This isn't fucking North Korea--these people are a joke and don't deserve to be treated remotely seriously.

Reposted from Aaron Rupar

for the third straight day, Leavitt is doing a briefing exclusively for MAGA influencers (yes, that's Jack Posobiec)

North korea even. Which is very dear leader - is more technical and less humiliating that this

glammygrammy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Was there a question in there? I couldn’t make it through.

State controlled media at its finest.

I wonder who will be the first to kneel down and kiss Trump’s feet.

So why are you sharing this?

Jack Posobiec. Pizzagate and pee. Quite the resume.

Where's Milo seated?

maxberger.bsky.social•3 days ago

on Daddy's lap, I presume

listessotempo.bsky.social•3 days ago

And they would explain why

If this had happened during a Democratic President's time in office, they would be going absolutely bonkers.Why isn't the media and Democrats yelling and screaming? The louder and more often, the better. We can't let this be normalized - we all need to call it out for what it is. A Dictatorship.

"Hi, my question is, could the President be anymore cooler?"
"That's a good question. Scientific opinion says no, but we see him getting even cooler everyday. And he does it for America."

Not a cult!

stillnotleia.bsky.social•3 days ago

If they had any spines, the next journalists to ask Leavitt or Trump anything should ask about the guy they invited who was suspended from Twitter and how that looks given that MAGA's are always banging on about "groomers".

I thought these jagoff, asswipes wanted to dismantle the FBI?

reganorwegian.bsky.social•3 days ago

Kim Jong Il would be proud, though.

dawnalene.bsky.social•3 days ago

💯 in agreement

laughandargue.bsky.social•3 days ago

I have to ask, and I'm not doing so confrontationally but because I genuinely don't understand your reasoning:

If your position is "people should not be increasing the visibility of this," why are you...doing exactly that?

ca-nc-galady.bsky.social•3 days ago

Same for his pretend cabinet mtg(s)

leosfera.bsky.social•3 days ago

of course you're not, north korea has a functional state.

mke-voter.bsky.social•3 days ago

“…This isn’t fucking North Korea…”

Not yet.

Absolutely. I don’t understand why they are shown. They aren’t informative, they are performative.

resistanceisnow.bsky.social•3 days ago

And who watches?

maudpauncefoot.bsky.social•3 days ago

BBC probably carried it live. But I wouldn't know, since I now turn them off once they go to their daily live coverage of the orange one's every fart and burp.

joshmallow.bsky.social•3 days ago

people who consider themselves serious journalists should at least be pretty insulted that these people have been elevated like this

francoisboudreau.bsky.social•3 days ago

This isn't North Korea... yet.

ladylinds.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is RSBN mainstream media? I don't even know what it is and I've only ever seen it on clips posted on social media

gregwalk.bsky.social•3 days ago

If the media had any spine, we wouldn't be living this fever dream.

50megatonfbomb.bsky.social•3 days ago

They would be pointing out how Don Lucre is a known distributor of child porn!

daveweigel.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is the RightSide Broadcasting feed fwiw, I have not seen networks pick it up.

maxberger.bsky.social•3 days ago

Relatedly: I follow politics insanely closely and am having an increasingly hard time following What The Fuck is Happening at any given time.

reuning.bsky.social•3 days ago

The hard part is that different things are happening in different media ecosystems. The CNN and FoxNews front pages are two different worlds and most people aren't paying that much attention.

maxberger.bsky.social•3 days ago

Which is to say: I totally believe you, and wouldn't even know how to figure out that answer either way (without, like, a TVEyes subscription).

suzanad1.bsky.social•3 days ago

All I hear him saying is lies

jjarchitect.bsky.social•3 days ago

RSBN is not a mainstream media company

mitflunkie.bsky.social•3 days ago

The ONLY coverage these should get is on SNL playing them essentially word-for-word.

lil2lins.bsky.social•3 days ago

We already know the answers that they'll be given to their questions

coopgrl.bsky.social•3 days ago

I agree. Her press conferences should not be reported on by any of the “real” media unless she actually says something serious and meaningful.

alangrofield.bsky.social•3 days ago

The newsworthy story is that the White House is planting right wing influencers to ask softball questions! As recently as the immediately previous Republican President this was understood to be a scandal by itself

davidmsloane.bsky.social•3 days ago

I did NAZI that coming.
