I'm still gobsmacked that the media is calling "signalgate" the first scandal of Trump 2.0. You mean bringing in an un-elected billionaire and a bunch of teenagers to ravage the govt. isn't one? Abducting students off the streets isn't one? Threatening to seize Greenland and so much more? WTF???

There is very little independent media in the states. News stations are propaganda machines for trump & his minion oligarchs. FOX is an arm of the right wing Murdoch family (boycott their media outlets). Not sure what CNN is anymore. They are not independent journalists, they are TV personalities

In my 62 years of life, I have never ever seen the MSM back down from the government. Never. It didn’t matter which party was in office. What an absolute disgrace and disservice to our nation.

I love that he had the absolute balls to accuse Zelenskyy of flirting with WW3 2 weeks before vaguely threatening a founding member of NATO live on TV.

The failure of the MSM media overall is the story underlying every other story about what's happening to our once great country.

From TIME Magazine's story today on new Social Security ID requirements: "Some experts have stated that the levels of fraud within the Social Security system are not as prominent as the Trump Administration says." A perfect example of their mealy-mouthed, cowardly normalizing of Trump/Musk's lies.

What cemented it was that top officials went out & lied about it extensively & repeatedly on camera — some under oath. Not that this should be so. This was the bar that was salient for MSM for ongoing coverage. Sad really. Corollary: MSM continues to reinforce its view that its doing a good job.

Yeah, I guess because it's a clear *mistake*. Abducting students off the street is a deliberate policy choice, and they can't criticize that while being "objective." Yeah, it's screwed up.

I guess the actual bad stuff is so outside their frames of reference that the media is incapable of responding. Signalgate is something within the four corners of journalism. “Blowing up democracy” apparently is not.
