This was a fascinating moment as Trump rambled on with his 60 Minutes/Kamala Harris conspiracy theory, a reporter reminded Trump that the media sanewashes him every day.
They don’t sanewash him. They lie for him. The misinformation of what he really says and means seems to extend from the journalist to the newspaper or network.. it is way beyond sanewashing. It is cowardice or complicity !
Actually “they” don’t. Trump is the one who is completely obsessed with Biden and Obama. He brings them up whenever he speaks.(it seems) i assume it’s his dementia.
BUT they NEVER hesitate to regurgitate anything negative about Joe Biden. Joe had his faults, we all do, but he was a darn good President. We could sleep at night. His big mistake was not sticking to his plan of being a one term President. So Kamala did not have enough time.
Hell, Jake Tapper wrote a whole damned book about Biden and promoted it all over the place. As for Kamala, there's a possibility that she actually won:
Karoline Leavitt does it about every single subject. Praises trump by lying about something he did, then trashes Biden. Every single time. And, Hegseth starts every answer with “Unlike in the previous administration.”They ALL dunk on Biden every fucking chance they get!!
I don’t know CNN sure talk a lot about Jake Tapper‘s book and now the Biden White House correspondence it sure isn’t Trump bringing up their books and yeah, he stumbles he babbles just like on the plane they had to bring up the Joe Biden stumble and used to come out of the belly of the plane that wasn’t from the orange turd or how he was out on the set of reacher it looked feeble. I don’t know. I walked around, didn’t look at me.
CNN is charging now to use their iphone app. They have interminable ads. To watch CNN is like watching a channel of ads, with tiny 30 and 60 second news.
Remember when cable first came out and its big selling point was no commercials? "Just pay us directly and you won't have to sit through ads!" Now we're expected to pay directly >and< sit through "infomercials".
They want a fascist takeover because it is the lazy way out. However, the side affects of fascism hasn't been seen in 90 years. What goes around comes around.
Well it’s the stupid way out. Let it nearly take over the world and then sacrifice a generation of men; fathers, brothers and sons to stop the destruction of humanity and then you appreciate what you have and what it truly cost. Time heals all wounds. a couple of generations pass, those who were adored and lost to war are forgotten and the story repeats. Is it laziness or fucking stupidity.? I’d imagine that is the purpose of patriotism instilled in our children but if it is only memorization without the knowledge of content or context it can be usurped and collected by any agency to their advantage. It’s not enough to protect ourselves from it we must know it and recognize the hallmarks and indicators of the beginnings of fascism and see that this knowledge is understood, and passed forward with the urgency and weight it requires
Clutch my pearls! The entire financial benefits of liquidating services will become a death sentence to this regime. Somehow they believe they deserve more at the expense of millions of lives suffering. With all they have it’s not enough and nothing will be. There is no boundary to greed. Greed consumes, it is blind to the need of others or any human function. You can’t breath money, you can’t eat money, you can’t drink money. Greed unchecked will consume humanity. The hunger insatiable and the undeniable fact is greed will eat itself. History baby
It’s a true embarrassment to be American these days. I guess I’m as much to blame as the nuts in charge. Should have blown my ass a lot sooner, I watched it happen, in shock and amazement.
But I knew Sam, he hasn’t changed a lick. He’s the same self absorbed, attention starved, want-to-be, greedy failure con man. Not a person he has ever done business with didn’t get screwed. I’m about 10 years his Junior and I remember. I was a pretty young thing and could have had my pick of the eligible bachelors and he didn’t even make the list! He’s no Prince Charming! he and is a was a creep and a crook without a scruple. He has no idea what honor or character is. Yes we can add demented and now dementia but the man is the worst of the worst! A spoiled, incompetent used car salesmen with an inferiority complex. He’s mean and twisted. It is beyond comprehension that this repulsive man is a Sucubus to any that look. Do you know the musical A Music Man? The very first song! “The man is a bang beat, bell ring, big haul, neck or nothin, rip roaring, every-time a bullseye salesman”
I believe Russia through social media brainwashed America with propaganda, a weapon we had no resistance to. Does the name Cambridge Analitica sound familiar?
