#Democrats #republicans #midterms2026 #pedophiles #epstein #bothsidesism To all those Republican trolls preaching bothsidesism, Raul Torrez is demonstrating how false that narrative is. While #idiot47 is waging war to divert attention from his Epstein Escapades, and while Republicans are doing everything they can to coverup for their sexual predator President, Democrats are actually DOING something to protect children from Epstein-like predators. Remember THIS in November.

Dan Froomkin on how legacy media journalists know full well the truth about Trump, but hide the truth with mendacious headlines and weasel words, and by providing no context for readers to understand important stories. The upshot:
"They normalize lunacy and lying and criminal conduct."

Sogar bei so einem eindeutigen Thema, dass man mit wissenschaftlichen Fakten und finanziellen Kalkulationen analysieren kann, verstecken sich die Berufs-Feiglinge und Nicht-Journalisten der #Tagesschau lieber hinter dümmlichem #Bothsidesism und #FalseBalance.
Hört endlich auf, populistische Unterhaltung und private Meinungen von Nichtfachleuten als #Journalismus zu verkaufen.

"Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust."

"And it’s keeping professional bad-faith performers on payroll because executives think 'loud and wrong' is compelling television. …
Oxygen journalism depends on one huge lie: that platforming is neutral.

"It’s the constant platforming of 'debates' over things we already know—like climate change & vaccine efficacy—as if the only reason the public is confused is because they haven’t heard the 'other side' enough times. It’s treating issues that should never have been up for negotiation in the first place—like the humanity of Black people (my people)—as if they’re just another spicy panel topic."

"Oxygen journalism is when corporate media breathes life into narratives that should’ve died on contact with reality. It’s the decision to treat attention like it’s harmless, like it’s just 'coverage,' when in practice it becomes a ventilator for lies, bad faith, and manufactured controversy."

@NOS jongens, kom op. Niet doen net alsof jullie verbaasd zijn. Het gaat hier om een belofte van de ene oorlogsmisdadiger aan de andere oorlogsmisdadiger.
Gebruik je gezonde verstand weer in plaats van het totaal misplaatste #bothsidesism om journalistieke onafhankelijkheid te veinzen. -
#KollapsUm9: der vorauseilende Gehorsam der deutschen Presse ggü einer Zukunft, in der Lügen gleichberechtigt neben Wahrheiten stehen, in der #falsebalance und #bothsidesism nicht mehr kritisiert, sondern zum allgemeinen Prinzip gesellschaftlicher Bildung erhoben werden...

If it's OK to host a fundraiser for victims of a crime it's OK to host one for the perpetrators.

"Millions of people watched the video that clearly shows that Good, a 37-year-old mother of three driving an SUV, was not the aggressor.
And yet – because the constantly lying Trump administration is insisting against all evidence that she was -- the coverage treats that like a debatable point.
Why would you trust a news organization that doesn’t have the integrity and the guts to state an obvious truth?"

"Nothing makes people lose trust in news organizations as much as when they’ve seen something with their own eyes -- and then see news coverage that doesn’t comport with what they themselves experienced.
Case in point: Legacy media coverage of the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good at the hands of an ICE agent earlier this week."

Anthony Burgess, the English nonconformist, reads Ezekiel 36 to say faith rests on two pillars: righteousness toward God and righteousness toward others. Corruption works to split them—some overflow with worship yet neglect justice; others trumpet justice while starving devotion.
A new heart, Burgess says, refuses the divorce. Such a split, he warns, suits the Devil perfectly and flatters ages that trade piety for slogans.

"Where is it? What does it feel like where you are? What do you see and hear and smell around you? How is it different than what came before? What might these circumstances call for?"

"I love 'Which Side Are You On?' for the way the clarity of its question and the necessity of an answer only gestures to the depths it demands. The song can’t take us all the way there—we’ll have to go looking for ourselves. I believe in that song because it’s physical, because it asks you where you are. Not in theory; your actual body."

@Lilith Heute habe ich mit einer Person gesprochen, die für @heiseonline arbeitet und sehr aufgewühlt ist wegen dieser Sache. Folgendes habe ich erfahren:
Die Haltung des Heise-Verlags zur Annäherung des Verbands »Die Familienunternehmer« an die #noAfD ist in der Belegschaft sehr umstritten. Auf einer internen Versammlung soll der Patriarch des Heise-Verlags abgewiegelt haben. Er wiederholte die Talking points des Verbandes: es sei wichtig, mit allen zu reden, blablabla.
In den letzten Jahren hat Heise ja schon viel von seinem ehemals sehr guten Ruf verspielt, aber das hat mich dann doch überrascht.
Updates:
- Die demagogische Nicht-Stellungnahme von Ansgar Heise ist inzwischen öffentlich.
- Die @tazgetroete zitiert die Einschätzung von @andreaskemper, wonach die #fckAfD von Beginn an der »parlamentarische Arm« des Lobbyverbands Die Familienunternehmer bzw. seiner Vorgängerorganisation ist.

This is way too kind re Yglesias. Post/anti-liberal leftists aren't represented among Dem electeds, although some are unfairly attacked as such in malicious #bothsidesism. Mamdani gives an excellent example of how this false narrative crumbles in the light of day. 1/2

NYT has a long, sordid history of allowing privileged people, notably straight white males like Klein, to speak on behalf of minority communities that are not allowed to speak in their own voice. We're seeing this arrogance — and, frankly, cruelty — on display all over again in how NYT deals with trans people.'
Klein is doing what NY Times does and has long done, professing all the while to be a "liberal" outlet.
#EzraKlein #CharlieKirk #centrism #BothSidesism #NewYorkTimes

My perspective:
Ezra Klein is the New York Times in a nutshell. He embodies what NYT has long been, a force arrayed the progressive wing of the Democratic party while the most outré and dangerous fascist developments of the Republican party are normalized by NYT.
#EzraKlein #CharlieKirk #centrism #BothSidesism #NewYorkTimes

"And I cannot get over the degree to which Klein's response is emblematic of the politically-empowered white liberal response to this age of autocratic fascist abuse and violence, in his predictable rightward instinct and in his seemingly impenetrable assumption that, even though he admits he has no idea what the solution to our present situation might be, he is still just the person to deliver a solution."
