Its no coincidence that legacy media is owned by people who will financially benefit from the disaster capital behind the rise of fascism. Just like Brexit just like Truss. Rinse and repeat
The billionaire-owned media industry has decided a long time ago that progressives are only legitimate when they are nice and polite, while conservatives and fascists are allowed to be angry.
Progressives have played along. Nobody fears them. No media fears them.
I strongly disagree with that article. Musk does not have the experience, knowledge, discipline, or intellect to be behind this. He's as much a puppet as Trump is.
There was a James Bond movie similar to what's happening. The villain created catastrophies to get the ratings. I always though we were rooting for 007 but I guess not.
We are already living under fascism. That transition happened on Jan 20. The question now is how bad it will get, and we collectively have the ability to decide that.
Everyone is so scared to rock the boat and suffer retribution or lose access. But once the levers of power are fully seized and secured what do they think happens to the 'free media'?
I’ve been saying this is a coup. It’s like the media doesn’t care Republicans don’t care and the Democrats don’t care that we are going down the path into fascism. Fortunately people like you, @georgetakei.bsky.social will be able leave the country while us paycheck to paycheck people suffer here.
Please repost on your Blue Sky, Facebook, Tictoc, Instagram pages. Copy and paste in comment sections of highly followed people. Do this a few hundred times. And ask everyone to do the same. And show up if you can!!! We need 3.5% of the population. Resist!!
Sleepwalking, my ass—they are sprinting into it, enabling it, fully complicit with every cowardly decision to bend the knee and not report the news fairly and impartiality. They are now bought and paid for, and we need to seek other sources that DO call out the corruption and illegal bullshit!
They wanted this. They literally spent nearly nine months raving about Biden's nonexistent physical and mental decline until Biden stepped down, and then they refused to go over Kamala's publicly available policies. They wanted Trump to win.
In addition to
drug-related prosecutions, the policy shall also be applied to cases involving non-drug capital
crimes by cartels, transnational criminal organizations, and aliens who traverse our borders and
remain in the United States without legal status.
They are more than sleepwalking into it. They are aiding and abetting the takeover of our democracy. They are participating in the takeover. The billionaire owners of legacy media are on the side of MAGA.
The Trump/Musk administration is a coup attempt. DOGE is a Trojan horse with no legitimate purpose. We must unite before their plan can succeed. Spread this message far and wide.
It is a coup. And this time I wanna see the traitor actually get arrested. Then have justice the way the CONSTITUTION says to have justice for a traitor. We all need to pressure the DOJ and I know they currently aren't exactly playing good cops at the moment but more and more pressure
At what point in the next few years is it decided that you can't have free elections due to interference from China/Canada/Martians and it'll be best if the current regime keep the country safe for a bit longer...
This 👇👇👇. Time to wake up. Change the narrative. Write to your MP and, where nominated, opposition candidates- needs to be many of us. Write to your local and national papers. Phone in on phone lines. Talk about it. Attend protest events. Get together locally - Green Party a good place. Other ideas?
They’re not even mentioning that Canada is seriously preparing for war. And what happens during war? Concentration camps on the mainland, not just in Guantanamo.
"Hitler is doing much for Germany, his unification of the Germans, his destruction of communism, ... his curbing of parliamentary government, so unsuited to the German character; his protection of the right of private property are all good", NYT review of the English edition of Mein Kampf, 1933.
Legacy is correct. Accurate, fair, and transparent do not apply anymore. We need to leave legacy media in the past and move forward with free and fair media.
I've been yelling this for weeks now - geez, c'mkn ppl, wake up. IT IS A COUP and it won't falter until the ppl of the US rise up and stake your claim to your country. It's your country, now go take it back.
They wanted this … when the magas take the NYT from its pathetic nepo- baby owner and it’s narcissists wrong ALL the time editor in chief and give it to Christophe Rufo maybe then they’ll have a though….
Doubt it though. They’ll just blame trans people and those uppity poors…
Sleepwalking us into? They are literally complicit in getting the reich into power, & have been supporting it for a Long time. I've blocked most of them because they're nothing but mouthpieces spewing propaganda for the fascist regime. Fuck Them.
It is a coup, but a piss poor one that is just letting the idiots get their hands full while the justice department gets their shit together. Might I recommend just enjoying some popcorn for a day or two. Extra butter.
At this point, I'd even take the benign language "Constitutional Crisis" used in a headline. News agencies are now motivated by profit, not duty. Seems like their are ran by their boards, not their journalists. Resisting fascism is too expensive, so it won't happen.
Legacy media is dead and citizen journalists must rise. Have your phone ready to stream. Let fascists get away with nothing. Publicize everything asap so good guys can render aid.
Make them exhaust themselves every battle. They get nothing ever. Nothing.
They are fully awake and know exactly what they are doing. They are wholly complicit. They brought us to this point by not telling the truth during the campaign.
The DOGE team worked for 4 weeks and only achieved 2.7% of their 2 Trillion spending cut goal. Yet on the side they have vacuuming up huge amounts of our private information into their search engines and AI.
Nothing was learned from the rise of WW2's main characters in Germany and Italy. The "liberal" media did nothing then, too. Worse than nothing, in some cases. They're only liberal as long as they profit from it.
Power to the people. Let us hope the USA isn't as complacent as Germany was in 1933. Population of Germany in 1933...67 million. Population USA today...335 million. People can win.
If the legacy media hasn't had the backbone to call trump's lies "lies", then how in the world can we expect them to acknowledge and proclaim the Musk/Trump coup??
They will have a smaller audience every day. It is no longer worth it to see the fearful censorship PLUS the commercials. This has to be true for 70 million people. Late night comedy is the go to news source at this point for "woke" ( meaning educated) liberals.
Mainstream media has always been the mouthpiece of the stage. Now that the state has turned fascist, and of course, mainstream media will also be fascist.
Yes, although I think they have made a choice rather than sleep walked. Political or economical?
This is what happens without any oversight or standards.
Very true, Carole played a pretty strong role in crushing the reemergent reformist left in the UK, along with many other media types. Now they panic about the fascism/right populism that filled the void, and cannot see the connection; Crush the left alternative, get the right alternative. #history
Ok, that’s more like what I was expecting. Thanks for clarifying. The treatment of Corbyn by the press was dreadful. He was, at times, naiive, but generally stood for the right things.
It was a world wide phenomenon, Corbyn crushed, Sanders pushed aside, Syriza crushed; left parties promoting very mildly reformist policies (not nearly enough for a commie like me!) we smeared out of existence by exactly the same talking heads who panic about the far right
Sir, I reckon you know that the Legacy Media is owned by the very same bazillionaire oligarchs who are orchestrating this coup d'etat. Of course they are not about to expose it.
Profits all they know. They treated trump with kid gloves in 2016. They enabled it just as much as anyone. We should have been informed & how to combat him.
Just came out today too that Rump is making all the reputable news agencies give up their permanent offices in the Pentagon to rotate news agencies. I'm sure that's exactly how it's going to work.
Legacy media is no longer relevant they are full on boot lickers for Oompa Loompa, support others like Delemore, Brian Taylor cohen, David pakmen and others
This is so accurate--and all the cowards are letting it happen. When we were kids, we ganged up on bullies to scare them into stopping. Why is no one stopping him?!

