The media story of our time…

Why are we still getting sanewashing coverage of POTUS?

Is there any credible journalist who believes this man is mentally fit to be President?

Trump on AI: "You can't go through 50 states. You have to get one approval. 50 is a disaster. Because you'll have one woke state and you'll have to do all woke. You'll be back in the woke business. We don't have woke anymore in this country. It's virtually illegal. You'll have a couple of wokesters"

Trump declares himself “chief law enforcement agent” as he weaponizes the DOJ.

Where are calls for impeachment by Editorial Boards?

Legacy media sanewashing by omission.

Imagine NYT/WaPo/WSJ if Biden said this?

Trump unveils his #Healthcare plan after 5 years as POTUS.
It is delusional.
Where are:
#FrontPage headlines?
access journalists?
Editorial Boards?

Legacy media sanewashing by omission.

Imagine NYT/WaPo/WSJ if @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social posted this "plan".
social media post of Donald J. Trump & @realDonald Trump I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over. In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare. Unrelated, we must still terminate the Filibuster! 5.02k ReTruths 15.9k Likes Nov 08, 2025,

POTUS & Roger Stone protégé Jack Posobiec are retconning the heroic anti-fascists that fought Weimar Republic Nazis.

The intentional effort to render “anti-fascist” devoid of its positivity is strategic.

It would have an impact if it were covered with the attention and framing it warrants. @rmayemsinger.bsky.social

Corporate media by and large sanitizes Musk’s racism and subversion of democracies.

White supremacist media oligarch continues his assault on democracies.

Why so little coverage of Musk’s global assaults on (reality) and democracies?

Will his terrifying stochastic violence call-to-action be #FrontPage tomorrow?

Elon Musk spoke by video to Tommy Robinson's anti-immigrant rally in the UK today.

"You're in a fundamental situation here where, whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you," said Musk. "You either fight back or you die."

Billionaires via their Republican minions have terminated the CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting).

The last major media system not controlled by media oligarchs or profit-driven model.

NYT Grade: F

NYTimes zero mention of CPB

Trump: It just came out

Powell: You just added in a third building

Trump: It’s a building that’s being built

Powell: It was built five years ago.

Public Health Edition

Fascists are at war with reality and truth tellers.

Destroying the CDC and fact-based public health was a goal of MAGA.

News orgs that use “MAHA” are stenographers for dangerous propaganda.

Public health is under assault. The purge of CDC leadership, people with decades of experience guiding the nation’s response to health threats, dismantles the very programs and direction that keep Americans safe from infectious diseases, chronic illness, injuries, and violence.

Also, who came up with the term 'woke' (disparagingly)? Wouldn't be surprised if it was Epstein, Bannon and that ilk