Now that I think of it I do remember an incident with a sharpie! My god the man is deranged. You know how Howard Hughes went looney, it very much reminds me of that. So spoiled they are not fit for society.
Cambridge was a computer tech company used to influence social media to effect the 2016 election. They created the algorithm that from a variety of quizzes created personalized customized advertising to influence each Facebook user individually. So all political advertising placed in the feed of “ a single white, democratic Baptist woman with two cats” will receive specifically designed to influence that person. Really. Take a look at Malcolm Nance The Mueller Report un-redacted. It will blow your mind.
Oh that Obama Birth Certificate crap should have been the first clue, along with Pool Parties with Jeff Epstein and young girls, along with grab Women by the pussy along with Mexico will pay for his f'ing wall. So YES, THIS CRAP IS ALL ON THE MAJOR MEDIA WIMPS. Where is Walter to kick their collective asses out of Journalism when you need him?
It’s worse than how he talks. It’s how he thinks that matters. His thinking is no better than his speaking. He’s confused all the time and is unhappy about it so he’s angry all the time and lashing out at the American people doing terrible things to us all. He’s a menace letting nazi Stephen Miller act as Goebbles. Donny their own safety
It's already painful to watch/listen to him speak, but when he's asked if he'll initiate world war III by sending bombers to attack Iran and he answers "maybe I will, maybe I won't, I haven't decided" it becomes absolutely terrifying
If it was more explicit, do you realize what will happen to that reporter? They won't be at the White House anymore, which means one less voice to ask honest questions, in a press pool where there are few voices left.---Jason
I get that, however what happens in those press conferences at the White House is mostly garbage being thrown around. Asking questions is a waste of breath. I would just take notes and report what was said, verbatim. Play the video from start to finish.
It’s like a contagious disease. A reporter curbs an opinion or statement, is careful about what they write, exercises caution, circles issues. It is a symptom of the limitations being put on our first amendment rights and freedom of the press. Even average citizens are second-guessing what they say or write or post and many are reconsidering international travel. Unconsciously, the public is already knuckling under to this regime because of potential retaliation. Please be aware of the walls closing in.
Yes, if the conversation went as written, it is highly likely that Trump didn't understand what the reporter was saying. He should have said "corporate media rewrites the things you say, to make you sound like a normal person, so that people can't tell that you are completely incompetent, clueless, and insane."
Again, if the reporter phrases it that way, they're getting thrown out of the White House, banned from the pool, and maybe fired. I think folks really need to understand the environment around this administration better.---Jason

Marjorie, Good question. Cut off the head. If we get rid of Trump and Vance, the rest will go away. Or be put in prison. You have to get rid of Vance too because he insults everyone. He’d have us at war in 2 seconds.
After APNEWS ban, mainstream media is walking on eggshells (likely left over from the "thousands of beautiful eggs" used at the WH Easter Propaganda party)
The NYT sanewashes him and does a ton of “they say and he denies” stuff. The WSJ keeps mostly away from the sanewashing especially on economic issues but give much space in the op/ed pages to his cronies and apologists. CNN’s corporate ownership dare not offend Trump just now and besides, Tapper has a book to flog there.
Are they issuing warnings to the American public? No. While these "Christian" Nationalists have bunkers and supplies to wait out the apocalypse (nobody can do that)(sorry oligarchs)(you will believe in a higher power soon), the actual human people in this country have no warnings. No supplies. No contingency plans. There should be a NATIONAL EMERGENCY ⚠️ 📢 🚨 on all channels.
I honestly don't know how reporters employed by most of the mainstream media are morally able to keep working there. I would lose either my job or my mind very quickly - and no job is worth one's sanity, in my view. You can find another job, but once you lose your mind, you have to be damn lucky to recover it.
Darn tootin'. It takes something I don't understand.. deep inside of you.. to be able to go on, DAY after day, lying and betraying the people who need you the most.
I am sick and tired of mainstream media making him look normal! They’re all so afraid of him! Why? What is he going to do? That’s why I’m on Substack and Bluesky. The people on there aren’t afraid of the orange clown!!
