More stuff out of Trump’s Nazi Germany.

He’s taking over federal agencies and Big Media to centralize power and authority under his control — just like Hitler did.

This is Hitler 2.0. This is the Fourth Reich.

The idea of free speech in America is a myth.

Most people are shackled by corporations. They control what you can publicly say in a social media post.

Or you face serious consequences.

I don’t understand this. The MSM bent over backwards to get TFG elected either by being so negative towards Dems or ‘balancing’ coverage so thoroughly that reporting became meaningless. What’s the problem here? Did they not suck up hard enough?

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.
-Theodore Roosevelt

Wait a minute, go after the damn media and lack of coverage of these immoral criminal wars that they fueled and welcomed the lies and propaganda and ignore the genocide we seeing in Palestine! #freepalestine #yemen #congo

The Emperor has issued another edict....No bad press, no one gets to criticize me, no one gets to chastise me, no one gets to get in the way of my alternative reality on any subject even the Church. Hubris.....

Anyone remember when Trump said he would terminate parts of the Constitution?

Why didn’t Fox ever pay a price for their lies? I have 478 million reasons why I believe they should

We are no longer free.

The Party of Trump only likes it when free speech smothers Trump in praise.

We need Matt Taibbi to rescue us! 😂

If they actually did their job I might feel sympathy for them...they did nothing but promote the spectacle that is the orange goon and his maga morons....the fate they deserve......

dennissp.bsky.social•30 days ago

I wonder what the burden of proof is for an agency like the FCC to make findings and impose fines and sanctions. I fear it is much lower than judicial proceedings.

Project 2025 fast tracking their fascist playbook....it doesn't stop here....not by a long shot.

These feckless punks are the sorest winners I've ever seen.

angiesuniverse.bsky.social•30 days ago

Petty. It's time to recognize that we live in an autocracy.

pixeleye9.bsky.social•31 days ago

It's the beginning of the end

I will no longer read american main stream media outlets, clearly an agenda is being set!

The press isn't going to cover his crazy policies in a fair way (or cover them at all) because they are scared of him and are owned by billionnaires who don't want to take risks!

Meidas touch, David Pakman, Tennessee Brando, and many more independent media ARE fighting “without fear or favor”

digitalgypsie.bsky.social•31 days ago

No complaints against Fox or the right wing disinformation networks?

nabilab.bsky.social•30 days ago

Well the didnt vote are as guilty as a rump vote. Period!

j-dave.bsky.social•31 days ago

They always say Democrats fall in love and Republicans fall in line. Watching Republicans revealing themselves everywhere with democracy and freedom on the line is really pretty horrifying.

Well, the targets FAFO'd. They thought they could aid and abet the election of a person of low morality into a position of supreme power, perhaps to have headlines that generated themselves. They didn't anticipate us tuning out, as they had lost our trust. Double loss.

What sore winners

jtcompton.bsky.social•31 days ago

FCC: You networks lied about Trump telling lies.

Networks: Here are his lies and here are the facts.

FCC: He was telling the truth!

Networks: Prove it.

FCC:

FCC: Files charges in Judge Cannon's court and she shuts them all down.

Networks: We didn't think the fascism we cheered for would affect us.

Why file in Florida when you can file in Texas’ 5th district and ensure that Matthew Kacsmaryk will align with the most insane republicans you’ve never heard of

jujubee94.bsky.social•30 days ago

So it was totally worth it for ABC to sell out George Stephanopolis then.

pam-10.bsky.social•31 days ago

Outrageous!

All part of the Trump 2.0 Revenge Tour.

immcgill.bsky.social•31 days ago

All the networks thinking " Trump's not going to eat my face", bowing and scraping, surrendering their last vestiges of legitimacy.

You’re only free to say as many nice things about the felon as you want.

Isn't he the guy that told blatant lies for the entirety of his campaign? Not to discount those he's told the rest of his life

ottovondanger.bsky.social•31 days ago

Do these idiots realize they own all these "Legacy" media companies and they won?

drloveless.bsky.social•31 days ago

What did they think would happen when they kow-towed to a fascist regime?

nymhartist.bsky.social•30 days ago

Amazing it’s missing the companies that paid $787 million for lies about election results

athenanike71.bsky.social•29 days ago

And after all those media outlets' bowing and scraping, too. 😒

resistmagafascism.bsky.social•31 days ago

Rather than pushing back because they are in the right the national news is folding like a house of cards.
They were never on their viewers side anyway. Let them fail.

zchrist.bsky.social•30 days ago

WTF could they possibly be complaining about? These legacy outlets provided the softest apologist BS coverage imaginable. Oh, and the fascist won thanks to their extra soft coverage.

owntherepub.bsky.social•31 days ago

Faux News did exactly what 60 minutes did and edited it's interview with Donald with Lawrence Jones.

nothappy-1.bsky.social•30 days ago

We can't totally leave MSM, except Fox News, of course. I'm not ready to get my news from some guy with a podcast.

skrappi.bsky.social•30 days ago

OMG, we're turning into Russia 2.0. If Free press don't fight back, that's exactly what will happen.

stingleword.bsky.social•31 days ago

Hey ABC...

how's that $15M treating you?

icantwritenow.bsky.social•31 days ago

Exactly what I was going to say.

ourcommonground.com•31 days ago

None of this is about governance. It is a full attack and insurrection w/o windows being broken and breaches of physical spaces. Non-violent take over in plain sight, dismantling, violating, and "fuck the constitution" deliberation. The Dems seem to have no clue as to which way to "shoot back".
