📌It fucking amazes me that EVERY country outside the U.S. understands that EVERYTHING Trump is doing benefits Russia -- EXCEPT the corporate, mainstream media. 📌Seriously, it blows my mind that this isn't in all their reporting. They are either complicit (possible), or incompetent (probable).
they don't want to lose their precious "access" so they have no choice but to toe the party line and basically just reprint WH press releases.
Ummm the main stream media is complicit although CBS seems to be hanging tough. We’ll see.
They are afraid
Unfortunately, in the United States, there is no law that requires news organizations to report honestly. If the news outlets are bought or too scared to publish then alternatives must be used to spread the truth.
You were right with complicit.
But, on a positive note, it simplifies the process of identifying traitors.
Cowardly and complicit.
What makes you think they don't understand?
complicit- they helped keep trump out of prison and get him elected.
They’ve all been bought! Told to bend the knee or lose your job 🤷🏻♀️
It would help if they lifted their self-imposed moratorium on follow up questions. They might also be distracted by the manuscripts they're no doubt hard at work on. They'll get back to us on the whole "existential threat to democracy" thing.
Well now the corporate media cowers in fear of American Yanukovich so that's not going to happen. But for a decade they decided to treat Trump's obvious puppet status as a hoax or conspiracy theory crafted by libs when it was always in plain sight (along with his party's alliance to the Kremlin).
They are both and greedy to boot

That's because all the mainstream medias owners (see WaPo, NYT, LATimes, etc) are now kissing up to Trump, so they don't want to publish anything that might be perceived as negative or against Trump policy/agenda. I guess you haven't noticed all the resignations lately.
Oh, they know.
The only thing corporate media cares about is access.
MSM contribute to the overwhelming ignorance in this country about what is really happening.
Magats don't won't to know
MSM news departments are profit centers living in fear that after the coup trump might shut them down. They need to get over it because he will definitely shut them down, he won't want more than Fox polluting the news. It's like SCOTUS giving him immunity not knowing he would shut them down too.
Corporate news media can no longer call themselves journalists They are not objective
Go to seeyouinthestreets.com Women’s March and 505001 are planning a march on DC (and anywhere else in the country for folks who can’t get to DC) I’m excited about this one because it’s a weekend and more accessible to the working class. We gotta show up and show out, y’all. 💕✊🏼
100% Complicit
* Trump is deconstructing the American Government, making it vulnerable in preparation for a Russian Putin “Nuclear First Strikes”? *
They understand. They just aren't telling people because they are laughing on the way to the bank. $$$$$$ Legacy media is owned by the oligarchs. They are the problem.
Complicit
STATE RUN MEDIA...mainstream media is OWNED by supporters of this russian asset oligarchy! They also don't report protests & boycotts. Media is not helping us, invade their spaces! Leave comments everywhere of upcoming protests, boycotts, demonstrations, strikes, everything resistance related!
Absolutely. And no media curiosity how Russian and North Korean’s intelligence/ targeting suddenly became inexplicably astonishingly accurate in Kursk after flailing for months.
Complicit. Legacy media is wholly owned by billionaires who want Trump’s tax cuts.
Katharine Graham no longer works in the building
They are BOUGHT!
The corporate main stream media is wholly corrupt at this point. The best thing we can do is keep all of it turned off. We have to bankrupt them.
They have been warned
Complicit. Not even a question. The reporters know the story, they just aren't being allowed to tell it.
America is a russian outpost.
They are owned by the far right... they are complicit.
Or afraid. ABC's caving to trump's Stephanopolous lawsuit, CBS 60 Minutes lawsuit by trumpty over Kamala's interview. Their bosses have most probably warned them not to say anything that can be considered libelous.
Oh, they know it too. It’s more profitable for them to spout the administration’s BS than tell the truth. And make no mistake, truth and integrity are not part of the equation.
That’s because they are in on it. Whether out of fear, or for money, they are part of the regime…
They know
Seriously you’re amazed at the corporate media not telling the truth or giving hard facts??? Do you live under a rock??!
Or owned by oligarchs (factual)
👆 This is the answer. The media knows and they know it with a big middle finger to the public. They aren't mainstream media, they're the propagandists for the authoritarian regime.
I also think they're too scared to say the quiet part out loud.
Unfortunately I think you're right. Fear is a formidable opponent.
Well said. It also means admitting that it’s really happening. That we are essentially occupied and being dismantled by russia. putin has essentially achieved here what he hasn’t yet in Ukraine.
✨They are complicit! They've always been complicit! But it's beginning to backfire! Even the liars are calling out liars! Keep resisting BlueSky! Daylight is the best disinfectant there is! Keep exposing them for who they are! 🤜Fuck👊trump🤛 🫴✨🖕
Definitely complicit.
This relationship goes way back and is so obvious who’s playing who!
Right? wtf is wrong with them?
Those media companies are all owned by oligarchs allied with Thump. How do you not know this?
Oh they understand it. They think there’s something in it for them if they spread his bullshit propaganda.
Greed. They churn a lil left, churn a lil right, all the way to the bank
If it helps 40% of Canadians support Poilievre, a Trump acolyte and Russian tool. He won’t get a security clearance. The Ontario and Alberta premiers are equally corrupt and Russified. Canada is so close to replacing poutine with Putin.
There may be some incompetence as well, but they are clearly complicit. They couldn't be doing it to the extent they are without being complicit. They love the idea of those tax breaks, and they will let the country burn to get them. It's a very sad story. And why? Don't they have children too?
They understand. And they knew. At this point, all other explanations have evaporated.
Since putin is the common denominator in this shit show it would be great if he was the first one to fall out a window.
