The US is in the hands of a gang of psychopathic criminals led by a mad king with a collapsing brain, and the media just keeps pretending this is all normal.

The media cares not for the facts or the welfare of the country & Americans- it’s just a money making tool of propaganda. Boycott all but MSNBC.
But look on the bright side they cut the lunch program for kids. but can reopen Alcaraz. "One Nation, under God." That means Hell right. bsky.app/profile/allc...
They all have rabies
That is so true and the bigger problem ! 🤦♀️
There is no more "mainstream" media. It died when Trump was elected again.
Main reason media is collapsing at high speed! Mainstream media no longer viewed as having integrity, morals or honor! Reporters are being told what to report & those with real investigative skills are are a dying breed!
Can we, for example, stop calling a rich guy whose dad bought him an entertainment company a “news media”?
I give the media a pass. if they are not in his press circle they will missout on key bullshit and lies. the police departments on the other hand..they are helping him ffs
It’s easier to rob and pillage when things are in a kerfuffle.
The media is in cahoots
The cross necklaces these women wear does not keep them from lying to the American people.
The world knows better than that.
The show must go on.
“This is fine.”
Cable Media is failing our democracy on purpose... Beware of Headlines obscuring the demise of our freedoms.
Every institution in this country including the media has decided to support fascism. All they care about is power and money. The only ones pretending are the people who still think some miracle is going to save us. It’s only going to get worse from here. Much worse.
Forget the media IT’S SCOTUS,CONGRESS, REPUBLICANS.
Pegged it!
For journalist (read: entertainers) this is just that, entertainment. Are you not entertained in a cowardly landscape thats what sells that is true… The US voted for a corrupt clown show, now you got it.
It will get worse because as it starts to unravel they will become bolder and more desperate to control the narrative to stay in power, knowing that once it’s over they are all in serious trouble
Tragic indeed. The human brain is at the same time a thing of wonder, and nature’s great epic fail IMHO
As long as we allow the media to ignore to crazy assertions of authority Donnie will INCREASE the number of claims of King like powers. The media is the 4th estate because they are the editions if truth. Today they are nothing but the PR team pumping up Donnie’s power dream
They allow the tariffs talk without reporting Donnie does not have that authority! They report that 238 men were sent to El Salvador prison WITHOUT reporting that was an illegal kidnapping without hearings for LIFE SENTENCES. The stories are there to write if they had the courage to write them
The Media failed us a decade ago. They fail us still.
Absolutely correct
There are lots of individual voices screaming but I wish a major news program would start a nightly or even weekly series that highlights the racist and unconstitutional actions in real time, and call people out by name officials and leaders responsible. Live tracking their destruction of the USA.
Exactly. A crime syndicate is fucking the entirety of this nation. Right now. In front of our face. Media is just keep track!
I am suurprized my tv still has screen left.
Yes. Where are the followup questions? Why don't reporters spend a briefing just asking about Epstein? And another on his insane story about his uncle having taught the Ted Kosinsky? Brain rot, undetected by any in the media.
But we know it’s not. Dont ever believe it is.
#EPSTEIN #EPSTEIN #EPSTEIN!!! We aren’t letting it go. Ever. Expose them all. #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinFiles
Don’t be distracted, just focus all your attention on #EpsteinGate
And in CORRUPT hands— the most corrupt administration ever. And have they ever said the word CORRUPT? Nooooooo!
So true, MSM is one of the reasons we’re here in this country, everyday in the past 10 years his face has been put in front of us daily, even in Biden’s term Trump was on tv more then Biden’s while the media tore down Biden never giving him credit for tuning our country around..FThem
Trump's brain is more than collapsing. It's like a washing machine on spin cycle full of cinder blocks.
The paedo sympathising media must be targeted as they prop him up and encourage him. Large scale boycotts required folks.
A little more urgency, strategy and resistance by the opposition party would be helpful…where’s the screaming from the rooftops until they’re hoarse from the Dems?
New normal
They are not pretending...they are doing what corperations do...profiting at the expense of others
Great pitch for a movie.
WHEN will the media get strong, honest, and report the truth instead of a safe party line??? Remember Cronkite??
All the media CEO are Republicans and can't upset the psychopath in charge for fear of retaliation. But, I wish they would comment on the new look of the Oval Office, which looks more like a bordello than a presidential office 👎🤬
The media is a disgrace and has lost any credibility they might have had.
The Americans are under attack. I don't follow any media that says otherwise.
Substack. I only watch a bit of corporate media.