He owns the government and the people running it will do whatever he wants them to do no matter how stupid it is on their part to follow him and no matter the consequences, which they all think they will get out of with a pardon or just ignoring the problem they create and it will just magically go away.
Mainstream media is licensed by the FCC and the FCC can pull their licenses. That is what he can do and has threatened to do. YouTube, substack and Bluesky are under different platforms that aren't licensed by the FCC. They have no control over Internet Content - only some control over net neutrality and to get the Internet people, he'd have to shut down the Internet, which would impact him as well. Don't see him doing that.
Excuse me but we also have Lawyers who Sue him EVERYDAY. 😂 You people are a bit off actually. The News isn't going anywhere. To bad Propaganda FOX NEWS NewsMax and others can't be stopped bc it's a lot of Bullshit Agendas and UNAMERICAN Divisiveness Traitorship BSERS.
You make an interesting statement. Taken literally, "the News isn't going anywhere" is a fact as long as there are breathing, talking people on this planet who will make news and someone to spread it, report it, or whatever.
News organizations, on the other hand, have been disappearing for decades as readership changes, technology changes, the World changes. We are in one such transition right now as the news and independent media are moving to all digital on the Internet and away from the air waves. The licensed networks will be forced to change or go out of business, just like the newspapers mostly all have done since the invention of the television, and seen a definite and huge decline since the widespread availability of the Internet and technology.
There has always been divisiveness in our human cultures as well. Have you not heard of the Hatfields and McCoys in the 1880's? These were two families in Appalachia who so very much hated one another that it drew the attention of law enforcement, and then over time the nation ending up in the Supreme Court. Given the sparsity of news, these two families were seemingly not influenced by outside sources, but by their own local little area and the stealing of a hog. It is also rumored that they were on opposite sides of the civil war as well.
This was the news source in Boston leading up to and including the Revolutionary War - it is no longer in existence - Boston Gazette. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Gazette
The craziness of entertainment news like FOX and others' successes lies not in what they air or publish, but in the failure of the audience in determining whether to believe it or not. But take heart, we may not see it in our lifetime, but FOX will go out of business just like Satellite News Channel, Tempo Television, News Talk Television, and America's Talking - all closed in the last Century.
We The People need to bring back the Fairness Doctrine (that Raygon abolished for Fuxx Entertainment) and Apply it to the Internet Too. Then put f'ing AI to work doing Real Time Lie Meters on all Free Press / Journalism Outlets.
Has the FCC ever publicly agreed with pulling any licenses? So what excuse does the Senate have? They must know they will not be reelected in 2026 by now. So threats to primary them are hot air. By saying OK to his cabinet picks, they have alienated too many voters, and Elon was the icing on the cake. Dump is really powerless on his own, he needs Miller and he is too far gone to know it. I don't think the voting public really is aware of this.
From what I've read and see so far, the FCC is just being a bully. The FCC Chairman has been menacing to CBS, but mostly I believe it is just all talk, bullying, threats, anything they can do to intimidate. The FCC has until July to make decisions about CBS request for merger and can delay another 90 days. If by October 7th, I think, the FCC has not arrived at a decision, then the merger goes into default and Shari, who is worth mere millions, not 400 million, will be fined the 400 million dollars. It's all a game.
Well, thank you! That was what I was going for. You get the prize for correcting grammar in a chat stream in a substack. A certificate will arrive in your inbox on an undetermined date. I hope you enjoy your day!
WTF are you saying?? Not alllll Media. I was ch about 15 different shows and all of them tell what he says, when he says it. Then they question it ...don't you watch anything??!!!! Damn you are in a box!!! You're judging news you don't watch. MAGA news is a whole other ball of wax and worms together. Propaganda FOX NEWS, NewsMax, and a few others. The majority of news stations in USA tell the actual news like it's seen and heard. Gets clue. You're welcome. ✔️ 🧠#MATA
Of course, the demented Mango Mussolini is sanewashed daily by mainstream media. And, of course, he has no clue--because he has no clue about freaking anything.
