in retrospect it is pretty incredible that the media pressed donald trump, a man known for lying, about his obvious connection to project 2025 a single time. he said “nope :)” and the mainstream media collectively accepted that as truth. what a useless bunch of losers - ThreadSky

The media has abdicated its duties and made a mockery of its special Constitutional rights.

chrrlie.bsky.social•92 days ago

how could we expect someone would just lie!! on tv!!! it's unheard of

this drove me insane

They are not ready for what's going to happen. When the CDC has "no reports" of people dying from bird flu. When NOAA issues a PR that magically shows global temperatures decreasing. The people he's put in place are not committed to truth.

At least as free speech is lost they can finally shut up

The MSM is a propaganda owned and controlled by the ruling class. It does whatever they want it to do.

It's not because they're incompetent, it's because they are in the tank for Trump.

hungriestdog.bsky.social•93 days ago

you aren't immune to propaganda

hungriestdog.bsky.social•93 days ago

I say this because if the media is doing that shit who knows what else they are or aren't telling us to manipulate us

simongablelundmark.com•92 days ago

it wouldn't matter because trump voters wouldn't believe he'd do it anyway

*sure he says nutty things but he's their goofy guy--look at him dance! can a man dance like that and do a project 2025? of course not*

I think their mental gymnastics will rationalise a lot of the blatant fascism

marginalsc.bsky.social•93 days ago

He said nope so that was the fact check

the-hampter.bsky.social•93 days ago

The support for Trump hinges on the belief that every person but him is lying about everything and all evidence that points to him being a liar is fabricated

corvine-wintrblood.bsky.social•92 days ago

You'd think, but some of his supporters will actively confess he is a liar while still holding everything he says as true. It's... hard to wrap one's mind around.

the-hampter.bsky.social•92 days ago

90% of the time they say something like that it’s to le trigger the le libs

darksidestraxus.bsky.social•93 days ago

News Outlets: Care to comment on your obvious connection to Project 2025?

Trump: I have nothing to do with that.

News Outlets: Alright, thanks.

ptylerdactyl.bsky.social•93 days ago

So funny (funny uh-oh) how literally every structure intended to keep the machines of a semi-functional state operating are entirely subject to everyone involved believing in those structures' authority. So amazing to live in a world that can be completely upended by like three people saying "nuh"

ladyjadyn.bsky.social•92 days ago

unfort the generation that doesn't believe in psychology will keep being shocked when self-hating religious fundamentalists are given power. almost like the ones shouting about "mind viruses" and dictating others' beliefs on a god they've never felt are the ones who should be in psychiatric wards.

forgottensummer.bsky.social•92 days ago

He's lying/exaggerating/telling the truth when it's convenient to the narrative because who knows what could be true but definitely not worth looking further into

At least the right wing nuts openly call him "daddy".

autisticgecko.bsky.social•93 days ago

At this point can we even trust mainstream media? Especially when people rely on them for news. Like am I supposed to watch YouTubers to get my news? Maybe that's the case despite some of them not being reliable either.

And not a peep about trump executing project 2025 now he’s in office.

sp4cef0rc3.bsky.social•92 days ago

It hasn't been two weeks and he had a lot of his basic plans for the first days. Give him time to settle things down before he's ready to try and destroy democracy.

transmorpherdds.bsky.social•93 days ago

Stuff like this is always a stark reminder to me that mainstream news outlets are by and large for-profit ventures owned by billionaires.

Journalists, much like politicians, have been ideologically captured by the capitalist class. We’re rapidly reaching the breaking point of this system.

The Project’s Puppet

Trump swore he’s not aligned,
His every move proves he lied.
Policies he now makes live,
Match exactly: Project 2025.

Right?! I'd have my White House access in constant jeopardy if I were a current, active journalist in that space. Folks are afraid of poking the bear too hard, and the truth suffers because of it.

Democracy is in trouble when the press does not do its job.

ladyjadyn.bsky.social•92 days ago

democracy is in trouble when education is dictated by religious fundamentalists over actual educators.

the press failing is a symptom.

allisonevans.bsky.social•89 days ago

We have junkyard dog reporting but they don't want to tear trump apart for some reason. I guess its the perks of being rich, and shameless

sombre-reality.bsky.social•92 days ago

Turnip is where he is because the media hasn't been rigorous enough for over half a century. They helped create the myth. Turnip was portrayed as an ultra-rich, ultra successful property developer when he was a totally incompetent failure.

