“Is the Met favouring Tommy Robinson over the peaceful Nakba marchers?”

@iran“Let us be precise about what has happened here. The Met gave the political heart of London to a far-right movement whose supporters chanted ‘send them home’. It applied hate speech conditions to a Palestinian commemoration that has never once produced a hate-speech arrest.
That is not neutrality. It is a choice. And choices like this do not merely fail democracy. They make unmistakably clear whose democratic rights are being upheld and whose are being curtailed”

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."

"The moment you put someone on screen, you aren’t just hearing them out. You’re granting them legitimacy. You’re telling viewers, even subtly, 'This person’s worldview belongs in the same room as facts.'”

"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 isn’t."

"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."

When one thinks of the cruelty, squalor, and futility of war — and in this particular case of the intrigues, the persecutions, the lies and the misunderstandings — there is always the temptation to say: “One side is as bad as the other. I am neutral.” In practice, however, one cannot be neutral, and there is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.
George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1942-08), “Looking Back on the Spanish War, ch. 5, Such, Such Were the Joys, essay 8 (1953)More about this quote: wist.info/orwell-george/80883/

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread..., nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

While it sounds like an awful collision, that apparently-newspaper-frontpage-worthy anecdotal story is just yet-another-distraction from the real dangers on the roads: huge vehicles, speed, mobile phones, drugs, poor enforcement...

"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."
