My ranking of damage to legacy media outlet:
1. ABC Trump settlement.
2. Joe Scarborough suck up.
3. Bezos pulling WaPo Harris endorsement.
4. CNN promoting Scott Jennings.
5. Fox Dominion settlement.
Thoughts?

Disgusting 🤢
Insincere
Unauthentic
Liar
💩
and on and on
I have no fu*ks to give for those who voted against themselves
All the baddd stuff will effect them as much as the rest of us
Your stats, plus the combo of 2.5 yrs of COVID isolation & the increasing bizarreness of righties, has made me afraid of any new in-person socializing with strangers in my conservative corporate town. (& good lefties might be suspicious of ME too) Damn.
I really need an edit function.

It's not because they're all stupid or clueless, it's because that's who they want...
If not themselves.. What about their daughters, granddaughters who might be impacted by reproductive care, joining the military, going to college, on and on
In addition to vetting a Harris endorsement, the billionaire owner killed an op-ed criticizing cabinet nominations.

Excellent list, overall.
Everyone can do something, and when that something is part of a bigger plan, we are even more powerful.

-Killed endorsement for Harris
- Hired Scott Jennings for editorials
- Killed an article criticizing Trump Cabinet noms

Patrick Soon-Shiong’s intervention comes after the billionaire owner blocked the editorial board’s endorsement of Kamala Harris. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/la-times-oped-trump-owner-b2664015.html?callback=in&code=NDZJYMNMM2ITNGRMYS0ZZMJILWJKNZGTNTLJYZE4MDVJNDEY&state=77d44289252042baa069ea44c829f4a8
ABC (dressed like a lawyer): “So, uh, I just settled with Trump. Any thoughts?”
Fox (wearing a cheap suit): “That’s nothing. I got sued by Dominion… twice. They made me pay big time.”
Joe Scarborough (sipping a cocktail, nervously): “I told Trump I liked him. It was…uh…just business, right?”
Bartender: “You guys are really helping the public trust, huh? Guess that’s why they call it legacy media—just like legacy whiskey… the older it gets, the more it tastes like regret.”
LA Times into Number 2 spot
What about 3 tech guys giving $$$$$$ for 🍊💩 Coronation?
NYT’s What Next rountable summit moderated by Haberman.

Can we give Rupert Murdoch a Hall of Fame entry for Propagandist of the Century?
As for @cnn.com,
https://bsky.app/profile/heartlesscreatures.bsky.social/post/3lcus7pnnfs2q
Journalists are stuck..
Harry Litman/attorney worked for LA Times and resigned Dec 6 when they wouldn't endorse
But this will be a very long list.
We gotta do something
Surprised they had regular shows were on with holiday
I can't watch CNN.
My last straw was the ABC settlement.
MacTavish is my dog's name. He is a Labrador, possibly Canadian. No, Scottish!
I am an American in disguise.

Question (rhetorical)...
What's NEXT or is that, Who's next?!
They all rose to power thanks to the middle class but now they are screwing all of us by doing what the Nazis did, giving Trump more power instead of standing their ground.
That tension will come to a head. @joyannreid.bsky.social
They obeyed in advance for their OWN good not the good of they country they live in.
Two of the best!!!
Only money moves the needle with these rapacious oligarchs.
They just went straight back to lying, and their viewers went back to believing.
Seriously go back to 2021 vs now. WTF happened to MSM? That’s a good topic for an investigative journalist to tackle, if we have any left.
They have now taken themselves from a highly regarded magazine to being a cheap rag at the grocery store checkout line. I bet Elon gave them money to do this, which a douche like him would do.
The people just see that he’s MAN OF THE YEAR or whatever and assume it’s a good thing.
Fuck that shit. Come back here motherfucker. Time to pull the rope.
Also, the mainstream media gets more clicks and reads from a controversial subject. That's one of the reasons they promoted TFG so much before 2016. Whether you liked him or hated him, you read the stories, and they profited.
There are plenty of windows in the US, and none of them are safe because trump can take everything they have just by having them arrested for corruption and nationalize their assets.
She's another reason I stopped watching CNN. She's a Trump acolyte masquerading as a journalist. Weak supplicant.
I would feel invincible if that continued to happen to me as well.
Good times make for soft people; weak figures pretending to be strong men have taken advantage of it.
Time for the hard & painful part. Or, just learn to get comfy in a fascist state.
the public would have been 'treated' to item by item
of Fox's lies and misrepresentations. Dominion had a very strong case.
Guest should refused to be interviewed by Mika. Nepo baby not worth 5 million 😠
I love Pablo! Give Willie and Jonathan the show.
As the way Walter Cronkite said every evening for 30 years. "And that's the way it is".
They also read local newspapers. Newspapers separated sections and clearly labeled OpEds.
Now, the internet is a moshpit of articles that most people can't differentiate between true/false or fact/opinion
Telling hard mean thru the about the king is no longer legal.
How can it be read any other way?
1: Newspapers fail to grasp the importance of the internet - 2008
2: TV fails to grasp the importance of viewers below the age of 65 - 2000
3: News Magazines fail to grasp being relevant - 2005
4: Cable TV News misses the fact the Fairness Doctrine is dead - 2016
Revenge or worthwhile RESULTS?
To HELP or hurt people?
This would be a good starting point. I agree 100% w your assessments.
To me this is a reintroduction of the pecking order.
Conservative white men didn’t like competing with women or poc. They realized they shined brighter with the help of oppression.
Stripping women’s rights away and coming for civil rights next.
Subservient.
To once again establish white nationalism which is racism.
Fear hatred and greed win the day.

