has a single mainstream journalist acknowledged that it was a massive media failure to treat project 2025 as a closed issue just bc trump lied a couple of times about not supporting it

I am begging everyone in media, except the comedy shows, to not trust the man in a ski mask threatening you with a knife, when he says this is not a robbery.
No because their bosses wanted a 2nd Trump admin with its no regulation of mergers. And they have mortgages, kids in college, a nice DC/NYC life style.
The days of courageous editors defending hard hitting reporters is over.
Been saying this myself. Not only did they credulously repeat his denials that any sentiment being knew were lies, but they ripped Democrats and anyone who told the truth. Shameful and unprofessional.
Failure? I'd say it went right according to plan. They've been openly salivating for Trump 2.0 because of the accompanying ratings boost they had during 1.0.
I think they ran a lot of explainers of what it was, but then didn’t know what to do after Trump’s denials, or didn’t want to?
I don’t know if they’re structurally incapable of saying “this is or is not likely,” because they should’ve been able to do reported pieces on it.
At some point people will acknowledge that they have lied and continue to lie, intentionally and without recourse, because they have no shame. Calling them liars is meaningless. Calling out the lies is meaningless. You have to act with this pretext before anything meaningful will happen.
Most of the press is complicit with Trump’s coup. I used to subscribe to the New York Times, The WaPo, and The LA Times. I cancelled them all. They are all responsible for ragging at everything Biden did, calling him old, and sanewashing Trump.
even when i was sure he was going to lose (hey we're all naive about something) it was pretty obvious that he was lying? because he's been doing that very publicly for at least a decade now?
If there's one thing trump was right about, it's that the press is our enemy. What he's wrong about is why. Its not because they're biased against conservatives but because it's biased towards them

irredeemable
“He said the piss on your leg is rain. Nothing more to see or say about this.”
Receipts would help ensure some accountability

And we've had four or five since then who deserved it.

It's not even ignorance. They're morally bankrupt and legitimately evil people who welcomed fascism to our country because they want more money