All a sham. All a scam.

GERMAN MEDIA: Do you plan to build death camps in an effort to exterminate Jews?
HITLER: Never heard of such a thing.
GERMAN MEDIA: Oh OK cool

bossman10000.bsky.social•93 days ago

They also never explained what “Project 2025” means, just used it as a campaign scareword/slogan. Nobody in Oct 2024 was talking about a mass gutting of the administrative state and the federal workforce, instead Kamala was out-hawking Trump on the border and foreign policy

m00psy.bsky.social•92 days ago

barely even as a campaign scare word!

cyanlol.bsky.social•92 days ago

remember when Biden posted on his Twitter “look up project 2025!” instead of just explaining what project 2025 was lmao

mikekeating.bsky.social•92 days ago

its not his job to educate you!!

treefoxx.bsky.social•92 days ago

It's over 900 pages of authoritarian craziness. Looking it up is legitimately better than someone trying to explain the whole thing.

All of this felt plain as day to me, but I continually meet more normie libs who are shocked because their media diet wasn’t alerting them to the actual level of danger.

bstro4.bsky.social•92 days ago

You should have read it! I did and I tried to tell people. I found that far right republicans did not believe me, but they also wouldn't read it for themselves.

justell.bsky.social•93 days ago

Juniper is right but there were a few occasions where they explained what was involved with 2025*, but the voting populace is uninformed. I consume way too much media so I did see some segments. Just not enough of them

bstro4.bsky.social•92 days ago

mainstream media continues to broadcast his lies over and over. I must have heard 15 times that trump thinks the plane/heli crash was due to DEI hires. This is such an obvious misrep( read LIE) it should have been said every time they ran the clip, "This is an unfounded lie that trump said!

rhetorusrex.bsky.social•93 days ago

To make it worse, when he denies he'll do something bad they believe him. But also when he says explicitly he will do something bad, they explain it away as bluster.

froggieflips.bsky.social•93 days ago

its one of the most baffling phenomena in the past decade imho.

“Trump says ‘No More Dancing’ if President”
“OPINION - Why Trump Won’t Ban Dancing”
“Trump signs Dance-ban EO, Dancers Cut Off Feet”

Every. single. time

abbsnormal.bsky.social•92 days ago

after the feet cutting it is like "Donald Trump Wants to Change Dance, Here Is Why That's Complicated"

winterpancake.bsky.social•93 days ago

Like 80% of modern mysteries can be solved by someone shouting class interest tbqh

froggieflips.bsky.social•93 days ago

true, and electing billionaires somehow didnt fix the problem!?!?

dlarat.bsky.social•92 days ago

Trump controls the media. It’s that simple. It’s all over.

theprince.tv•93 days ago

A bunch of spineless, complicit cowards. The reporting and coverage on the absolute dumpster fire that the US has become has been, at best, criminally negligent.

wingoshack.bsky.social•92 days ago

"Mr. Trump, are you a proponent of Project 2025?"
"Project what? Project 29? Never heard of it"
"Great! No further questions."

mccdave.bsky.social•93 days ago

And then “fact checked” Harris and everyone else who said he was lying and was going to do Project 2025. “He said he didn’t know about it, 4 Pinocchio’s!” Oops.

timmytwoshirts.bsky.social•92 days ago

* bought and paid for losers

thegodofcities.bsky.social•92 days ago

Respectfully I don't believe the MSM accepted it or anything else as 'truth', but instead accepted it as a lie and didn't bother to follow it up because they knew denials would come and so they gave up...they surrendered in effect. Dereliction of Duty is their sin in my view.

nikuneko-b.bsky.social•93 days ago

chriskittens.bsky.social•92 days ago

The lib media apparatus and trump have a charlie brown football relationship

somewhereapart.bsky.social•92 days ago

I spent the whole elections cycle watching MSNBC and they brought it up frequently, pointing out that even tho he claimed no connection to it he was surrounding himself with the architects of it and his own claimed plan hewed closely to it as well.
