The amount of destruction cable news is doing to our democracy is indescribable. When they simply cut to trump holding a cabinet meeting where all he does is lie without pushback is outrageous. So ashamed of journalism in the United States. ☠️

They are only stenographers at this point. No investigative skills.
I think we need to understand how all of them are compensated to understand how broken journalism in this country now is...
Well anchors, reporters and print journalists are all paid by their TV show, newspaper or network. And you can easily track who owns that paper or network. Follow the money.
You are 100% correct. It is a real shame—And miss your reporting on IE. But now being off there, you have more freedom to speak out. I’m following you here.
Thanks, Larry!
One example of "not journalism anymore" is Sinclair, documented to operate a centralized network of scripted content distribution We all need to support indy journalists as subscribers, stay active across our commtys and also in dialogues up here to protect the pluralist culture of this country
Participating in online dialogues and commtys is not enough anymore. Facebook is the new AOL walled garden. We go to coffee shops, restaurants and bars outside of our neighborhood, sit at the bar and talk to people we don't know. It's a habit now of mixing up POVs to offset nationwide 'myopia'
In 2023 the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace wrote this paper advocating for “bridging difference” through pluralistic action on shared issues—a distinctly non-partisan strategy. There's a lot more work to be done to unite the USA together again. 🙏 carnegieendowment.org/research/202...
Yep. Reminds me of the era when website rankings were being gamed because of arbitrary things like hits and eyeballs. These so called journalists are clearly going after metrics that have nothing to do with factual clarity or even evidence based reporting. Yellow journalism masquerading as 4 stars
We're seeing coin operated congress, judiciary branch and journalism
Outrage porn is a hellavuh drug. GOP voters turn up the volume to 11, gorge themselves, wipe their chins, ask for more, More, MORE!
His inner circle could start calling him "The Fuhrer" and they wouldn't say word one...don't wanna lose access . Edward R Murrow, Walter Cronkite, and Mike Wallace are rolling in their graves.
He has so watered down the press to his liking that there is no one left to ask the real questions. It has gotten to the point that the press cannot be relied upon for accurate information. Everything has to be fact checked. The the question arises- who is fact checking the fact checkers???
Yes subservient to the orange felon dictator media is contributing to the end of Free speech and democracy if they keep doing it there will be only trump controlled media outlets a state run television media cabal of misinformation and disinformation just lies 24 hours a day
All while keeping his left hand under the desk.
They're just scared he won't let them operate then they'll lose the money. Fuck the country, the money is king.
They should be investigating THIS. youtu.be/gFqno1EKyp8?...
It’s disgraceful, for some reason we are letting this man destroy everything without any pushback.
The so called free press is toast they’re under trumps thumb through intimidation or extortion and live in fear of retribution Fascism 101: control the press / control the narrative
Editors answering to corporate boards instead of their audience. It’s that simple.
MSM need to quit showing up/covering trump’s “Dear Leader Cabinet Meetings”. Not worth my time to even hear they occurred. Force “news” of any value at them to be released in another way by trump or his minions. The 🤮 adulation is a verbal version of watching Kim Jong Un’s “clapping seal” followers.
Turn the channel. That’s what I do. I will NOT listen to the traitor’s incessant lies and incoherent babbling. I’m far better than he as is everyone else on this planet, except the magats in the house senate and his admin. They are all beneath him.
I quit watching all of them. Why did they make Biden step down and now we have the worst President in history again?
Every single day, I couldn’t turn that liar off fast enough.
Trump and the national media have the most openly symbiotic relationship of my lifetime. They love him and he loves them. They get each other attention. They make each other money. It really is that simple.
Exactly. All cable should do is after meeting highlight lies and any other “authoritarian” words the Sexual Assaulter Convicted Felon says. NO MORE GOING LIVE WITH THOSE PATHETIC SYCOPHANTS FAWNING OVER THE MENTALLY ILL HITLER 2.0
It would be so great if IE went rogue for a day.
His hand picked White House Press Corps is doing a huge disservice to the country lobbing softballs at him and taking what he has to say as gospel all because their bosses are all aligned with the Oaf in Chief.
Hearst would be chuckling
Them, and the poorly educated, uninformed voter are EXACTLY how we got here!!! 😡😡😡