Less than a year ago, they thought this was normal too. bsky.app/profile/rcin...
Mad King DonOld the 1st 👍 seems appropriate
Pretty much sums things up in one sentence!
Well said, Charles.
100%. The fking #MainstreamMedia has been failing us since 2015!
The media is owned by that gang.
Who knew there were so many spineless cowards who just like to act brave.
Yep, that’s what you’ve got ☹️
Most of the media is complicit. Owned by billionaires that are colluding with the orange buffoon to perpetrate the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the ultra rich that has ever happened.
Thank you ! As Canadians, we've come to that conclusion a while back 😒
I hold the news media in the highest contempt for normalizing this rolling, metastasizing abnormality 💀💀💀
Bear in mind that the media of which you speak are the properties of billionaires and/or their cronies. They don’t rock the boat, no matter who’s steering. And they hedge their bets in times of political division.
I only know one king on this planet who is an autocrat. None of the others are, so the use of "king" is silly. Kings are not automatically tyrants.
Could not agree more!! Need to shout it from the rooftops!!
Trump runs MSM too.
And student loan forgiveness was the greatest betrayal of the vaunted white working class since the great TVA farm takeover of the 1930s.
It's good television though
The media was bought and paid for during his first election and I’m gonna go out on a lamb and assume that a lot of those media Mogul are on the Epstein list thus they owe favors.
Maybe letting half a dozen billionaires own most of our media outlets was a bad idea.
Who owns this media you speak of??
Sounds like the big 3 #CBS #NBC #ABC have sucked up to Hitler✌🏼
They did that in 2015 giving a childish narcissistic psycho unfettered airtime to spread the lies he was peddling to his maggaSS republican stupid
Yup. Time shut the assholes off. WE already know the truth.
You know the media is owned by 15 psychopathic criminals in the same gang. 15 billionaires own the 6 media corporations.
Not for long now #DonnySavile has lobbed a sueball at Great Uncle Murdoch
Yes, Trump‘s psychopathic behavior doesn’t end with him his whole cabinet,Robert F Kennedy Junior, Dr. Oz,miss puppy killer,Biondi, brain, dead, Barbie,Vance, so many more
Business As Usual
If the leaders of the other countries had balls in their trousers, they would stop all contact with this fascist NAZI Trump and boycott the US!
Yep.
Partly due to their American audience (us)- they’re afraid they’ll lose too many viewers. Americans don’t want to hear too much bad news. So it becomes sort of “*Don’t Look Up”*. It’s a vicious circle as they cater to us for ratings. We want to carry on like everything’s going to be fine.
And Wall Street 🙄 They'll be all in on Trump's insanity until he crashes it all down and they want another fucking bailout.
Ratings ... more important than Truth
It IS normal. For the 1700s.
Yep.
They just keep pretending it's totally normal. No outrage, no questions, no demand for explanations.
You wouldn't want the stock market to drop, now would you? P.S. All those beds they want to fill in their soon-to-be-50-state-for-profit-detention center won't be filled by citizens who aren't 100% MAGA, will they? P.S. If whistling past the graveyard had a photo, it would be the USA in 2025.
This is the crazy thing. They are all like the crew of a ship, seeing it being driven towards an iceberg & rather than wresting away the wheel, they all either: - Don’t fear the iceberg - Think the ship can’t sink Or (most likely) - think they will get to a life boat and don’t care who doesn’t
Abandon all legacy corporate media
The media is complicit.
It’s actually being led by a Russian dictator. The mad king is the useful idiot of putin.
Well they are paid by said criminal soooo idk what you were expecting here
That's the thing I would not have predicted. Turns out the normalcy bias is extremely strong--especially for the media providing day-to-day analysis. They can't acknowledge we're a fascist country without, in effect, denouncing everything happening. Much easier to pretend to ignore it.
This makes me so fucking depressed & despondent. I didn't realize how people would just accept fascism & pretend things were semi-normal.
We are being “led” by truly deplorable people.
They've NEVER made profits like since this criminal POTUS ran for office, got impeached (w/ proof of real crimes never prosecuted), interfered in all 3 elections w/ blackmail, Insurrection, & purged voters, also not reported from court cases? Why would they stop their gravy train? All are Fox now!
Seems like everyone thinks this will all just go “back to normal” while at the same time everyone knows it won’t haha
Amen!! Someone should remind them of the @washingtonpost.com & the #PentagonPapers. @nbcnews.com @msnbc.com @cnn.com @wsj.com @nytimes.com @cbsnews.com @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social @latimes.com @pbsnews.org @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @simonwdc.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com
"These are not the Epstein files you're looking for."
