“Who Broke Arm”
AS IF HE DID IT TO HIMSELF.
“Brian McGinnis, in full uniform, can be seen on video being grabbed by Republican Senator Tim Sheehy and three police officers. They lift him up in the doorway while he screams “no one wants to fight for Israel” with his hand in the doorway still. Then a snap can be heard, as McGinnis’s arm breaks.”

📰 In a shocking turn of events, it seems CNN has mistaken its news section for a live-action war game update 🚀💥. Meanwhile, the real battle? Trying to get their video player to load without a meltdown. 📺🔄

It's genuinely sad that in 2026 Australia, the only place doing real, no bullshit journalism is a youtuber.
While the ABC & corporate press tiptoe around Liberal Party corpse-flogging, friendlyjordies just drops the receipts on Angus Taylor as the new opposition leader and why it's the final nail in their coffin. -
"The Trump administration is teeming with despicable gutter racists and President Trump and his cabinet are having them call the shots."

"Simply put, the Trump administration is obviously racist and is actively pursuing a white supremacist project. …
The Times, the Post, the Wall Street Journal, and just about every other major outlet haven’t chosen to make one singular story the dominant framing device of the past six months:"

"Donald Trump and his administration are systematically dismantling our government, institutions and alliances. They are tearing apart the fabric of the Republic. Their corruption is naked and unprecedented. They are investigating and jailing their political opponents. But the media right now is focused on a retired president’s aging process."

"The narcissistic, self-absorbed, and self-important DC chattering class think that Americans care in 2025 whether Joe Biden was fit to run for president in 2024. The only group of people who care about doing a deep dive into that subject right now is them, but they are determined to use their platforms to do their best to make others care."

"CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson have a much-hyped book to sell and a Pulitzer to win.
Their friends across legacy media are willing and eager accomplices - because they have current and future books to sell too and it is a very incestuous and cynical business."

"WaPo should apologize for endorsing Pam Bondi. There were plenty of red flags before she became Trump’s fascist enforcer."

Wajahat Ali reminds us how the corporate media are continuing to behave as the clown-show fascism (Michael Tomasky's term) rolls out:
"At the pathetic and groveling White House Correspondents’ Dinner over the weekend, the mainstream media’s remoras assembled to engage in mutual verbal fellatio and enjoy the 'glam' during the ascent of fascism."

Idly turned on midday TV news show yesterday.
*Big mistake*
Still possessed enough self-control to forestall a RUD event of ancient TV set, but took a while to get over skin-crawling reaction to smarmy pundits.
Brain does double take..."smarmy pundits"?
Merriam-Webster came closest with "smug, ingratiating, or false earnestness"
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/smarmy
Recalled "pundit" came from "pandit", but much heavy lifting re "learned".

"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…."

Normal Island News
Establishment admits it couped Corbyn because you're not allowed to choose your leaders
Here is how democracy really works...There are some things you are not allowed to talk about in politics if you want to keep your job. One of those things is how the establishment closed ranks for five years to bring down Jeremy Corbyn.

@Trenton_Hoshiko NBC News: “Democrats joke about false JD Vance rumor after years of criticizing Trump for spreading misinfo”
Also NBC: “Children play with Super Soakers after years of criticizing nut jobs for shooting up schools”
Also also NBC: “Local prosecutor sends back poorly-cooked restaurant meal after years of criticizing Hannibal Lector’s food preferences”

Example number… let’s just say, kazillion or so (I’ve stopped counting). This is what I’m talking about:
“New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker defended Welker’s decision to interview the former president — arguing that it’s necessary for journalists to challenge political leaders.”
As if he or they “challenge” Trump. #Stenographers #PRDepartment #MediaFail

CNN hoped a Trump town hall would give it credibility with the GOP. Instead, it got dunked on.
