Does it not occur to folks that using “DOGE” in the media, talking about it like it is a real department, and not something completely made up and illegitimate, gives it power and legitimacy? 🙄

They want it to be pronounced like d-owe-j (but smoothly — the dashes are just separating letter sounds), but I prefer ‘dodge’ if I must use something close to the spelling. I generally do not call it by name, though. It’s just ‘Elon’s dumpster fire’ or similar.
I feel like the brains of much of the mainstream media have been out the door for quite a long time, and this is just one of the ways that exemplifies it. Also, the fact that they are not constantly talking about how fragrantly illegal this is. WTAF
I’ve been saying this about Trump since 2015. If we stopped acknowledging him he would’ve went away. But the news is nothing more than corporate profits now…so what ever keeps people pissed is what sells.
Clearly what is happening today is not journalism. Not covering a story doesn’t mean it’s swept under the rug, especially when it’s not news. Providing coverage for a malignant narcissist doesn’t help much either. Continuously feeding BS and lies to an audience is NOT journalism, that’s FOX and OAN
I’m not even myself saying not to cover it. I’m saying to call it what it is - a coup - instead of giving it the made up name made up to make it look like something else.
In this situation it is a real department. The DOGE people have the resources and authority to do things, even if the source of those are illegal and stupid as shit.
I know…it’s mind boggling and I bet if this where Democrats doing this…the MSM would be repeating that fact constantly…Trump in Oval Office acting like sh!t happening is normal! The media is covering it like it is…sickening‼️
No it doesn't. The media does not give one fucking iota about being correct. They like this shit and I wouldn't be surprised if they want fascism to be the style of government we have.
They could be pointing out that all this shit is wrong but they're couching it as if things are copacetic.
When the question "does it not occur" ever comes up when talking about a group of people, the answer in my experience is "yes, it occurs." The media is complicit in this, largely because they are owned by the people funding it, and by Elons peers.

Not using the name won't solve anything.
QUIT GIVING IT LEGITIMACY.
