Our media refuses to connect the dots. So if Trump does ten illegal things on a day to seize control of the government, they have ten little stories about how he stretched the law, instead of one big story about how he’s attempting a coup d’etat

'Refuses' is the operative word. I hope more journalists will have the courage of conviction @jimacosta.bsky.social has shown, and like you're doing Will, so new and legitimate places to get real news can come back to life.
This is why we the people are gonna have to be our own media. I cannot remember who said this first: but instead of talking about the population’s media literacy problem we need to be talking about the media’s citizen literacy problem.
Does it matter what they say? Wasn’t there a poll out that showed consumers of news voted for Harris by large numbers. Most Americans don’t consume news. I don’t event think elected republicans consume news anymore. Network and print media have smaller ratings than a mid sized TikToker.
Yes i think the suggestion is a super way to save emotional and mental fatigue from the Trump #Reichwing regime shock doctrine " flooding the zone" A coup it is and the rest are the horrible means to the end. Thank you..
The reason for this is that they’re so terrified of bringing the slightest bit of editorial judgement lest they get accused of bias, so they’ll report “Trump goes into bank with a gun” and “Trump comes out of a bank with bags of money” but never “Trump robbed a bank,” because that’s a judgement call
were you in the bank? maybe he was handed the money by an employee!! if a bank teller then lies about how Turnip pointed a gun at them and made them give him the bag, well then who are you gonna believe?? Biggest Mandate Ever or some radical leftist?
I have not watched any real MSM since the election. My hubby found an ABC relatively local news show. There's this girl interviewing a Republican and a Democrat and the Republican tells a lie in 30 seconds. She doesn't fact check him. She doesn't stop, push back, question, nothing. I turned it off.
Where are Kamala and Biden right now? This is actually a revolution… by the other side. It’s an overthrow of government. Call out Kamala and Biden and all those from the previous admin at least, to step up and get on TV and media. Wtf are they doing?
Solution to this (abysmal, morally repugnant) failure of the press is for elected Dems to make the overarching case, voice shaky with rage, so that they can at least report on the controversy

We are experiencing a critical thinking crisis.
Sometimes, only one side of the story is the story! There are times when one side is wrong! Just simply wrong!
We don’t need balance to report a building on fire!
We see the flames! It’s a fucking fire!
Balance is a goal, but journalism is fact.
Give us the facts!
like I just don't see what changes this even if people can't buy day to day essentials because the entire country's infrastructure literally breaks