"I thought I'd seen everything that I've never seen before..." Dear God. That quote tells you everything go you need to know about Trump's current state of mind. He was already sadly lacking in many areas--ethics, aptitude, etc., during his first administration but now he is truly many fries short of a Happy Meal. Yikes.
This is a significant deviation from what professional journalism is supposed to do. We have to remember that Fox Entertainment is just that, it is not technically classified as a real news station and are not held to the same standards. However, the mainstream press should not be biasing the public by hiding the truth. They can’t even intervene when somebody is being hurt so they definitely don’t have the right to hide reality from the public making it more difficult for the public to make informed decisions for themselves. If they do that, they should let people know that they are no longer operating by journalistic standards and are a biased entity, supporting the president and his cronies.
They erase his slurred words. Edit out the pauses where he apoears to be lost. Edit out frames where catheters and depends are clearly visible. CNN and MSNBC are both now run by GOP contributors
The rest of the media needs to get on the bandwagon and stop Sanewashing, its lying to make him seem halfway normal. The press should release the daily transcripts daily. Come on NEW YORK NEWSPAPERS WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? STOP BEING SHEEP LED BY A FELON SEXUAL ABUSER. WAKE UP AMERICA!
I have said it before and I'll repeat it now. Trump was correct about the mainstream media being a threat to the country. But not the way he thinks. Mainstream media lies, changes the story or whatever it takes to evoke strong emotions or make money. If it bleeds, it leads.
Sick SICK SICK!!!! I HATE horror movies, novels, anything making profit from outright cruelty. Can anyone who does this feel human? If you put up your own child to be treated this way?
Actually, Marjorie, no. It hasn't. Until Reagan, there was a commonly agreed on fairness doctrine. Not only that, but news was a public service, not a profit center. See Walter Cronkite, or Edward R Murrow. I could go on, but Republicans screwed the pooch on fair and balanced news
Thank you to this bright and honest journalist, for calling out the propagandizing done by the bought off Main Street media on behalf of a goddamned crook who is not worthy of the presidency in any way! Fuck you fox, cnn, abc, supporting a fucking a fascist regime of hate, corruption and incompetency. Bit you bunch are quite familiar with the corruption and incompetency bit aren’t you?
Journalism died on 1/20/17 when Trump began his first term. The reporters began with the softball questions immediately. I refuse to watch him lie and attack Biden and Obama. They were honorable men who served our country with honor.
They're caught between the Scylla and Charybdis of asking and telling the truth, or avoiding controversy and pre-washing the comments. Whether they twist his incoherent noises into something recognizable, or tell it straight and get banned, lose-lose. Americans who need to know are the real losers. MSM seems to be hemorrhaging talent, and fortunately for us as the exodus grows, most seem to land here and BSky.
I guess the core threat is that this just adds to the number of boot-licking toadies in the press room producing even more unchallenged propaganda. But then, in an astonishing show of spinal regeneration (sort of) what the Dems did during that bullshit hearing about Biden's cognitive state was extremely heartening.
They do shamewash him. We all see his blunders but not on major media.
They don’t sanewash him. They lie for him. The misinformation of what he really says and means seems to extend from the journalist to the newspaper or network.. it is way beyond sanewashing. It is cowardice or complicity !
More complicit than anything else!
Make no MIStake: It's not MISinformation; it's DISinformation. D for Deliberate.
It’s both!
Bingo. Clicks for penny's is the coin of the American Realm now.
Are you kidding? Have you noticed any time that he does anything remotely insane they always have to bring up Joe Biden.
Actually “they” don’t. Trump is the one who is completely obsessed with Biden and Obama. He brings them up whenever he speaks.(it seems) i assume it’s his dementia.
Trump definitely has dementia. Alzheimers or not.
BUT they NEVER hesitate to regurgitate anything negative about Joe Biden. Joe had his faults, we all do, but he was a darn good President. We could sleep at night. His big mistake was not sticking to his plan of being a one term President. So Kamala did not have enough time.
