politico wants trump to win and wants to help him rule us like a king.

This is far-right propaganda masquerading as journalism. Biden is an 82-year-old retiree who has no formal role in the Democratic Party. Meanwhile, the current president's brain continues to glitch over the word "groceries."

As I've said before, which candidates get "shortlisted" and which candidates aren't treated as serious candidates is one of the most powerful tools The Powers That Be use to shape the narrative. No one knows who Ro is, but he does the work of his Silicon Valley benefactors so he gets promoted

No. They don't care about clicks or ratings. If they wanted clicks, they would not have ignored Trump's connections to Jeffrey Epstein and numerous other pedophiles. That would get clicks! They just like him and think he's a good President and didn't like Biden and thought he was a bad President

I don't think its a/b good or bad policy-wise, it's about good or bad for them as journalists. Biden White House didn't leak as much and held fewer press conferences and the press corps took it personally because it made them feel less special.

Media's coverage of Biden vs. Trump is much easier to explain when you realize this point. It's not a huge conspiracy.

Well, playing up the Epstein connection and the other really vile shit would take him down and then they've killed the goose that lays the golden egg. This is the rare case of GOP sympathizers conserving a resource.

That's the kind of clickbait trash 45 is good for

The money they're after is in tax cuts and wage suppression

publiusmaximus.bsky.social•12 hours ago

It not about the money.
It's about the white supremacy and patriarchy.

princeofdorne.bsky.social•12 hours ago

It's all of them

It would be so much easier if these people were in it for the money, instead of being ideologues. If they were venal capitalists we could buy them off!

whoopsexcuseme.bsky.social•14 hours ago

yep, and its not so much clicks as laziness. part of the reason they like trump and think he's good is that they are lazy and bad at their jobs and his admin makes getting access for stories easy and biden didnt like them and made getting access for stories harder.

Very close relationship with Thiel as well.

"One of his sons works as the chief of staff to Peter Thiel, the conservative-libertarian tech billionaire turned MAGA kingmaker"

Too many libs have contempt for the term “corporate media,” but who owns the media is a real goddamn issue.

Same with the Onion getting a free update every day with more dumb shit from this presidency. Harris was boring, Trump gets them clicks

mtsw.bsky.social•12 hours ago

i do not think the editors and writers of The Onion like Trump and want him to win, fwiw

risenemmeryn.bsky.social•12 hours ago

I feel like they’ve gotten exceptionally lazy/not funny with their satire these past few months -

but I find solace in you thinking that /positive

Beto was happy to oblige.

every day this phrase is underlined, bolded, highlighted, surrounded by arrows and stars, as msm bends over backwards to legitimize demented grandpa in chief

Man they are really fucking telling on themselves with this Biden stuff

tpa1960.bsky.social•14 hours ago

They don't need to duck anything. If the question is asked, the response is, "We of course care about the health of the former president. But he is not the president. Next question please."

foxfirefey.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Explicitly so!

doctoracularf.bsky.social•14 hours ago

"Litmus Test" is such a weird phrase that the media loves. Like if you don't say Biden has dementia it's revealed that you're The Thing

samaelmorningstar.bsky.social•9 hours ago

Wow this is just amazing to see Politico just lose its fucking mind here. Bro this isn't a concern for Democrats at all in 2028 the fuck are they talking about here ?

nolanonymous.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Exactly. The legacy media are making their money off clicks. A boring president doing their job effectively and efficiently without planes falling out of the sky and people being disappeared off the streets, hurts THEIR business model.
