The United States is experiencing a hostile takeover by criminals. If you’re in the media and you’re not depicting it as an extinction-level event for our democracy, you’re failing at your job.

Absolutely.
This is a stealth Coup.
Shitler is systematically disabling and dismantling the American Constitution, democratic structures, and processes. This is a war on Freedom, Liberty, and Democracy.
I don't expect the general public/institutions/media to absorb & react to events as fast as those like myself who've been 'terminally online' forever. But c'mon, we're 2 months into unprecedented destruction of our 250 year old US democracy. The time for alarm by media is NOW. Not next week, now.
Yes, that’s why I’ve been enjoying listening to The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell running straight into the fire every night with the water hose of truth 🙌
I really think the problem in media right now is that many of the people with sinecures and national bylines on politics; is that they are too stupid, to vacuous, or simply too wedded to the power structures in place to care.
Russian mafia style through and through. A slow but steady self-coup.
Media is all owned by billionaires and promotes their agenda, which is what we see playing out. They don’t care what happens, they’ll be fine either way.
MSM has abdicated its role as the 4th estate.
I may have missed this but on your website, do you have a list of complicit media ? And maybe a list of ones who are really doing a great job of uncovering this chaos?
I’ve written about both the good and the bad at various times. Most of major media has failed, including WaPo, which has gone to the dark side. I admire the Guardian, ProPublica and The New Republic. AP is doing pretty well under difficult circumstances. Perhaps I should compile lists.
Where almost all MSM has moved to “opinion” masquerading as news (left and right), Reuters is still reporting facts. AP too. PBS to a degree. The Guardian. BBC. The Contrarian. New small independents are popping up to fill the gaps abandoned by NYT, WaPo, NPR, LAT, MSNBC, CNN. CNN Europe still ok.
also failing at their lives. Do you think Trump will stop at any arbitrary barrier? his actions indicate that only violence is his execution of power. If he cannot himself enact violence then he will easily be deposed. Once people stop accepting his orders to commit violence, he is powerless.

I would think both columns on the list would evolve over time.
And I imagine that new media will emerge that doesn't even exist now. Perhaps something like a pro-democracy version of the Bari Weiss "Free Press"
thanks!
They have not been doing their job for a long long time!!
what if the media is in on it?
“Trump is Hitler with a spray tan” or
“Trump got peed on in Moscow by 12 year old girls”
or
“Trump and Musk are trying to make babies in the back of that Cyber Truck”
