Trump’s voice is one part spittle, one part phlegm, and one part gravel. How can people stand to listen to it? The minute I hear the endless lies spoken in that noxious timbre I mute.
Trumpism and MAGA are not only a treasonous attempt to overthrow American democracy, they are a rejection of all aesthetic aspiration.
With its firing of Moran and complete subjugation to Trump, the “news” network can no longer be trusted to defend truth and report news accurately.
Moran committed the cardinal sin of corporate TV news: he told the truth unabashedly.
Corporate media is now so compromised by monopolized ownership –in this case Disney–that it can’t work in the interests of its own survival.
Marc Elias blue skies that: “No one should wonder why viewers are abandoning legacy media in droves.“
Moran has also corrected Trump’s lies in real time, face to face, and of course the White House doesn’t like that, so of course Disney doesn’t like that.
Trump demands that Newsom and Bass prostrate themselves and assure him that they “WOULD BE NOTHING” without him.
In the be-careful-what-you-wish-for department, Roberts and his corrupt brethren were co frantic to ensure Trump’s election victory that they ushered in a lawless presidency that could render them irrelevant.
In Slate. Mark Joseph stern evokes the “reaping phase” of the second Trump presidency”
“In the course of effectively exonerating Trump for his misdeeds, the Supreme Court endorsed a corrupt vision of the presidency in which self-dealing, partisan retribution, and abuse of power were reframed as legitimate, even laudable constitutional prerogatives of the chief executive. . .Trump’s second administration has, predictably, embraced this cynical conception of executive authority, with devastating results for democracy and civil liberties.”
And let’s commission some books about his mental and physical decline.
Remember, he just said today that he sets the bar about whether the National Guard will assault peaceful protesters.
ABC & Stephanopoulos caved to Trump over his ridiculous, baseless lawsuit. Now Terry aMoran tells the truth about Stephen Miller in a personal tweet and White House, Inc. pressures them to make him delete the tweet–and they do! And then proceed to suspend Moran.
ABC “News” is a disgrace to journalism. It is over. The next to collapse may be CBS “News,” at the command of Shari Restone.
Adam Moeckler and Ben Meiselas, two of the independent citizen journalists who are filling in the vacuum left by he collapse of corporate media, is making sure this disgraceful story gets the exposure it needs.
Cautionary tale: once you cave to Trump he jawbones you forever.
Boycott ABC “News.” Close it down. This must be the consequence of their subjugation to Trump.
via their destruction of USAID, which fed the sick and starving. Why isn’t the corporate media confronting Trump and his fake Christian brigade about that?
Still think we should roll over and play dead, James Carville?
The pathetically weak era of Democratic neoliberalism era must end. Over three decades is enough. The “Abundance” movement is more of the same bullshit.
If Schumer can’t bestir himself to go to the American public with a daily update on what he is doing to fight Trump’s coup, then he needs to resign pronto.
Tom Joseph thinks so. He tweets:
“Trump 100% confirms he’s in the Epstein video evidence by him and his admin using multiple agencies to manufacture violence and a military crackdown in LA. It’s all for the cameras. Kristi Noem will be wearing a paramilitary costume. Team Trump is desperate to distract news coverage of him in the Epstein evidence. There is a cover-up in progress to hide Trump’s Epstein crimes. This is part of a 10 year pattern of convicted felon Trump being protected by a faction who are OK with him being a criminal and traitor.”
So the Biden “cover-up” is worse than Watergate, eh, Jake?
Is there anything he won’t say to sell another book?
Whatever Tapper, or for that matter, the much younger Alex Thompson, says from now until the end of their “journalistic” careers should beviewed with skepticism.
John Stoehr at Raw Story offers some much-needed pushback against Tapper & Thompson’s grifting hustle. He implicates their “factual sloppiness,” and goes on from there, without for a moment doubting that Biden’s decision to run for re-election was a mistake.
