lol, i don't wanna be a preacher by any means. That kind of money-grabbing manipulation would fuck up my peace of mind when laying my head on my pillow at night.

truthaxe.bsky.social•9 days ago

From the jump (2015), the media failed to treat Trump the way it treated every other candidate before or since. It only snowballed from there.

His casino being fined $10M for persistent money laundering that occurred while he was running it should obviously have been disqualifying but was ignored.

mementomori4950.bsky.social•9 days ago

Tax cuts are all they care about 😏

sencbeachbum.bsky.social•9 days ago

I don’t get the title. Most folks would think it better aligns with the actions of the current administration and their 1st go around. Biden never turned against his god. Bad judgment isn’t a sin. Regardless tapper is still an asshole

itsallgreektome.bsky.social•9 days ago

And for us former Catholics: backing Joe who was old-venial sin; msm omitting djt's rambling, nonsensical rallies from their reporting & sane washing his other shit-mortal sin.

Can we just leave Joe Biden in peace? Please?

No more talk of coverups; no more non-urologists digging into his diagnoses. No mention, ever again, of the mythical Biden Crime Family! We’re done, full stop, end of story! Capisci?

coryrado.bsky.social•8 days ago

Letting our biggest news sources be corporate owned for profit companies with their own motives besides the truth was the original sin

candyworks.bsky.social•9 days ago

Lame & disingenuous. Nobody is stopping any reporting on anything, before or after “The Book.” Neither Dems nor media have their sh*t together, regardless of Tapper’s book. This stupid “closing rank” just proves his point.

littlemissemmet.bsky.social•9 days ago

Trump was riding on the media's "dementia Biden headlines".

whilst McFascist, still having his own OBVIOUS cognitive difficulties, for some reason - media wouldn't look at it.
Why?
Afraid? Paid off?

Or just the simple fact: It didn't sell as much/got enough views thx to the narrative: Teflon Don.

mikefarough.bsky.social•9 days ago

Aarom Sorkin spelled it out in The Newsroom. As long as the network is beholden to capitol hill to operate, the news is censored.

timomajere.bsky.social•9 days ago

There is a word for that.

razor2024.bsky.social•9 days ago

Mainstream media has become the epitome of laziness . It is less work to keep the conman in place and get lots of easy content than it is to do real journalism