Except Obi Wan was good...
True.
I used to watch David Muir and. Lester Holt. Now I don’t watch any network news. David Muir is asleep at the wheel and Lester holt is gone. Corporate media has caved to Fox entertainment. They’ve destroyed their integrity.
TBH I don’t watch much network tv period and no paramount streaming either.
Hope they all go bankrupt and the nontraditional media takes their place because I've learned more from them than I ever did from the others.
They own the media.
There is that Russell Vought and his crew are taking full advantage of this too.
When I share my concerns about this with my fellow Canadian citizens they shrug it off. I asked my friends what we would do if America invaded next month and they didn’t seem too worried. I personally do not underestimate the power and reach of the American government
And close to half the population thinks it's just dandy.
Republicanz own the majority of news outlets...
washingtonmonthly.com/2025/07/17/h...
not just media. Congress, Senate and SCOTUS too... ppl who's literal job it is to protect Americans. The abdication of responsibility and accountability is hard to take in.
And they’re all loyal to an u speakable regime.
I now refer to them as the “complicit media”
Nero fiddled. Trump diddled girls.
I hate to be given a juxtaposition where I'm compelled to acknowledge Nero as the honorable one
They act like this is more normal than any average day under Biden
I agree 100%. How the hell do we stop this? This is freaking scary. Those people do not belong in the jobs. They have been put in. It’s time the American people are able to pick the right people for the right jobs. Trump has no business putting anybody in a job. He barely can speak.
We ALL need to register 1 new voter each month for the next 14 months If 10% of us did that we can flip both congressional chambers in DC
Amen let’s all get just one new voter a week someone who’s gonna vote democratic instead of Republican wouldn’t that be a miracle? I think that Trump is dug his own grave. Let’s make sure that we flipped the house and sent it so that Trump can’t do shit for the next two years.
50% of the ppl under 59 yrs old are not registered. Less than 40% if the registered vote. Get registration to 65% and voting to 50% and we win in nearly every district and Senate race
True. Creepy, scary, sad but true. Someone help us make it stop, and get this band of criminals and vermin out of our government!! Please!! 🙏
The media is also owned by narcissistic pos's, so yeah it's in their best interests too.
The media are culpable. By and large their personal greed has brought about the destruction of our political systems and our planet. Murdoch being the prime example.
the media just keeps pretending this is all normal or else.
A criminal president running an illegal government staffed by incompetents and bigots.
The GOP destruction of this country is not surprising. What's surprising is that Amerikkkans chose this path.
Spot on, its freaking exhausting. We are no longer 3 equal branches of government
yes
Trump is a monster in wolf's clothing. He must be stopped. #NoPedophiles 😭 #NoKings 🤬 #SpeakTruthToPower ❤️ #WeThePeople ❤️ #ResetAmerica ❤️ #DismantleICE 🤬 #NoNazis ☠
needs the 'this is fine' GIF with the dog sitting in a fire.
Once this is over, we need to put the MSM out of business and start fresh with new media outlets.
They have been normalizing Trump since the day he came down that elevator with his racist rants about Hispanics...
"The media" does no such thing. The right wing media does.
I’m not sure why now that they got the corporate tax rate cuts extended. There’s nothing in it for them.
bsky.app/profile/blue...
Seriously
‼️
And the billionaires who haven't come out as "far right" but who still control much of media and the companies we interact with also act far more in the interests of themselves and other billionaires than the interests of 99% of the rest of the population.
Bezos, Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison..I would not be surprised they knew Epstein well….we know Peter Thiel did.
THE "MEDIA" IS OWNED BY BILLIONAIRES!!!! They aren't here to help the working class! Can we all say this together?
the media is actively complicit
News flash. The news is not free in this country. They are owned and told what they can and cannot talk about.
This is NOT normal
The " Media" is owned by them, so they aren't hoping to say one damn thing.
They have abandoned us as well
Our media is complicit in the coup, fascism, illegality, Lies, and Treason! Fucking MFers!
The state can never tell you that it's wrong.
Mad king sounds too cool. I like the more accurate; “child-molesting rapist with multiple felony convictions”.
The media is owned by those psychopathic criminals and stafted by cowards, psychophants and morons.
This is the problem. It’s being normalized every day.
The real heroes will stand up and end these fkn games. The American people aren’t stupid.
I'm afraid an awful lot of them are.
