They have. They're spending far more time on Hegseth's nomination. They're purposely stifling it. Nicolle Wallace spent a little more time on it but not as much as she would've in the past.
Media is owned by oligarchs. The goal is to keep the 99% fighting each other so they can move undetected. Beware the gaslighting and the propaganda. Beware the omissions in the news.
IT’S BIZARRE how little criticism TRUMP is getting … for these RIDICULOUS ideas he’s flaunting lately.
OR for his Cabinet nominees for some KEY positions …
Who are a joke.
Unqualified.
Questionable behavior.
Poor decision-making.
Patriotic - or idiotic?
At least we know that it is all brainwashing. We can also follow the money. We are in a new age of Robber Barons. Except this time there is no limit to the grifting and thievery. They will sell-out this entire country and go live the life, somewhere else!
Mainstream media has been whitewashing Trump and magats for 9 years now. They’re a main reason why we are in this shitty situation. They refuse to call out the BS
the media effectively ignored the truth about trump's:
dementia
2020 election lies
assaults on women
immigration lies
theft of national security docs & given security secrets to foreigners
lifelong criminal rap sheet
mismanagement of COVID
everything trump
Even here in Australia. Been no coverage. Not even from the government funded, non commercial network, ABC Australia.
And they're suppose to be neutral. In all things political.
The network owners have capitulated in advance. They are bowing down to the orange monster in hopes of favor and don’t give a fuck about the American people or democracy. We have been forsaken for the most corrupt admin in US history. MaGastan is a shithole country.
“The media” has cowered down, and kissed the ring. They’re scared of his empty threats of retribution, etc so they’re bending the knee, and licking that thang good 😊
#MSM and most journalists are so afraid of #AgolfShitler tweeting mean things about them & losing their cushy jobs that they just fall in line without being asked to.
Not sure but seems to mostly confirm what people who follow the news & don’t like Trump already knew. If they talk about it too much they’d have to dig further into why the report took so long to put out that Trump won the election before they could do anything about it. Pretty damned depressing.
Not entirely ignored (I've seen it through Ground News on MSNBC, CNN, Newsweek), but it did by far not make the splash it should have made. There are more sources talking about Trump's reaction than about key facts of the report.
If I had still any doubt about legacy media going to hell...
They will & it won't take long. These creatins have been planning this for 50 yrs. They will act swiftly to strip ppl of rights they have now. Criticism of the Convicted Felon & his criminal cabal will not be tolerated. All media will focus on him & will be expected to bow down to the new regime
Corporate media are all waiting with baited breath, for the installation of Trump, and his first major bill to be signed axing their taxes again, just like 2017. They won't pursue the Special Counsel report, because it might invalidate their preferred President.
Definitely ignoring or underplaying it. Some of them have directly said that “there is no new news in it.” They don’t know how to play it for clicks. It’s part of why we’re in the trouble we’re in.
To me it's pretty clear that the establishment aligned with the incoming presidency because the US cannot afford, in their judgement, not to move as one with the current world stage. Obviously IMHO and saying that doesn't mean I approve or support it.
Did you expect more?? They equated Jack Smith's report on tRump's treason with Weiss' report on Hunter Biden. I kid you not. They even spent more time on a Weiss' report. Another reason why legacy media is dead to me.
When Jack Smith unsealed his court filing against Trump on OCTOBER 2 BEFORE THE ELECTION the MSM chose to ignore that too. Proper coverage should have sunk the criminal.
The distraction of all the rapid-fire hearings for unqualified cabinet nominees is overshadowing the Jack Smith report. That, I’m sure, was Trump’s plan.
It is called capitulation, and the legacy media has given up the ghost on true journalism. Their CEO'S are dumpty campaign donors. They are toeing the line on what the boss wants versus what the truth is.
From what I’ve read, they keep pointing out all the points were basically already known from Jack Smith’s filings so the press is treating it all like “old news…nothing to see here.”
I think we should all be helping them out by keeping paper journals of everything that happens, any resistance, how it affects the country and how people feel about it. Personal histories like that are gold to historians.
I 💯 agree with you! I also think it will help our mental and emotional health to write things down and additionally, it's critically important that we don't become normalize and become accustomed to things done by the 2nd Inmate #P01135809 regime.
All the media is bowing down to Trump. They minimize whatever he does. Must of the media, both corporate and all right-wing media, are Republican owned and controlled. This is how fascists come into power
I wouldn’t expect anything different. All of Trump’s crimes are ignored. It’s infuriating. They should use the report as evidence that the 14th Am denies him the oath of office.
Because of means exactly nothing now. It’s too late. In five days a felon will be president. You’re allowed to do whatever you want as long as you win, is the lesson.
Best case, it means they're actually reading it and substantive reporting is on its way. Too often, something comes out and it's a race to put out thin but breathless reports based on summaries and highlights and get reaction. Folos based on a close read then seem "old news"...
I feel like They ignored it. Too little too late So we will need to find a way to do their job. For all the gullible voters about to feel thumpers wrath.
Buried just like all of Trumps crimes. He was never in danger. The richest man in the world knew he would win for a reason. All the Tech-bros and Christian Nationalists knew. America has been bamboozled.
We set ourselves on this path when we didn't regulate the internet--because foolish people didn't think what happened on the internet could end up having huge impacts offline.
I'd say we set ourselves up when we watched Reagan's policies for the rich turn millionaires into Billionaires within 20 years. That's how SCOTUS was bought by the elite. It's the greed that drives the GOP. The internet was just another tool they used like MSM.
It's how a immigrant with $1 billion was able to use Reagans trickle down, stock buybacks and Capital gains taxes to turn that into $429 Billion in just 22 years becoming the richest human in history.
Lots did like the evil Tech-bros like Zuckerberg and Thiel, but many come from old money like the Koch family and The Waltons. Even Musk makes most of his money from Starlink and Tesla not X. They all make their real money through legal tax shelters that Reagan created in the 80s.
They glommed onto it for the initial ratings, then promptly filed it under "Doesn't Matter Anymore". As probably directed by studio execs and higher-ups.
And then adopted the feeble logic of, "It really doesn't matter anymore. So we're moving on with President Trump."
MAGA cult takeover of liberal media has already begun. ABC screwed every other news organization with their settlement. He will now rinse and repeat as needed. 15 million and putting the fear of God into all liberal media was a terrific start.Wonder what debacle awaits us over the next 8 or more yrs

