#Journalists in #CorporateMedia are, of course, replaying these assertions to every #Trump supporting member of #Congress to get their response for the record... right?
It's probably best not to engage with dead-enders who'd rather watch society burn than be adults & vote for #Biden, or at least try to persuade rather than scold. But it's so damn frustrating they haven't already figured out at this late date that #Trump is an existential threat.
The deeper the shit they spew, responsibile #Media needs to don hip-waders and rip the logical seams of these swamp creatures until their lies are festooned with the corpses of slugs, starved from the lack of intellectual nutrition from their decadent lies.
Dan Froomkin on how the DC political press has no clue – does not want to have a clue:
"We are one election away from becoming a Christian nationalist state, losing our democracy as we know it, and putting the fate of our country in the hands of a corrupt madman filled with fever dreams of retribution. And yet political journalists seem to think this is just fine. Fun, even."
@randahl He will have to go do something in another country whose people are not astronomically stupid, bigoted, misinformed #Republicans or #hillbillies or #ChristianNutjobs or #Fundie fuckheads. Because #America stupidly wrings its hands and considers this dumpster-fire the 'other side' of politics as usual. Because our lazy fucking #CorporateMedia#NYT#ABC#NBC#CNN#CBS#Wapo needs clicks and ratings and the come-back of its duped audience so he's #untouchable now.
The corporate media do much to withhold information from us that would, if we had this information, help us see that the serious dysfunction in D.C. and the federal government is virtually entirely due to Republican obfuscation driven by a politics of authoritarianism.
In not highlighting this information and making it central to the narrative of the 2024 election, the corporate media allow too many of us to claim ignorance as we make our voting choices.