Hell, Jake Tapper wrote a whole damned book about Biden and promoted it all over the place. As for Kamala, there's a possibility that she actually won:

Leavitt is Goebbels in drag.
I don’t know CNN sure talk a lot about Jake Tapper‘s book and now the Biden White House correspondence it sure isn’t Trump bringing up their books and yeah, he stumbles he babbles just like on the plane they had to bring up the Joe Biden stumble and used to come out of the belly of the plane that wasn’t from the orange turd or how he was out on the set of reacher it looked feeble.

Trump. Every way possible they work hand in hand to make mental illness, losing control, odd comments appear somewhat normal.
That threatens lives, well being not to mention what children should not be used as pawns and conveniences of politics.
Trump toughness is but a facade of a facade of serious weakness.
What does trump do all day.
Rescue your journalists and
America from trump like direction, thought and sane washing.
Yeah, but it's profitable.
I heard a comedian today say you can’t lie about the weather
But he will try. Unfortunately if he tells his worshippers the sky is green, they'd say oh I guess it's green I must be color blind

Reference to your comment about a sharpie incident. With all the funding to the NOAA and NWS cut, we can expect to see a lot more of that.
Oh that Obama Birth Certificate crap should have been the first clue, along with Pool Parties with Jeff Epstein and young girls, along with grab Women by the pussy along with Mexico will pay for his f'ing wall. So YES, THIS CRAP IS ALL ON THE MAJOR MEDIA WIMPS. Where is Walter to kick their collective asses out of Journalism when you need him?
Six feet under my friend!
What really kills me is how they kept talking about how "authentic" he came across. Yes, he's authentically scum of the Earth.
Cranky Trump is a spoiled 2 year old. Get him a leash.
It’s worse than how he talks. It’s how he thinks that matters. His thinking is no better than his speaking. He’s confused all the time and is unhappy about it so he’s angry all the time and lashing out at the American people doing terrible things to us all. He’s a menace letting nazi Stephen Miller act as Goebbles. Donny their own safety
It's already painful to watch/listen to him speak, but when he's asked if he'll initiate world war III by sending bombers to attack Iran and he answers "maybe I will, maybe I won't, I haven't decided" it becomes absolutely terrifying
And he loves to hurt people so much. He loves it.
The hallmark of a psychopath.
I hope the Secret Service knows well enough to keep the damned football more than three feet away from him at all times.
Sadly thats only partially dementia. 20 years a
Go he did not think coherently! Hes a very ignorant man and a quite stupid one!
It was t explicit enough.
If it was more explicit, do you realize what will happen to that reporter? They won't be at the White House anymore, which means one less voice to ask honest questions, in a press pool where there are few voices left.---Jason
I get that, however what happens in those press conferences at the White House is mostly garbage being thrown around. Asking questions is a waste of breath. I would just take notes and report what was said, verbatim. Play the video from start to finish.
We MUST TRY!
Trump will deport him with no habeas corpus.
It’s like a contagious disease. A reporter curbs an opinion or statement, is careful about what they write, exercises caution, circles issues. It is a symptom of the limitations being put on our first amendment rights and freedom of the press. Even average citizens are second-guessing what they say or write or post and many are reconsidering international travel. Unconsciously, the public is already knuckling under to this regime because of potential retaliation. Please be aware of the walls closing in.
Not me. F Trump.
They might have "disappeared" him.
Yes, if the conversation went as written, it is highly likely that Trump didn't understand what the reporter was saying. He should have said "corporate media rewrites the things you say, to make you sound like a normal person, so that people can't tell that you are completely incompetent, clueless, and insane."
Again, if the reporter phrases it that way, they're getting thrown out of the White House, banned from the pool, and maybe fired. I think folks really need to understand the environment around this administration better.---Jason
I thought it would be obvious that it wouldn't be a good idea to actually say what I wrote...

Marjorie, Good question. Cut off the head. If we get rid of Trump and Vance, the rest will go away. Or be put in prison. You have to get rid of Vance too because he insults everyone. He’d have us at war in 2 seconds.
He doesn’t understand much of anything.
