Amidst the press appeasement, there's one event that tells all you need to know about what Trump is -

This is Orwellian

“Failure of courage” seems to grossly misunderstand their mission statement. They are part of the coup at this point. They’re partners in crime.

Not going to boycott MSNBC news. Ari Melber, Rachel Maddow, Ali Velshi and Lawrence O’Donnel are doing a great job.

We need them. We need to support them.

surebird.bsky.social•19 days ago

Agree with you. I don’t listen to any of these stations but will these 4 and Joy Reid. They aren’t backing down. Other than these people I’ll listen to PBS

Excellent coverage. Thank you! Donating now!

Amerika still has a "free press?" not with the "mainstream" or spineless lickspittle and pandering ABCBSCNNBCMSNBC and those 'other' freaks at FauxNews ...

Yep..

Those media corporations are controlled by wealthy people who dictate what they can't do.

zootsuitchuco.bsky.social•20 days ago

Fascists love propaganda and American media, that LOVES chaos, are idling. It was never a liberal media...it's always been a Slave Masters mouthpiece.

How can the citizens of the wealthiest country on earth be so fucking stupid? Take your future back now!

I wonder how much money Amy receives from USAID.

Amy you are not the same reporter as you were before the Keystone Pipeline protests.

thebirdsnest.bsky.social•19 days ago

Do you want to give us some background? Maybe a link to the argument you’re trying to make.

billieholiday.bsky.social•19 days ago

You have to be a consumate consumer of DN! for two or more decades to understand my comment. Think Greenwald and Hedges.

chilangolandia.bsky.social•20 days ago

That ship has sailed. Legacy media is a BIG part of why we have that Pres. Let’s be honest, it’s not that they’re afraid of him, it’s that many (not all) agree w/him on the issues. Anyone who’s payed attention to the NYT, CNN, ABC, especially over the last couple of years, saw the radical shift.

Which is why Democracy Now and other independent news sources are so vitally important! Please support them!!

I seriously doubt that the media can exert any practical influence over what Trump does. He’s ignoring the courts.

somhlth.bsky.social•20 days ago

"I seriously doubt that the media can exert any practical influence over what Trump does. "

No, but two decades of Fox News has proven that the media can exert influence on the public to 𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙤𝙬 what Trump does. The reverse could obviously also hold true, if there was a will to do so.

If we have to wait two decades America is likely to be lost

jameswaddell3rd.bsky.social•20 days ago

Correct, the corporate media is scared to lose money they only care about making money on the discourse , Les Moonves said as much out of his own mouth, remember?

mamaaliadeastra.bsky.social•20 days ago

it's not even simply a failure of courage, it is a lack of honor and integrity.
