Well, libs just like to perform progressivism. That's why they never fucking fix shit when they get in power. We truly need an actual leftist platform in this country, or things will never get better.
It was obvious that the entire media ecosystem was for Trump. All of them. Mainstream media. Podcasters. Social media didn’t hide it. Even traditional entertainment was playing footsie with Trump. “You’re evil! You’re abetting fascism!”…” yeah, so?”
Wow, how to say "I liked Brooks, Friedman, and Kristoff in the 90s and embraced policing, deregulation, workfare, NAFTA w/o labor or envtal sides, the lies about every war, NCLB, Occupy!, BLM, ecoterrorism, wokeness, and antisemitism" without saying so.
Probably still an understatement at this point. The mainstream media, the entire 4th Estate, largely abdicated all of its responsibilities, spread-headed normalization and now is openly making a common cause with fascism.
The advent of Fox news created the opinion entertainment networks sold as news. And MSM jumped on that train. 60 minutes has been the only consistent investigative news source for broadcast. And headlines are dishonest.
Yes, why can’t liberals be more like Trump and jail them? Everyday I think why aren’t we strong arming the free press. Haven’t we learned anything from dictators?
There are no accidents in legit reporting. There are either multiple sources, or named sources, and/or verifiable documents. Publishers, senior editors, and opinion writers are a different issue. Again, no accidents.
The Republican's decades-long propaganda campaign re: the "liberal media" was never made in good faith, but was *effective*, heralding both their own propaganda network and MAGA dismissing "fake news." "We get complaints from both sides" doesn't mean the media does a good job and we should say so.
We spend so much of our time begging them to “do better,” when our entire posture should be “you like aiding evil, you love it, and you’re part of what we’re fighting against.”
This becomes a real problem when the average liberal is a vote blue no matter who proponent who is hellbent on trying to find a dem to run that appeals to conservatives as they believe this to be pragmatic politics and not conceding ground to the GOP.
We could get together, say no and boot them, but their purpose isn’t to govern us but to placate us.
I can’t get over that zenith opposition moment of Booker’s filibuster of…nothing. Ahhh, the victory frenzy, when barely anybody bothered to ask why he didn’t do it for something worthwhile.

Capitalism sucks.
We've had 30 years of corporate fascism running a duopoly, owning both parties.
We finally have a verifiably brownshirt corporate fascist at the helm & they're still watching corporate news.
Look where "being nice" has gotten us.
@apnews.com has been good during this stretch
Though Media Matters was way too soft too and seemed to only go after the most wildly right wing.