If you reporters want to be MY friend, you'll do this:
1) Print every honestly-repeated verbatim quote in ALL CAPITALS,
2) And put all other supposedly-direct quotes entirely in lower case.
3) And add a short, standardized explainer at the end of each of the so-treated quotes.
😊
LMFAO!
If he said it that way, normal intelligent viewers would have changed the station from boredom. Trump is so much slower than the rest of us.
Normal, intelligent viewers don't watch anyway.
Who is Normal AND Intelligent???
My friends, my family, dems in general.
Please clarify!

After APNEWS ban, mainstream media is walking on eggshells (likely left over from the "thousands of beautiful eggs" used at the WH Easter Propaganda party)
Aka 🦇 batshit crazy 😜
Personally, media shouldn't sanewash his remarks. Let his real words show how incredibly insane he is. Maybe then they'll impeach him!
Exactly 💯
As they should
That I have to agree with.
Just MAGA Media ***
Most Media tells the TRUTH about what he says. I READ
I also watch TV news.
The NYT sanewashes him and does a ton of “they say and he denies” stuff. The WSJ keeps mostly away from the sanewashing especially on economic issues but give much space in the op/ed pages to his cronies and apologists. CNN’s corporate ownership dare not offend Trump just now and besides, Tapper has a book to flog there.
I share your views.🤩

We are in one such transition right now as the news and independent media are moving to all digital on the Internet and away from the air waves. The licensed networks will be forced to change or go out of business, just like the newspapers mostly all have done since the invention of the television, and seen a definite and huge decline since the widespread availability of the Internet and technology.
There has always been divisiveness in our human cultures as well. Have you not heard of the Hatfields and McCoys in the 1880's? These were two families in Appalachia who so very much hated one another that it drew the attention of law enforcement, and then over time the nation ending up in the Supreme Court. Given the sparsity of news, these two families were seemingly not influenced by outside sources, but by their own local little area and the stealing of a hog. It is also rumored that they were on opposite sides of the civil war as well.
This was the news source in Boston leading up to and including the Revolutionary War - it is no longer in existence - Boston Gazette. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Gazette
The craziness of entertainment news like FOX and others' successes lies not in what they air or publish, but in the failure of the audience in determining whether to believe it or not. But take heart, we may not see it in our lifetime, but FOX will go out of business just like Satellite News Channel, Tempo Television, News Talk Television, and America's Talking - all closed in the last Century.
We The People need to bring back the Fairness Doctrine (that Raygon abolished for Fuxx Entertainment) and Apply it to the Internet Too. Then put f'ing AI to work doing Real Time Lie Meters on all Free Press / Journalism Outlets.
Has the FCC ever publicly agreed with pulling any licenses? So what excuse does the Senate have? They must know they will not be reelected in 2026 by now. So threats to primary them are hot air. By saying OK to his cabinet picks, they have alienated too many voters, and Elon was the icing on the cake. Dump is really powerless on his own, he needs Miller and he is too far gone to know it. I don't think the voting public really is aware of this.
From what I've read and see so far, the FCC is just being a bully. The FCC Chairman has been menacing to CBS, but mostly I believe it is just all talk, bullying, threats, anything they can do to intimidate. The FCC has until July to make decisions about CBS request for merger and can delay another 90 days. If by October 7th, I think, the FCC has not arrived at a decision, then the merger goes into default and Shari, who is worth mere millions, not 400 million, will be fined the 400 million dollars. It's all a game.
Run-on sentence of the month!
Well, thank you! That was what I was going for. You get the prize for correcting grammar in a chat stream in a substack. A certificate will arrive in your inbox on an undetermined date. I hope you enjoy your day!
WTF are you saying?? Not alllll Media. I was ch about 15 different shows and all of them tell what he says, when he says it. Then they question it ...don't you watch anything??!!!! Damn you are in a box!!! You're judging news you don't watch. MAGA news is a whole other ball of wax and worms together. Propaganda FOX NEWS, NewsMax, and a few others. The majority of news stations in USA tell the actual news like it's seen and heard. Gets clue. You're welcome. ✔️ 🧠#MATA

Lmao
... yet!
