Yeah you’re right. They didn’t want to be public supporters but wanted him to win.

Remember that Paramount didn’t have the money to keep The Tonight Show but suddenly found it to purchase The Free Press and Bari Weiss.

The propaganda effort at CBS News has begun in full force.

There's this absurd hit piece saying his election would cause a large exodus at the NYPD.

A paused CBS News video features a close-up of a bearded man in a suit speaking outdoors. Video controls are visible over the image. The headline below reads about NYPD officers worrying about someone becoming the NYC mayor. The CBS News channel name and subscriber button appear at the bottom.

I’m glad that the ceasefire is taking place AND is being respected, but come on. Giving it to Trump?

Get help.

So Biden got a ceasefire in December, then Trump came and upped the weapons transit and allowed weapons that had been banned by Biden, 10 months of the same horrors you denounced plus Trump saying he wanted to make a resort in Gaza (and other grotesque statements), but sure…give it to Trump.

Genuinely don’t think our political discourse is capable of talking about how Donald Trump—*Donald Trump*—just halted an ongoing genocide.

Dr. Nick Posegay @nposegay.bsky.social · 20h

I have strong doubts that the 'ceasefire' will hold and lead to an actual peace deal, but it seems like, maybe, somehow, Trump kinda learned a lesson here...?

The asymmetrical media response to political violence in America is, in itself, one of the most important contributing factors to how we arrived at this place of escalating political violence.

Headline from time with a photo of Charlie Kirk at the event where he was murdered, smiling and waving at the crowd. The preview time has shared indicates that this will be the cover story of the next magazine.

The headline reads

The Killing of Charlie Kirk and the Political Violence Haunting America

They might be making Trump mad, but Newsom has been throwing these at the press -- if you think these are beneath my office, why don't you say that when the president does the same thing?

He's exposing that the media has a separate set of standards for Our Very Special Boy and that's good.

Mike Rhone @mikerhone.bsky.social · Aug 17

I don’t know that these tweets from Newsom’s press office are actually accomplishing anything, but this one nearly made me spit out my coffee (literally).

AI art showing Gavin Newsom surrounded by Kid Rock, Tucker Carlson, and an angelic Hulk Hogan, all in prayer. The latter three have their hands on Newsom’s shoulders.
