"Basic newsworthy" has been mere mentions of the erasure of, oh, BLM Plaza, or the removal of every single photo of woman or POC, in every single agency across the .gov...
So one might begin to assume- these folks are "on board."

We all talk about parents and family members voting against their loved ones' interests, but JD does it bigger, longer and uncut.

How did it not come up during the campaign? Even I didn’t notice it!

The cultural radio silence around overt Nazism on the internet is so deeply bewildering and distressing to me. I checked out Twitter last year after having not been on the site in several years and it was horrifying. Local businesses and municipalities and so many other orgs still use the platform!

Can’t call the VP with all his Nazi buddies a Nazi because their editors think it’s too vitriolic

Hitler was running Germany while Mein Kampf was just there for anybody to read and see what he was really about. Makes me wonder how many Germans just chose to ignore it and other rhetoric because of "muh economy".

Old heads will remember how Obama was required to account for every view held by the pastor of his church, even after he stopped attending, and even though most of them were true and not even offensive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_Wright_controversy

If they acknowledge it, they have to cover it. And they want no part of it.

And it’s not like he is following a ton of accounts; he’s selective in who he follows.

Did 350 of the accounts be follows deactivate or something?

Of course it’s newsworthy, but if your goal is to treat both sides as normal political parties, it is absolutely necessary to ignore one side’s nazi ties. Otherwise your illusion is gone.

I think this is my read. I don't actually think that *all* the editorial boards and so on are fully on board with Nazism - but they are willing to pretend it isn't happening because to acknowledge how far right the admin is would be a monumental step they are afraid to take.

If the news media was functioning, we wouldn't be here now. 😞
