Trump cutting off access to the Press is just the beginning. We warned them, but they clearly didn’t listen. And in the end, the American people will pay the price for it. Lies and fake news manufactured by the White House, looks to become the norm.

Yes, this is exactly how it was in the old communist regimes-the media was/is production of the government.This is why the Russisn TASS and the Trumpian FOX post the same news.This is a classic totalitarian move.I just hate so much seeing the same I ran away from happening here!
Many if not most Republicans
don’t know what they want,
don’t know what they voted
for, very simply don’t know. They’re under-educated and over-propagandized victims
of decades of right wingding
media fear mongering.
Unfortunately the ones that have been kicked out are so discredited due to kissing the ring and parrotting the Trump narrative from the inside it will be difficult for people to take them seriously if they suddenly become critics.

This is what happens when the fourth estate is not independent and it's ran by rich oligarchs who are only concerned with the amount of money that they're getting and not with the truth; When an agency ran by rupert murdoch, who creates sensationalistic stories for ratings is allowed to flourish.
Lies from the press to make excuses for or cover for trump's fascism has been the norm for quite some time now. Nothing about the press has changed since 2016 except the fact that no one believes a damn thing the MSM prints or broadcasts anymore.
And this is the worst part: if you think MAGA feels empowered now by citing every quack source and right-wing publication as “evidence” of their deranged theories?
Now they will be able to cite the White House’s own website. Good times.
So has Trump signed the EO that ALL Federal/DoD facilities will ONLY broadcast Faux News, yet? Has Trump signed the EO that removes broadcast rights to MSM? Askin' for a friend?
So many online and media companies have opted to be appeasers. We NEED those institutions to guide and inform us, and they've abandoned us in a futile quest for self-protection.
Yeah, they kissed the ring, and got nothing for it and lost their viewers and readers. I’d be firing whoever came up with that obviously flawed strategy. I mean they reported for years that kissing up to him would get people stabbed in the back, and then did it themselves.
Wolfie, maybe some are too young and we’re never taught civics…and no matter what ‘they’ said out loud and in Project 2025, people didn’t believe it could happen in America.
They weren’t paying attention as the guardrails crumbled.
MSNBC just all but threw in the towel as they were one of the good channels till recently. I haven't forgiven Morning Joe Scarborough for kowtowing to ConOLD and kissing the ring!
They are lying the price. They protected Trump, did not report on Biden’s successes and made him out to be a senile old man, all to have sensational news to report.
It’s the public that buy newspapers, it’s the public that sit through ads to watch a news feed. It’s the public who are the consumers. If you cater to the oligarchs then you’re not in the news business, you’re in the propaganda business.
Mainstream media should immediately stop covering anything he says live. There are resources to minimize his bullshit. There will be no new viewers of the right wing bullshit factories masquerading as news agencies. They will be howling into the wind.
Canadian media needs to get their shit together and start actually reporting “news” , both of our countries need the fucking real truth to be heard ! 🤬🤬 - Global , CBC - anyone ???
America's major media should boycott the White House daily briefs and report what is going on using their sources and their common sense. Do it so the phony media representatives ask their witless questions and answers are NOT reported by legitimate media
Thank you, for providing & defending honest and factual journalism. I do subscribe to your non paid services & wish I could afford to support you financially, but I am already contributing to other independent journalists, but we must support independent journalism for the truth. Please everyone 🙏
The media is filled with cowards and hacks. The media must speak the truth and call out wrongs and injustice no matter what. They must not bow down to anyone nor any political party. Our democracy and institutions must remain strong and be responsible and prudent representatives of all the people.
"THE PRESS" doesn't care, THE PRESS is merely one branch of huge corporations who care far more about profits than acting as watchdogs on behalf of the people. Any whining to the contrary is strictly performative.
There's so much news available through other sources now, that I'm sure anyone who wants to know what's really happening will be able to find it. Those who just want to stay in their safe silos will continue to do so.
We, the people, must rise courageously and stand against the constitutional crisis that endangers our supreme law. Sign now to unite for justice and democracy!
Democrats have been demonized for many years. The pejoratives Demorat and Libtard started back with Rush Limbaugh and ended up in churches. Voting Republican is connected with being a Christian in the Red states. A lot of self-righteousness and lack of introspection.
I did the same with NPR. Their attempts to ingratiate themselves to the Trump regime was just pathetic, and I sincerely hope that they do better having seen the it didn’t work, rather than doubling down on it.
Have you found a replacement? I’m trying to curate a Substack list of accounts to recreate NYTimes’ coverage and feel but haven’t been successful. Same thing with BlueSky.
I haven’t really yet. There’s a real journalism gap with the loss of a lot of smaller news outlets over the last few decades. BlueSky’s individual and independent journalists seems to be the next best thing.
I have them sitting in the timeout corner. Some of their correspondents are authentic (Michel Martin, Steve Inskeep) in how they treat politicians. But their editors on the whole are being disingenuous toward full reporting. It’ll be interesting to see how they thread the needle.
I feel likewise. If they do better I’ll renew my support for them, but I need to see their recommitment to reporting the truth accurately as they can before I do that.
I never doubted that it would happen. We are being isolated. He will do all he can to burn it all down so he can get his revenge. He will steal every penny then sell the rest to putin, etc.
Media should stop televising the WH shitshow. The briefings are wholly fascist propaganda. You would think after years of this bs, media organizations would stop looking like empty-headed, lemmings. Any journalist sitting in the briefing room, pretending like it’s real, needs to pursue other work.
Yep. It’s one of the first things dictators do….control the narrative. However, Trump is just a puppet, controlled by Musk, Miller, Bannon and probably Putin.
Scott, yes, they were warned, but please dont speak from a soap box without providing some ideas for a solution! He must be stopped by any means possible! We need great minds to counter the onslaught of deception heading our way!
Messaging is a huge problem now, as billionaires control the government and media. Is there a way to use popular influencers on YouTube to have a serious group chat with AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and Robert Garcia about the richest man in the world, to reach people?

touche to the talking toupee
They are STILL simply chasing the dollar and couldn’t give a shit about impartial legitimate news.
They just want to be seen and the only way to do that is to join the trump bullshit train.

Until GOP leadership says enough is enough, this is going to continue. We have to call these men and demand that they take action.
We DID see this trainwreck coming

And, mainstream media MSM normalized him.

That's the least of our worries now...

I mean, for the average American.
We all know how the rich benefit.
All I read about is how the American people are losing out in this presidency. Money and freedoms gone.
It gives them someone to blame for their own failures.
Can't get a date? It's not that you're a misogynist. It's that women have been infected with feminism and have this belief that they're somehow equal.
In short, their fear is that someone they consider inferior is being treated as an equal.
Hold on to your hats; we still have more plummet to plummet.
The industry chose the latter and I knew then we were socially hosed.
Our social fabric doesn’t tolerate liars. Thus, they opened the door to devolution when they chose wrong.
If $780+ million doesn’t stop
Fox News, doesn’t stop Fox News from being on every military Base, don’t know what will.
