#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."

"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."

"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."

@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.

His ministry, #WordOnFire, actually sued #Commonweal magazine for an article which compares his comment to a #DonaldTrump one. He's trying to be like too many #priests nowadays, taking this weird impossible #objectivity and #bothsidesism. I like and respect #RobertBarron a lot and encourage him to do more, and speak out more.

"If you are old enough to remember the first time Trump came to power, then you’ve seen this movie before. During his tenure, President Barack Obama was constantly besieged by the worst pundits in America for his failure to bring Republicans—who were at the time following Mitch McConnell’s monomaniacal pursuit of obstruction at any cost—to the table to support broad bipartisan initiatives."

"The media will soon be leaving their fetish for bipartisanship, compromise, and comity behind since the only people on whom they ever impose these standards—Democrats—will be out of power."

"The vast majority of mainstream media pundits, and the most prominent political party analysts are simply ill-equipped to speak or report with knowledge, context, sophistication, or authority about how race shapes American politics and electoral outcomes.
~ Sherrilynn Ifill
And because of this, corporate media are perfectly happy to pave the way for fascism.

Josh Marshall speaks plain truth:
"Democrats need to organize their future politics around the simple reality that the establishment media is structural hostile to the Democratic Party. This doesn’t mean every journalist individually, of course. But the establishment media generally — the Times, the Post, the Journal, CNN and the business news channels, all of them…."

"Like I said, a successful relationship requires reciprocity otherwise it’s simply an exercise in abuse.
After 9 years, I’m done.
I have no desire to reach out to or understand any Trump voter, especially after the 2024 election. I’ve seen enough. They voluntarily chose the most corrupt, dishonest, criminal, unqualified man on Earth to lead the most powerful nation."

"The year is 2024 and I have yet to see a major story or report commissioned by a cable news show, newspaper, or magazine that demands that Trump voters go to urban diners and talk to Democratic voters. I have yet to see any finger-wagging paternalism from these establishment leaders asking Trump voters why Donald Trump has yet to crack 50% support from the voting population."

Yes! So important to be very clear here.

"They have already dangerously normalized a criminal con man grifter, making him just a coin flip away from the White House.
If Trump regains office, a substantial part of the blame will rest with our media, just as it did in 2016. How they sleep at night knowing this is beyond comprehension."

"A party that baselessly denies the outcome of an election has no legitimate claim to be 'represented' in a news organization. Nor can anyone who has gone along with the lie, including the former head of the Republican National Committee, expect a job with a news organization.
The fact is, neither NBC nor any other legitimate news organization can find someone with integrity who can defend Trump…."
-
"The New York Times deadpanned that the embarrassing [Ronna McDaniel] episode underscores the challenge to news organizations 'of fairly representing … pro-Trump viewpoints in their coverage.'
Wrong. The real problem is there can’t be any 'fair' representation of pro-Trump Republican viewpoints as long as those viewpoints are centered on the big lie that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump."

Alas, except for @johnkruzel, no one from The Hill seems to be in the #Fediverse in person.
Giving people like #NolanRAPPAPORT a platform through an "#OpEd" that clearly is so skewed in its perception of (#MAGA) reality is a danger to democracy.
