this is very clear and very straightforward about what's happening and at some point we also have to start pointing the finger at major news organizations who are flatly - out of bias, out of fear, out of incompetence, whatever - refusing to treat this as the emergency it is do your jobs - ThreadSky

Do your jobs is maybe not strong enough.

Any relevant journos watching, we can see your complicity. We know who you are, we'll remember your names, and we won't forgive you for not using your power to stand in the way of this.

Now, with this knowledge, DO YOUR JOBS!!!!!!!!!!!

stellajorette.bsky.social•97 days ago

Don't bother pointing the finger. The cowardice and complicity are self evident. Unsubscribe and support independent news outlets.

Musk is inside their OODA loop, whatever they are even able to find the words to speak about is shoved into the gutter by the next outrage, USAID, gone, Payments systems, already creating downstream havoc
NOAA CO2 data gone
"Naughty Words" being expunged by NASA
Education in their sights
Blitzkrieg

It sounds though a bit desperate to try and make people see how bad this is. Most people are idiots and the rest can do nothing about it. There should be some part of the system that must be used to stop this. How could America be so vulnerable and let this happen?

They’re just confused, and are trying to catch up

NPR is so frustratingly inept at this shit and I expected better but after seeing them fail again and again during 45’s first term, I no longer have the illusion they’ll deliver real news

davefernig.bsky.social•97 days ago

You can point as long as you wish, it makes zero difference - your lesson is Brexit.
The oligarch owners are laughing all the way to bank while you point. They care not.

dklawhorn.bsky.social•97 days ago

They are doing their jobs. They are protecting the interests and pockets of their owners. That’s all traditional media and its reporters care about. We live in a post-journalism age.

incompetusrex.bsky.social•97 days ago

One of the reasons I think Dems need to be performative and create spectacles that can’t be ignored is because the media is refusing to do its job and communicate how crazy what’s happening is.

strongasboar.bsky.social•97 days ago

The major news organizations are owned by the people who helped put Trump into power. Lets promote our local amd indepentent journalists putting themselves in the line of fire! Go old school, new forum, Journalists!!

reverendjesus.com•97 days ago

I think they're refusing because all the people who own news outlets are either part of Trump's inner circle or adjacent to it

glynb.bsky.social•97 days ago

Here in the UK BBC News has not mentioned it. I wouldn't know if I wasn't on bluesky.

wdtpw.bsky.social•97 days ago

It's in the guardian

glynb.bsky.social•97 days ago

Good. BBC?

wdtpw.bsky.social•97 days ago

If it is, I can't find it.

stormfinder.bsky.social•97 days ago

Same. Even tagged @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social about it.

relegatedthings.bsky.social•97 days ago

We have CNN on at the office and I don’t think they’ve even mentioned the Treasury protest since it started.

ashleymont.bsky.social•97 days ago

They are no longer a news organization!

bobbylox.bsky.social•97 days ago

Why aren't the DOGE ppl getting arrested? What is the Secret Service doing?

jmteo.bsky.social•97 days ago

This should be a headline quote across the legacy media tomorrow but it won’t be

alderfish.bsky.social•97 days ago

How do you do that anyway

david.uncensored.zip•97 days ago

I am very curious how local sinclair stations are reporting on it, if at all

jamesstaal.bsky.social•97 days ago

There are 23 Democratic governors. They need to mobilize their National Guard units now. Give donald a little lesson in states' rights and federalism. If the US Marshal Service blocks elected Democrats from entering federal buildings, they do so at their own peril. It's time for bullets.

rincewind.run•97 days ago

Dems have been slow to react but at this point high profile Dems are loudly trying to get the attention of the public and the news about the unprecedented danger we find ourselves in and they are being ignored

this will not break through if nobody outside of Wired and TPM will cover it

sonomalass.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yeah, I'm switching from calling my reps to calling local media sites.

rohandas.bsky.social•97 days ago

I have been screaming from the rafters to the people around me for days now and more than half are still unmoved and assuming I'm exaggerating. "If it was that bad, we'd see it in x outlet' is the constant refrain.

catfort.fightins.online•97 days ago

Is this one of those "lets not alarm the public" things? Like we often (rightly) drag mainstream media for putting sensationalism over substance, and I can think of nothing more sensational than the American government being toppled and couped by a billionaire and his hired insurgents

catfort.fightins.online•97 days ago

I just don't understand anything and I also understand way too much

feels bad dot jpeg, etc

pdxpup.bsky.social•97 days ago

Do you think people would get behind organized protests at tv stations, newspapers, etc. in their towns? Taking over the Today Show plaza with signs when they go live every morning could be very effective, I think. Visibly protesting media at their places of business could be pretty impactful.

pdxpup.bsky.social•97 days ago

Like, make it so loud and boisterous outside Rockefeller Center for their window backdrops during the live hits that it can't be ignored by anyone.

danielwbrody.bsky.social•97 days ago

Next step is going to be haranguing news editors

jwestbennett.com•97 days ago

news organizations seem to have been cowed into being extremely careful about how they cover Trump and Elon’s actions due to their indirect legal threats

it forms a striking parallel with how journalists under authoritarian regimes self-censor due to implicit threats of violence and/or imprisonment

mayawest.online•97 days ago

remembering the protests at CNN and how that should maybe happen again