📌
It’s utterly maddening, isn’t it? I honestly don’t think it’s malicious. It’s just that these upper middle class kids from stable homes literally cannot wrap their mind around the machinations & constant casually criminal behavior of a malignant narcissist like Trump. They are flummoxed & gaslit.
So only broke lower class people understand things like this. Ok cool whatever
No - but people who have endured deep trauma… and it’s just a filter of our sad society that the more deep trauma you have endured the less chance that you’re going to end up in a plum job that requires a lot of education which usually requires a student have stability in home life and finances.
Read project 2025 follow up project Ester.
Because their bottom line is the only priority they see.
Exactly 💯!!!
I do not understand why the media is so afraid of this Dunce and his minions! If one national organization would stand up and say, NO, others might have the gumption to do so as well!
מה יקרה אם תפסיקו להקשיב לחדשות?
msm is not pretending, they're committed to making it normal.
Yeah, all three people who own the media say it’s normal
Students of US history will recall many similar recent periods madness-led-by-a-criminal (Nixon) or criminality-led-by-dementia (Reagan) or criminality-led-by-a-dipshit (Bush II) one might argue it's our "normal"
I don’t know if they’re spineless or just sold and paid for?
The latter at the owner level. At the worker bee level it’s both.
Because the major stakeholders in the media are part of the cabal... maybe not psychopathic but certainly sociopathic, unable to see that torturing ants is somehow bad. Why the FACES OF THE MEDIA keep showing up to do their pretending is beyond me. WTF???? Most of them are smart enough to get it.
YEP, VERY EVIL & psychotic isn't it! ☠️ 🤬 😱
All corporate media is corrupt
😡😡😡
I'll never watch msm ever again, when they show you who they are believe them the first time!
Mainstream media. Independent media is doing a great job of getting the truth out!
It’s worse than that. This so called Mad King probably used his power as president to unalive Epstein and take over the evidence, since he was implicated. And maybe others, like Jean Luc Brunel and Virginia Giuffre. And there’s Butler…
Because he can destroy any of the corporate ones he wants to. We need non-profit or family owned papers and networks without significant interests for mad kings to threaten with costly legal defenses.
the media that's owned by billionaires who think this will benefit them, yes. the independent media, nonprofits, owned by journalists, are screaming at the top of their lungs about the impending fascist dictatorship. NEWS OWNERSHIP MATTERS. do not give the billionaire news media air.
It's almost like Captialism is failing...?
I will remember those who bend the knee, those who are complicit, those who deliberately refrained from speaking the truth or underreported. They have shown their lack of integrity & I will remind everyone going forward for the rest of my life to seek the truth from those who value their integrity.
I am off to file some paperwork in Colorado District Court to try to get some relief for We the People. I hope I can recharge some sleepy souls to bring it home! Share the good word today to create some cognitive dissonance!
At this point - it’s all of them. I think the US political system needs to take a page from Game of Thrones i.makeagif.com/media/5-17-2...
That’s you @CBS and @paramountnewsbr.bsky.social
Because chaos sells newspapers.
The media is owned by the gang of psychopathic criminals.
A perusal of the last 800 years of history will inform us that this is actually the normal human condition.
there is no media any longer, just propagandists looking to get out any story quickly while ignoring the most important ones.. truly sad
They're owned by the same pedo gang.
The media is actively abetting, not pretending
so long as their ad $$$ keeps rolling in
The word pretending is doing a lot of work. I hear this often about legacy media. At some point we have to acknowledge that most legacy media is purposely covering for #TrumpsDecline. Call them the #VichyUSPress betrayers of #Truth
have you considered the media are ruled by their own psychopathic criminals with collapsing brains ? and most "journalists" are more worried about $$$ than truth
To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery. Octavia Butler
The media is owned by the Oligarchs who support trump
Relative to 15 minutes ago, this moment's revelation is only a little bit more terrible, so yeah, everything's kind of normal.
And those hands are very tiny. It explains a LOT.
The media is owned by billionaires and billionaires are all in on the coup. We have to stop supporting corporate media. Full stop.
The New Normal- where ‘media ‘ is sued for exercising freedom of speech and offered a bribe of a settlement of $16 M + firing Steven Colbert and $20M in free airtime. Media @Cbs @Paramount cower and agree to shakedown compromising journalistic freedom standards in place for decades.
Because they like it that way
US mainstream media is a waste of airtime. They’re officially trump puppets. Spineless and speechless.
The @nytimes.com is more interested in selling papers than the truth.
It's the new normal (sadly)
Where is @jaketapper.bsky.social when we need him?!
Bingo!