Thanks for the advice!
Of course, the demented Mango Mussolini is sanewashed daily by mainstream media. And, of course, he has no clue--because he has no clue about freaking anything.
How do you get your information?
How do you manage to remain clueless?
"I thought I'd seen everything that I've never seen before..." Dear God. That quote tells you everything go you need to know about Trump's current state of mind. He was already sadly lacking in many areas--ethics, aptitude, etc., during his first administration but now he is truly many fries short of a Happy Meal. Yikes.
This is a significant deviation from what professional journalism is supposed to do. We have to remember that Fox Entertainment is just that, it is not technically classified as a real news station and are not held to the same standards. However, the mainstream press should not be biasing the public by hiding the truth. They can’t even intervene when somebody is being hurt so they definitely don’t have the right to hide reality from the public making it more difficult for the public to make informed decisions for themselves. If they do that, they should let people know that they are no longer operating by journalistic standards and are a biased entity, supporting the president and his cronies.
Hear!! Hear!!
Exactly 💯
Apply Carl Sagan's BS Meter.
They erase his slurred words. Edit out the pauses where he apoears to be lost. Edit out frames where catheters and depends are clearly visible. CNN and MSNBC are both now run by GOP contributors
Have you watched Rachel Maddow or Lawrence O'Donnell lately? They refuse to lay off Mango Mussolini, thank heaven.
Yes they are still on the right side of history
Trump's ear cartilage is fine, it doesn't grow back, it was a planned stunt.
Agreed 1000%
Makes one wonder how long ALL vip's words have been handled with these kid gloves.
The rest of the media needs to get on the bandwagon and stop Sanewashing, its lying to make him seem halfway normal. The press should release the daily transcripts daily. Come on NEW YORK NEWSPAPERS WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? STOP BEING SHEEP LED BY A FELON SEXUAL ABUSER. WAKE UP AMERICA!
Please see my previous...
What reporter?
That’s what I came to find out! They should be named BUT maybe for their safety in these situations, not saying is better for them? Crazy times!!
I have said it before and I'll repeat it now. Trump was correct about the mainstream media being a threat to the country. But not the way he thinks. Mainstream media lies, changes the story or whatever it takes to evoke strong emotions or make money. If it bleeds, it leads.
Sick SICK SICK!!!! I HATE horror movies, novels, anything making profit from outright cruelty. Can anyone who does this feel human? If you put up your own child to be treated this way?
Where is your heart?
He will be, if he sees that sickness
Hasn't it always been that way?
Actually, Marjorie, no. It hasn't. Until Reagan, there was a commonly agreed on fairness doctrine. Not only that, but news was a public service, not a profit center. See Walter Cronkite, or Edward R Murrow. I could go on, but Republicans screwed the pooch on fair and balanced news
Thank you to this bright and honest journalist, for calling out the propagandizing done by the bought off Main Street media on behalf of a goddamned crook who is not worthy of the presidency in any way! Fuck you fox, cnn, abc, supporting a fucking a fascist regime of hate, corruption and incompetency. Bit you bunch are quite familiar with the corruption and incompetency bit aren’t you?
Hats off to this reporter. Who is this person and at what media outlet permits this TRUTH?

Journalism died on 1/20/17 when Trump began his first term. The reporters began with the softball questions immediately. I refuse to watch him lie and attack Biden and Obama. They were honorable men who served our country with honor.
They're caught between the Scylla and Charybdis of asking and telling the truth, or avoiding controversy and pre-washing the comments. Whether they twist his incoherent noises into something recognizable, or tell it straight and get banned, lose-lose. Americans who need to know are the real losers. MSM seems to be hemorrhaging talent, and fortunately for us as the exodus grows, most seem to land here and BSky.
I guess the core threat is that this just adds to the number of boot-licking toadies in the press room producing even more unchallenged propaganda. But then, in an astonishing show of spinal regeneration (sort of) what the Dems did during that bullshit hearing about Biden's cognitive state was extremely heartening.
