I’m wondering how this will intertwine with their recent decision to seize control of the presidential reporting pool process. Which also usurps freedom of the press.

Biglier than ever

This ties in directly with my own comment below

It still blows my mind that out of 340M Americans, this ONE guy holds so much power—whether he’s President or not. How are so many people still stuck in this endless loop, tiptoeing around him like he’s untouchable? Did The Apprentice come with some kind of mind-control feature? Don't get it.

WH took his words and created a propaganda campaign!

Changing everything for the moment to cause chaos among journalists!

Not a coincidence that WP changed the direction of the editorial page and the paper.

We love in Nazi America. The word “Republican” should never ever be used to describe someone who supports Trump. They are Nazis.

experimental22.bsky.social•6 days ago

Live. I’m appalled the word love is in a sentence about Trump’s Nazi America. That is pure hate.

Lose is good but Trump and his administration neutered or gone is better.

Gave the AP $20 for legal fees.

“…will not stand.” Sure it will; we’re in the laws-as-suggestions phase of fascism.

I hope you are right! I saw Elmo suggest impeaching judges. If that happens, we are lost.

Dear DOGE supporters: If The Felon King is a “stable genius” and sophisticated businessman, why is that he and his cabinet cannot tell us whether Ebola prevention funding is cancelled or restored?

And why the smiling, is Ebola a joke to them?

Whatever shred of democracy we have left depends on informed, trusted, and courageous information sources. The billionaires now control the print, cable, and online media that many people use. Many journalists are cowed by Trump and Musk. Seek out and support good sources of information.

AP has a great app which provides the equivalent of an excellent daily newspaper. Free.

The resistance needs to choose its own Press Secretary - and call a press conference every time there’s one in the WH. Let the podcasters cover the propaganda - and real reporters can cover democrats messaging about resistance strategy and achievements.
Messaging messaging messaging.

Well, now that he's shivering in his shoes for fear his plane will be shot down, those intrepid AP journalists may end up being the lucky ones and we'll be rid of the sycophantic propagandists who'll go down with Krasnov.

This is undemocratic and it must be resisted. It is the Gulf of Mexico!

Maybe we need a mass Press refusal to attend?

He’s saying “big league,” and he’s using it when a normal person would say “big time.” There’s no “bigly.”

Not until journalists have one another's backs over WH aggressions.

Great article! Our last hope for democracy, the judicial branch of government

The media supports Trump. So it’s not the media Vs Trump.