The evidence of what was happening was there all along. Americans did this to themselves.
Progressives have played along. Nobody fears them. No media fears them.
The billionaires won’t change.
All media should be not-for-profit.
It's considered to be the height of bad manners.
It is NOT cowardice.
It is NOT accidental.
The legacy media is owned and controlled by people who SUPPORT FASCISM. That's all there ever was to it.
People have been saying legacy media is dead for literally years. There is a way to beat legacy media.
Or concsiously walking?
Bought a country
Full package

Your last words should never be 'Well, shit. I didn't see that coming' if you've been actively obscuring that exact thing for others.
Now it's very much wide awake.
Anonymously.
Are we in the streets?
Are we on the phones?
Are we reaching out?
Are we doing everything we can?
We? No!
Be a long time and multiple apologies before I read nyt or wapo again
Your reputation & authority are TRASHED FOREVER.

…wait for it…
A Little Deuce Coup?

Doubt it though. They’ll just blame trans people and those uppity poors…

Make America a Democracy Again (MADA!) 🦅😊
LET'S FLOOD THE ZONE with their worthless faces!
This is what happens without any oversight or standards.
They wil ONLY stick their neck out when they are assured of a WIN/PROFIT!
Even in a fascist regime there will be a need for "Legacy media"... see "self preservation" above!!

Believe what you are told.
Somehow science fiction writers always get it right.
