And that’s of course no surprise, given that has stated explicitly that’s what he is now demanding from the editorial pages.
Their latest hit piece on Mamdani is so full of lies and slurs that it might have been dashed off on the back of an envelope by Bezos during a many hundred dollar lunch.
Bezos is doing his best to wreck the paper, offering buyouts to some of the most distinguished members of its news staff and opinion contributors. We can hardly wait to see who he puts in their places.
Last week Trump became the first American president to issue an endorsement and command for political violence. The corporate media is terrified of Trump and immediately fell in line, ignoring or downplaying or sane washing his treasonous, psychotic rhetoric.
Dan Froomkin at presswatchers.com exposes the corporate media’s complicity and the few outlets that wouldn’t play ball.
who justifiably called the police on her.
It’s almost always the right wing who engage in these tactics, and the Democrats had better grow a spin and remind America of that fact.
As Steve Schmidt points out, NBC–owned of course, by corporate behemoth Comcast–has surrendered whatever remained of his reputation and integrity by firing Matthew Dowd, who dared on MSNBC to give a realistic appraisal of who Charlie Kirk really was. Their cover up has made Comcast and NBC active participants in America’s advancing fascism. NBC dared to issue a statement condemning violence in America–as if it were not whitewashing one of the most toxic catalysts for violence in America.
This is yet another example of why youtube channels run by citizen journalists are leaving corporate media in the dust.
Remember that Hitler insisted that he was a peace keeper. It was everyone else who wanted war. Similarly, MAGA keeps insisting that they’r not the depraved, seditious movement that they are. The game is very familiar.
Fox’s Brian Kilmeade just advocated that homeless, mentally ill people be euthanized. He hasn’t been fired. Where are the Democrats? Why are they not calling out this indecency?
The city is demanding an annual income of at least $70,00 per year to qualify for a new “affordable” housing opportunity in Brooklyn.
Other “affordable housing” buildings are demanding minimum incomes of over $100,000 yearly. And applicants are permitted to earn over $200,000 a year and still qualify.
Affordable housing for the lowest rungs of the one percent–that is overwhelmingly what DeBlasio’ and Adams’ housing scam has wrought in Manhattan. And it has come at the expense of now-demolished low-rise housing that was much more accessible.
So Kirk was “practicing politics the right way?” Klein thinks so, or so he tells us in The New York Times. By provoking hatred and violence? By racist, misogynist, anti-Semitic and homophobic smears? By taking an active role in funding and disseminating Trump’s Big Lie? And by personally profiting from it all?
So Klein wants the left to emulate Kirk’s alleged “moxie and fearlessness”?
Too much proximity to the oligarchs spinning the “Abundance” hoax seems to be making Klein a patsy. Recently, a reviewer, whose name escapes me, wondered if Klein was simply being naive when he fell for the real estate developers’ jeremiads about zoning restraints and regulation. I don’t know, but again, there was nothing admirable about Kirk. The encomiums published about him, most definitely including Klein’s, are deplorable, and it is too bad that Klein isn’t brave enough to step away from the tidal wave of disinformation. He makes a very dangerous false equivalency between the left objecting to Klein’s views at the same time it extends condolences, and the right’s demand that all liberal thought and expression be silenced.
Klein knows that neither the Times or any other corporate outlet has very much tolerance for truly progressive thought or opinion and he has seemingly curated his editorial stance to suit, falling in line with the way the big, rich boys want to frame things.
And Watters and Ingraham ARE going to be fired for trying to incite violence, aren’t they?
Will Trump and his shock troops now muffle all MAGA families who train their children in marksmanship from their earliest years?
showing his political opponents being assaulted?