I still don't understand why every darn msm channel completely ignored the release of the epstein court documents
dementia
2020 election lies
assaults on women
immigration lies
theft of national security docs & given security secrets to foreigners
lifelong criminal rap sheet
mismanagement of COVID
everything trump
why would they carry smith's report now?
He makes them money. Gets them plenty of likes.
That’s a Hard No for me.
And they're suppose to be neutral. In all things political.
Putin has defeated America and we are under occupation.
If I had still any doubt about legacy media going to hell...

Time for people to take this shit seriously.
79 million showed up to vote for him knowing he’s a child predator, rapist, misogynist, tax cheat and all around horrible human being.
They know and they don’t care that he tried to overthrow the govt
prioritizing profits above any positive virtue
corporatocracy......it's what plans crave
I’m an old guy, but I will fight physically if need be, to rid ourselves of these incels, traitors, insurrectionists.
Off puts the narrative
Too late
zero effect.
tRUmplfuck gets off with ZERO accountability AGAIN
The American Justice Department is a JOKE.
“The Report! Omg!! We’ve waited for this FOREVER!!”
*one hour later
“Look! Pete Headsh!t!!”
ignore the other side completly
Is no one apparently cares about fighting for the truth any more.
Or standing up to a bully.
The problem with a bully is that if he gets your lunch money today, tomorrow he takes your sneakers.
See the pattern?
They’ve already conceded and are now obeying without being told
And in all honesty, it’s a dead story to them. There is no follow-up to it or a path forward. Why report on it after that?
Sad to see it happen
They are white washing it.
Makes it easier to complete our destruction.
They have been working on it for years and everything is now in place.

In 50 years, it will be nice to compare how ruzzia and USA became fascist dictatorships and who helped it becoming so.
I don't think we can be certain that any of the things we have saved on the internet or technology will last what is coming.
Prepare for the worst, hope (and fight) for the best.
Worst case, well...
I wonder, what were they told?
It was clear several monopolies were forming online over a decade ago--but Congress did nothing to stop it.
They glommed onto it for the initial ratings, then promptly filed it under "Doesn't Matter Anymore". As probably directed by studio execs and higher-ups.
And then adopted the feeble logic of, "It really doesn't matter anymore. So we're moving on with President Trump."
poems will be written and songs will be sung by our ancestors to keep the egg price memory alive
MAGA floods the news with distractions.
Anyway we knew he was a criminal for many reasons and the cult still voted for his fascism.
