We don't have state media, we have public private partnership media which is the same thing but vastly more expensive and embarrassing. Murica.

There multiple more-accurate intellectual terms for what’s going on here, but I think the most powerful is “being a tool.”

it would even be more responsible to phrase it "-a move he believes will make the military more lethal"

that wouldn't even require the courage of any convictions it's just a more accurate version of the same sentence.

Or “he argues” or “he claims,” because who knows what the scumbag believes

To be fair the district court for the District of Columbia did rule in court that “Transgender persons can have warrior ethos”

Yes, exactly. I fucking hate when the press does that, just... parrot their framing without even a "what they claim is".

Not enough editors with a brain at Politico? It's either lazy writing/editing or on purpose.

After Snopes and Politifact "fact checked" the claim that Trump was tied to Project 2025 and concluded, "Well he said he isn't so he's not," I lost all faith in a critical and independent 4th estate. The wealthy wanted fascism so we got fascism.