6. Elon Musk purchasing X/Twitter at the height of it's "useful" lifespan (18 year old legacy media) and endorses Trump
7. Zuckerberg endorses Trump (13 year old legacy media)
8. Bezos endorses Trump (30 year old legacy media outlet)
Enshitification
Of the MEDIA OUTLETS
in USA
ALWAYS KNEW
FOX WAS SHYTE
But, it seems like the last 4 years with Biden, Repugs STILL monopolized the speakers
2. The 50 year war by fascists to discredit legit media.
3. The death of local newspapers and independent news stations & news outlets owned by mega-conglomerates.
4. Social media and the internet.
5. Terrorist threats/attacks upon journalists.
Seriously, all I heard was "trial this", "case that", "he's screwed", etc., for years, and *nothing* has come of it other than THIRTY FOUR felony charges that ultimately meant *NOTHING* in the grand scheme of things.
The only real truth will be on social media platforms that aren't controlled by Trump sycophants and corporate suck-ups.
6. NYT harping on Biden's age, then ignoring Trump's obvious mental decline.
election, which is historically how fascists have usually taken power.
I suspect Joe & Mika's conduct will finish them, but it won't be clear until spring.
WTF is going on in journalism?!!

Just one day- no gas, groceries, cars, coffee, clothes, you get the idea.
#Jan20Boycott
Here are some ideas
https://bit.ly/4iyDZEW
No idea
Too pessimistic?
Don't spend money at Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Chic-Fil-A. Where else?
I don't like the shopping experience at Winco but it's employee-owned and I want to support that.
Move bank accounts to a B Corp.

I also agree that ABC deserves to be on the top of the ignominious list. A judge wrote traitor is an adjudicated tapust in his decision. So weak and deplorable to have facts and yet bow to traitor.
Bezos is an equivalent to United Healthcare - am working on a way around both.
As much as possible, shop & buy local. Be aware of whom you enrich - they could be using your money for your enemies.
Or never watched it.
He repeatedly called it “fake news” and now we are left with…..fake news.
I want off this ride
Media's supposed to be the ones holding lawmakers' feet to the fire & report accurate and factual information.
2. Time Magazine suck-up.
4. LA Times suck-up.
A reputation he had forged.
On day, a tyrant
Bade him be silent,
So he gave him Liberty's torch.
It’s never wrong to do the right thing.
A scandal like that would have destroyed a real news outlet.
People watch Fox because they enjoy being lied to. It's all about grievance, resentment, and winning.
And don't forget the bigotry and sexism with FNC. That plays a huge part.
Chuck Todd/ Kristin Welker.
No Tim Russert is to be found.
Don't single source your news -- even from Alison.
People need to think for themselves and evaluate their sources. You can't do that with one source.
Check this out and please, tell me how to not "single source the news" when they ALL read from the same script that their masters provide them

CNN is dead to me.
Best in the business. I hope they can continue.
I'll watch on a day where good, extended legal analysis is needed -- as long as Mark Elias and others aren't on Deadline, All In, Last Word, etc. I don't watch him much anymore.
I actually watched Joy blame Biden for Gaza.
I stopped watching MSNBC right then.
I watched the campaign & election on cspan.
It’s always nice to hear someone else’s perspective on things, you never know what you can learn from it.
But I thought she was better than that.
To see how Putin played the U.S., google “Wendi Deng Ivanka”, “Deutsche Bank Kennedy”, “NRA Russia”, and “Trump Ivana Putin”.
It was honestly far more than I thought they had up their sleeves.
I'm impressed.
They played the Dems like a harp from hell.
Kamala gives detailed plans. Americans sleep.
Kamala = skewered
NBC News: President Trump, do you have a fully developed plan (to fix ACA)?
Trump: I don't have a plan, I have concepts of a plan.
America: He's our guy.
The crap that’s been on that rag lately has been next level. It used to be a decent paper.
Billionaires buy traditional, reliable legacy news sources.
Traditional, reliable legacy news sources skew the news towards the right.
Billionaires support and bend the knee to Trump.
Coincidence?
Don’t know them. Don’t watch them. Don’t trust them.
The POS is a fucking rapist and deserves to get his 🍄🟫 ✂️ but that’s another story
NYT minimizing genocide.
One solution I've considered is credentialing/certifying trained (aka, "real") journalists. Credentials can be awarded or even revoked depending on meeting certain credibility and accuracy standards. ...
I FOUND MY VILLAGE!!!
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Where were you people?!?! It's like X had a suppression logic that prevented us from uniting & supporting each other! 🤔
29% voted for Harris
30% voted for Trump
31% did not vote
It's the 31% that did Harris in. She ran a bad campaign that focused too much on flipping "light Republicans" who were never going to flip and basically nothing on finding new voters.
👊💙🇺🇸
I think many Americans don’t understand the art of politics - it simply is not “my way or the highway!” It’s a step at a time.
But I would rank Bezo's capitulation above Joe's influence.
1. ABC
2. Bezos
3. Joe S.
4. CNN
5. Fox
I'd lose my few remaining shreds of faith in humanity.
Don’t worry about LO. 👍🏻💪🏻
Jeff’s made a mess of the #freePress #BoycottAmazon
#ABC News is an oxymoron
This is all straight out of this playbook..

Naw.
