One of the many reasons democracy in America is dying is that the free press has abdicated its role of informing the public. Instead, they see all things - even multi trillion dollar budget deals - as advertising competitions to see whether Coke or Pepsi (D or R) "wins"

Trump has normalized performative lying and waving off anything critical of Republican policy as "fake news." Media just nods along.

The same reporters who ran Biden out of office for headlines like the below are not only silent about this information, they are elbowing each other out of the way to congratulate Trump on his big "win" (robbing from the poor to give to the rich!)

Every now and again, the Times shows itself to be every bit the caricature of the out of touch, elitist publication its critics say it is.

how it started/how it's going but hey, when you've got ball washers in the press like Annie Karni writing fluff pieces you can act out in public in ways that would get others put in a 48-hour psych hold and never worry about anyone saying anything about it. ๐Ÿ™„

Perhaps some enterprising reporter could ask the commander in chief why his Defense Secretary is making unilateral decisions about military aid to Ukraine b/c as I understand the military chain of command, Trump has the final say on such things

Obama once made an offhand remark that some voters clung to religion and guns as a way to compensate and there was a weeks long media freak out. This didn't even crack the news cycle b/c reporters are too busy marveling at all Trump's "wins" ๐Ÿ™„

We're withholding weaponry from Ukraine and relaxing sanctions on Russia, if I was Putin, the conclusion I would draw is that the U.S. is actively helping him. Media shrugs.

Just imagine the news stories if Biden's SecDef was making unilateral decisions like this behind his back. A combo of "is Biden out to lunch?" and "Biden doesn't even have control of his own cabinet" but with Trump, none of this seems to matter.

A nearly 80-year-old man who grew up and lived in New York for decades claims ignorance over an anti-semitic slur and the media is just like "yup, makes total sense. MOVE ALONG!"

Probably the kind of thing that should have been emphasized BEFORE this bill passed, or the one that did the same thing in 2017 or the one that did the same thing in 2003 or the one that did the same thing in 2001. But hey, you got a cable gig out of it ๐Ÿคก

We're all just pretending this isn't the fourth time Republicans have cut taxes for rich people in the 21st century (not to mention twice in the 1980s) and every time it spikes the deficit and debt and doesn't do anything for the economy other than make the 1% even richer
