The explicit purpose of network media is to establish the government’s narrative as the default as soon as possible by having the fascist party represented in a trusted news environment with the stated guarantee that they will be invited back every day regardless of whether their statements are true

MAGA Voter Assumed Trump Would Only Deport People On List She Mailed To White House

The problem is the media says "Trump claims" for everything and will also say "Harris claims" or "AOC claims" for claims that clear the bar of plausibility whereas Biden robot clones are obviously if not deliberately fantastical spasms of a mendacious troll

i mean they did, but do you think the NYT ran more stories about what mass deportation looked like in reality or more stories about trumps claim kamala isnt really Black? did cnn do more segments regurgitating trumps lie hed only go after criminals or talking about who would really be deported?

There was a time when people who openly lied weren’t booked on this show because the host of the show insisted that people who denied Trump lost the 2020 election didn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt but that was before the publication of a book about biden that needed promotion by megyn kelly

On literally day one of journalism school they tell you not to write “agenda leads” — statements you could write before the event begins like “Trump Gives Speech.” You know he’s going to give a speech, so the lead should be the thing you don’t know is going to happen. Agenda leads are press releases

This is a good point. Going after Biden lets these people convince themselves they’re speaking truth to power while simultaneously shrinking in utter cowardice every day while fascism takes over unthreatened by any real press truth telling.

there is no way back. the media loves him because they don't actually listen to him, they describe him as a "controversial figure" and celebrate when he spends 18 seconds saying due process might be good in a 3-hour episode that was about how the polio vaccine gives you polio

it's long overdue for reporters to understand what bad faith actually means and to stop rewarding the people who are explicitly flouting their bad faith as an actual religion with daily slate-wiping and the presumption, fully undeserved, that maybe today they're speaking with pure intentions

The media loves trump because of stories like this— spontaneous, easy to report, and improper enough that they can say it raises ethics questions without accusing him of being unethical. "Qatar plane" and its day 2/3/4 stories are all fun for a press bored by Biden and resentful of the left for it
