that dumbfuck megan mcardle couldn't have missed harder. bluesky has risen to twitter level. it's finally the destination for what twitter is best at: posting benign anecdotes about personal run-ins with celebrities on the day they die

your ass is scraping the floor if the propaganda you're writing for trump hinges on a quote from sean spicer who picked up before the first ring

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

Just want to express once again my contempt for all the mainstream and libertarian platforms that promoted this loathsome discount Goebbels. Shame on you.

There is no way to move forward unless rich liberals find a real media operation

The official position of ABC News is that Donald Trump does not hate people

a top reason republicans lie is they know the news media will launder it by upgrading their lie to "possible" and airing it

do not rank

i still do not understand how anyone takes mr. “liberal fascism” remotely seriously as a commentator

AP Style Guide page 21: always use active voice when possible except when the story is about Israel

ABC News will fire you if you don't say the president is a wise elder acting out of the goodness of his god-touched heart

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

Wonder if republicans have any ideas about a thing that work will set you

Me singing Creed Higher (phallocentric) vs me singing Creed Six Feet From the Edge (gynocentric)

put $60,000 on the new york times using the phrase "increasingly frustrated" in the lead and a parlay on "screaming in the oval office" in the nut of an article about trump reacting to musk within the next 24 hours

"If you want to fight fascism, go and win elections" ah yes elections the thing that fascists famously respect and continue

nyt descriptions of trump as hinge messages

this is the exact same energy as fox news producing a video in 2018 called "melania comforts child who spilled water"

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?

The joke 12 months ago was “did AI write this” and the news today is “AI wrote this”

his killings may sometimes be senseless or even downright unpleasant but he's killing every day and targeting all-comers. It's impressive stuff

Journalists describing craven opportunists even adjusted for Overton inflation as "pugilistic" is a silicon-macho tell that they want to be around them if not be them themselves

We’re all looking for the guy who did this.

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

In the year of our lord two thousand twenty-five, guys named Tripp Mickle still write racialized nimble finger stereotypes into the pages of the New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/23/t...

i think it’s interesting that random podcasters are “the left” but none of these people seem to care that JD Vance actively pals around with internet nazis

I feel like I missed an episode of bluesky, all the characters are talking about something I don’t remember happening

what's the point of being an access fucker if you don't even have access to an apple middle manager

the fascists win if they have the most victory points at the end of round 3

Plenty of Trump Says New Middle Class Tax Cut Arriving After Midterms reporters still bopping around asking him what he thinks about the news of the day

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.

I think my favorite thing about TV news hosts in DC is they haven't had a unique idea since they were probably 14

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

people really paying $25/month for fox news

There isn't a single reporter within 100 miles of Washington who has the stomach to ask this question to Trump

it's such a humiliating tell that the lead quote in this story is from *dean phillips* a guy who exists in a blink-realm where he sits by his phone 24 hours a day waiting for the new york times to call asking him to say something bad about joe biden

AN AVATAR CANNOT BE DEI UNLESS YOU THINK THE LITTLE SIMS YOU'RE CREATING ARE SENTIENT AND WHEN ONE OF THEM DOESN'T GET THE SPORTS MASCOT JOB IN THE NEWSPAPER IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S ANOTHER SIM WE DON'T SEE WHO MADE THE HIRING DECISION BASED ON THE SIM'S RACE DO YOU REALIZE HOW DUMB THIS IS OH MY GOD

Journalism is obsessed with the horse race (steps on rake that explodes and sends me to hospital where I’m told my health insurance provider is paying the hospital extra to fly my enemies into my room to watch me die)

did they not vet the lyrics for this banger before CPAC Riyadh

The news wording an ethnic cleanse like it’s an apartment upgrade

donald trump has been the assignment editor of this newspaper for 9 years
