For years, Trump and his allies have attacked democratic norms and institutions. The legacy media watched and did not take a side.
Now, Trump is threatening to attack the legacy media and they are wondering why so few are rushing to take a side.

'This is what he said, and this is what it means for you,' was typical.
Now, we don't even get the actual quotes. Just a "fair" spin. Because he could not possibly meant what he said. The implications would be dire!
Gotta maintain access.
Asking a talking head what their opinion is about the opinion of someone else is not journalism.
CNN has stationed young women at MaL for weeks. Why? 🤔
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
—Martin Niemöller
They normalized a lying, raging, unstable monster.
They have lost all credibility & honor with millions of us.
They are screwed & they deserve it.
The so-called press likely think they're safe now. Wrong. Cheetolini will want more and more and more from them. If they don't deliver, he'll fuck them over royally. Narcissists are never satisfied. A lesson they'll soon learn.
It would seem Trump with his unbelievable, fantastical choices for such important governing jobs is giving the middle finger to Americans who think it takes something special to rule! He is showing you literally ANYONE can do the job
with a dictator in charge!
They seem oblivious completely.
Journalism ethics—where we discussed the need for journalists to police themselves in order to preserve the profession’s credibility—was required to graduate.
Apparently, not everyone got the same education.
Then we flipped the House:

It'd be wiser to use the notoriety they still possess to see that there is.
What a Republican Toady Russert was! He even admitted that the RNC gave him talking points to attack Democrats with.
And do not forget when that stenographer let THE DICK appear on Press The Meat and lie endlessly about Iraq. Oh and he beat the drums for Clinton's impeachment, too!
Mark…you listening????
I think I may have won some type of life prize
Let ALL his lies, depravity & threats to democracy slide, while meanwhile covering unimportant BS stories on front page like Hunter Biden, Obama’s tan suit or Hillary’s emails for weeks on end.
They reap what they sow.
And now they’re F-ed, as are we.
They’ve come to view Trump as a single member Neilson Family, as if their entire existence depends on his endorsement….it’s pathetic.
I wonder who’s going to buy Tiktok
We the people make business flourish and we the people can bankrupt business
By normalizing it, they took Trump's side and that's why they are now officially dead.

Reminds of me of one of my earlier posts. ABC screwed things up for journalists:

In return Trump will go after them.
They should have fought harder to preserve their integrity & dignity instead.
2) News flash they have been coming for every single person mentioned above from the very beginning. The fact that it's taken you this long to figure this out is just plain sad.
When the Nazis came for the communists, I remained silent; I was not a communist.
When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist.
When they came for me, there was no-one left to speak out."
Bowing to the
Cult
I have zero faith / confidence in
1 The Courts
-the rich game the system & avoid accountability
2 The gov’t
- totally taken over by MAGA
3 The media
- Mainstream media sane-wash both Right & Left & hold no one accountable

these closet Nazis really
crave is old world 'respect'
the way peasants would
defer to the nobles without
question because they knew
the higher ups were not
merely their 'betters' but
had the swords and gold
to do as they wish...and so
it has been for 10,000 years.
The legacy media actually did take a side. They sided with the shiny object that will engender their cash flow.
They rushed, practically tripping over one another, to “obey in advance”.
As we are learning, in real time, DISINFORMATION is a very real danger to OUR personal wellbeing and that of the nation.
Speak OUT.
DO NOT OBEY.
Any workforce in such circumstances usually splits into factions: those willing & able to fight openly, or subversives, or those who have no choice (or think they don’t), etc.
They aren’t all terrible people.
I did not speak out,
because I was not a Jew….
I believe we are at the
No one was left to speak out for the media part.
Fuck trad media
Meanwhile, whole legions of the legal professionals over the past decade have not only taken a side - they sided with Trump, against the Constitution.
You might want to read Matthew 7:3-5, Marc.
First they came for the socialists..
Not a coincidence.
However, if Trump attacks them as institutions, won't that have major implications for all media?
Clamping down controls on media must be opposed, for our sakes, not theirs.
It's a damaged bullhorn, but can we afford to discard any tool?
Donald is just a loser out for revenge.
They chose their side decades ago.

And, then they came for me, and there was no one left to protest.
Let the revolution begin
The Legacy Media straddled their fence of BothSidesism and Normalization of Pure Evil for so long, I had to to say "So Long".
No. They get NO help. They pissed the bed, they can f**king sleep in it
