"What is happening in the mainstream American media in outlets like the New York Times, CNN, the Associated Press and beyond is disgraceful and beyond contempt. The free flow of disdain for Biden, Democratic voters, and the sanctity of public discourse is obvious to even the most casual observer."
"I have not seen worse behavior since the same press aided and abetted George W. Bush in selling a pack of lies about Iraq and weapons of mass destruction from 2001-2004. It isn’t even worth saying the press should be ashamed because they have shown us time and time again, they have no shame. …
We’ve seen this kind of thing again and again from this pack of jackals."
"Surely, the thought process goes, they are as afraid of how a second Trump term would crack down on their ability to do their jobs and exercise their freedom as the rest of us.
This is unfortunately naive. These people do not care. They are far more interested in their personal financial gain and professional standing than the future of the country."
@wdlindsy 19th century 'yellow journalism' to go with the 19th century Supreme Court. This is a full frontal attack on Human Rights policies by every organization the MAGA movement controls. They even want to pick the opposing political parties candidates.
@wdlindsy When I heard that condescending @JakeTapper wasn't allowed to fact check, and that I could only find that out after the fact, my brain went right to the word #malpractice. A just world will somehow compensate us voters for what #CNN took, but I have no idea how it might manifest. I can only hope it comes about by efforts of the worthy and not in the aftermath of the wicked, as so much in a world where trump has power does. #debate#MSM
@wdlindsy Personally, it’s been giving me flashbacks to the Reverend Wright “scandal” in terms of scale and absurdity.
Remember that? Weeks of telling Barack Obama he should quit a primary he was winning because of something his pastor said.
Republicans and Clinton wing Dems lined up to turn him into a punching bag over something completely irrelevant to the race. Because he was winning. And they were scared.
@foodnpolitics Yes — thank you for that valuable reminder. So many of us have such short memories. And remember the fake hysteria about Ebola and those "hordes" marching up from Central America to Mexico and the border to pillage and rape? All of which went by the wayside as soon as the Republicans swept into power…. The media have long done Republican bidding.
@wdlindsy It’s helpful to look back and remember media has its own agenda. And it’s often not democratic or representative of voters’ wishes.
The 2014 GOP narrative is another good example of absurd propaganda. People coming over the border and carrying suitcases of Ebola was such nonsense.
What I remember best is the nationwide ad peddling that narrative. It was insane but slick. I thought, “Democrats never run one nationwide ad. Why?” Money? Lack of agreement? Logistics? 🤷♀️