It absolutely boogles the mind. Benedict Donald is a Trojan Horse working for Putin. Putin obviously has serious Kompromat on the orange scourge & I'm sure many others. Plus tRUMP has Russian debt going back 30-40 years with the Oligarchs. #Krasnov
Let’s be clear- the only thing Trump wants out of the war between Ukraine and Russia is a Nobel Peace Prize- whether he has to blackmail/sacrifice Ukraine to do it- and almost think he’d join Putin and have us invade Ukraine too if it got him the peace prize
They are owned by Trump loving conservatives....
Absolutely wild how passive so many in the US are being about this. I don't know if it's the false belief of being exceptional, or if it's denial, or if it's intentional ignorance, but there are many people around the world who seem to want more for you, then you want for yourselves.
It’s the oligarch rulers.
As the victim of the most flagrant invasion of a sovereign European country since WWII, it's unthinkable for Ukraine to entrust its future to the likes of Vlad and the clueless Trump he continues to play like a Strad.
@dearlstephens.bsky.social you can only give someone the benefit of the doubt or ignorance for so long, before you have to assume conscious choice. To keep assuming ignorance means hoping that correct information will solve the problem, when you're really dealing with foul play.
$$$$$$$$$$
MSM is about ratings and his 🦇 💩 antics get views, clicks. They are afraid of losing access and of course oligarchs like Bezos (WAPO) as example own the media and they just care about money and power.
Turn around possible and probable and I fully agree with you.
Well if he gets his way then he will no longer need them and get rid of them
THEY ARE AFRAID.
The media has failed the American people!
American media is pussywhipped.
Oh, they understand. They are just cowards who have been bought.
Possible totally just afraid. We all know a mob boss has no boundaries.
The cowardice is unbelievable. Sane wash. No fact checks in an interview. Just, wait for Leavitt to tell them what to report. Yup. I'm talking to you reporters. Except the AP.
Scared.
The US Media has failed us for a decade. They continually fail to see the brazen threat that shitler poses to their own existence - much less the world. #veteransagainsttrump
Complicit all the way.
Corporate non journalist owners bought and paid for by the ogalarchs. Not many true free prees entities out there any more.
Because they are in on it!!!
And it leaves the impression that we all support his policies!
They're afraid of losing their licenses.
They're absolutely complicit.
Look at all this:
Bought and paid for....
Or fucking terrified pussys🤷🏻♀️
O YA A GREAT EVIL COUPLE 👎👎👎😠😠👎👎👎👎👎🇺🇸
True statement
I gave us (as in US democracy) a 50-50 chance of surviving at start of this regime. Now the odds are more like 30-70. Complicit GOP Corrupt SCOTUS Inadequate judicial response Caved media Wuss Dem leadership Elon fucking Musk & DOGE I won't stop fighting back, but it ain't looking good. 😣
One more: compromised politicians (esp trump)
They kno they don’t care … all abt money for the press so
I think it is pretty clear they are complicit.
They are complicit
Lalalalalalallalalalalala
The corporate mainstream media are owned by the ultra wealthy. They are corrupt.
I think they are all in on the coup! Obvious to me.
BOTH
They fully understand. They just believe they can benefit from it.
they are scared
They understand. They just don’t care.
Under Biden the US gave Ukraine arms and support but not enough to win the war and drive out the Russian invaders. Now that the Ukrainians have been sufficiently weakened, Trump proposes to divide the spoils with Putin.(@youranoncentral.bsky.social):
It's extremely naive to think that mainstream media suddenly became incompetent amid the rise of Trump. They are complicit. End of story.
The corporate mainstream media is owned by GOP interests.
It's the corporate media. It's infuriating how complicit they are with everything.
Or we have to admit they are afraid. They have submitted in advance
We are an authoritarian country and the press exists in a state of fear
They fully understand they're just being cowards and have conceded for fear they'll lose WH coverage... personally I'd see that as a badge of honor
🆘☎️WAKE UP AMERICA OUR VERY LIVES ARE AT STAKE! The USA is being run by Russian operatives. The coup is moving at speed of light and in real time! 💯 % the kremlin’s calling the shots🤬 #RemoveTrumpAndHisThugs 👇👀 youtu.be/VAxTquHEbP4?... COMRADE MUSK. FELON TRUMP AND ALL THE OTHER COMRADES MUST GO.
The mainstream media is both complicit and incompetent.
Hell, they won’t even use air time to show protests when they take place and the masses of people who show up. There’s so much the media doesn’t tell us.
Not all that surprising when you remember trumpsakov owns corporate mainstream media.
Oh I think they understand. It’s just that they do not care. As long as they can bribe (lobby) little-t into benefiting their pockets they’re all good with it, both the gop and their billionaire overlords.
Complicit and benefiting for their “loyalty.”
I would also add - it's a red-pill-blue-pill world we're living in, and most people, including the media, are opting for ignorance.
A perfect example of this is the end of NIH funding. Apart from the health benefits that arise from the research, pharmaceutical companies make money from the drugs that result from the research. Who benefits from lost GDP for the US? We are forfeiting leadership in everything.
Cuz it's payola but for the white house & the two other branches and their industries are being deregulated. It's a new gold rush. Usually if the corps are quiet they're benefiting in some from or fashion.
They are a motley lot. They were probably rubbing their hands when Trump got back in, ensuring that they would have lots of meaty stories for their newspapers for at least 4 years. They don't seem to care about the injustices and inhumanity of Trump and his helpers. They have failed miserably.
Or terrified. Likely terrified of repercussions or the threats of the base.
They are complicit. They are oligarch owners have put guard rails on what they can say.
1. dread governs 2. anxiety dominates 3. terror controls
The owners of the MsM are the oligarchs who work for Trump!
