And while The Boss is away trying to steal/deal magnets and microchips, stating directly he doesn't care about American consumers, the #GQP party no doubt continues, near the billion-dollar ballroom and Golden Arch of #TrumpVirus & #VanityProjects

"The Beast’s sources also allege Trump will exit the dinner after his monologue and skip the presentation of press awards—unsurprising, given how difficult it is for the president to see people other than him be praised."

"The Daily Beast reported Wednesday that Trump plans to give a cranky speech at Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, in which he 'is expected to target publications that he has accused of writing negatively about his administration and his war with Iran, in particular.'”

"Donald Trump and the nation’s top political journalists are in an abusive relationship. ...
Relentlessly driven by their corporate masters to 'not take sides, they sanewash and normalize him, no matter what he says or does. Even their most critical reporting pulls punches -- and is quickly forgotten."

"What we need to worry about is what happens if some deal is made in Iran that the American media pretends is some kind of win for Donald.
Because let us be real. No matter what happens, this has been an epic disaster of his making. But if it can be spun differently, it will be spun differently."

"The Times usually sanewashes Trump’s cognitive decline, but the gravity of the Iran War along with emerging indications that a global energy shock is building, seem to have forced a change of tack at the paper of record. ...
They are finally catching up to everyone else."

"CBS News went with 'DoorDasher joins Trump for White House press event after delivering McDonald’s.' Reuters, ABC News, Fox News, Newsmax, The Hill, and the New York Post all ran some version of the same thing. So did CSPAN, which I’ll come back to later, because CSPAN doing this again is its own story."
-
Parker Molloy offers in incisive look at how mainstream media have been perfectly willing to collude with the Trump White House in pretending that his Door Dash stunt was a real thing:
"Except a lot of people had been claiming it was a real delivery, and they’d been doing it since Monday morning. The Associated Press ran 'Trump tips DoorDash driver $100 for delivering McDonald’s to Oval Office.”'
-
"Vance is a prefab candidate created by the techno-bro establishment. (The plans are hung on the wall of Peter Thiel’s basement.) That marks him as something of a weirdo. (What the hell was that business of his wife and skydiving about, anyway?) And, in any case, he remains equally unpopular and unlikable and so politically maladroit that no amount of Vancewashing in the public prints is going to change that."
-
"I mentioned here in the shebeen on Monday that I suspected the elite political media was warming up to rehabilitate Vice President J Divan Vance as the mythical 'reasonable Republican' in time for the 2028 presidential election. ... And here we have Tiger Beat on the Potomac [i.e., Politico] all over the story of how Vance already is building a juggernaut among the professional political classes."
~ Charles Pierce
-
"They’re laundering the anonymous quotes into news and printing the framing his comms team is handing them. They know what they’re doing. They’re doing it anyway.
If JD Vance becomes president in 2028, this is part of how it happens. Every outlet, all at once, all writing the same framing. By the time anyone in those newsrooms wants to admit the pattern, they will already have done the job."
-
"JD Vance’s political career doesn’t exist without Hillbilly Elegy, and Hillbilly Elegy doesn’t exist as a political launchpad without a specific institutional decision, made in 2016 by the exact outlets now writing the war skeptic pieces, to elevate it as the book that would explain Trump voters to coastal readers.
For Vance, the press is running the inoculation campaign."
-
Parker Molloy brilliantly reminds us that JD Vance is the creation of the mainstream media which, knowing the money lying behind him (can anyone say Peter Thiel?) have persistently sanewashed him and presented him as the "intellectual" alternative in the Trump-Vance pairing.
The reprehensible journalistic technique they employ in talking about Vance is anonymous quotes from unnamed DC insiders.

How in fuck does Canada's CBC radio news manage to present an item on liar, grifter, sex-abuser, groper, rapist and torturer/murderer Trump's Pope-rant last night and not mention the psychotic, deeply warped and narcissistic AI hallucination he added to it depicting himself berobed and anointing Christ (or WTFTW) as if he's the Lord descended from heaven?

"Trump at some level knows he’s failing politically, cognitively and physically and wants to take it all down with him, the way that ancient rulers were buried with their slaughtered horses and servants. He’s also, as mortality breathes down his neck, trying to grab some immortality by sticking his name on buildings and park passes and currency."

"It’s also evident that Trump wanted to come back into office in part to revenge himself on a country that in 2020 had rejected him, the way an ex-partner sometimes becomes a murderous stalker of the woman who dared to escape him, and specifically revenge himself on the individuals and institutions that had prosecuted him for crimes or otherwise thwarted him."

"A whole sector of mainstream media now functions as spirit mediums attempting to interpret Trump’s actions to try to fit them into the context of competent leadership and coherent and consistent agendas. If there was a coherent agenda, it would be a destructive one, a malevolent one."

"It feels as though there is a desperate need to normalize and sanitize Trump on the part of so much of the traditional media and that These reporters and editors themselves want to feel like things are sane. And so they tell themselves, okay, things are getting saner again. And we have seen over and over and over again with Donald Trump that that never happens."

Over the past two decades, the Roberts Court has pioneered and perfected the practice: #Sanewashing
—defined as “attempting to minimize or downplay a person or idea’s radicality to make it more palatable to the general public”
—It has become a prominent, if entirely underappreciated, feature of the Roberts Court.Relying on judicial sanewashing, the Roberts Court has ERODED:
#due #process protections,
political #accountability,
and civil rights,
while simultaneously #consolidating #power for itself, corporations, gun owners, Christian conservatives, and state officials who owe their political influence to heavily gerrymandered districts.All this has been accomplished while the Roberts Court has sought to present itself as a neutral, nonpartisan institution, free from corporate interests and policy preferences and guided solely by constitutional and democratic principles.
As the Roberts Court has transformed into a #conservative policymaking body, it has maintained that it is merely fulfilling its constitutional mandate.
The judicially sanewashed opinions of the Roberts Court haven’t been limited solely to sanewashing the law;
-- Often, they also involve extensive sanewashing of the facts too.
For example, in tandem with whitewashing the anti-racist purpose of the Reconstruction Amendments in Shelby County v. Holder,
the Roberts Court also recast former Confederate states subject to the #Voting #Rights #Act, or VRA, as aggrieved and mistreated, and in need of legal protection by the Court.According to the sanewashed facts in Shelby County, the VRA was no longer necessary because racially discriminatory voting practices were “rare”
and the remaining sections of the statute would be sufficient to protect minority voting rights.
In the decade since the Court offered those tepid reassurances,
states formerly subject to the VRA’s preclearance requirements have passed an avalanche of discriminatory #voter #suppression laws
as the Roberts Court has simultaneously sought to further weaken the law.
🆘 The Court is now prepared to strike down the remaining vestiges of the statute it promised would remain in place to ensure voting rights remained protected.Similarly, when sanewashing the First Amendment to recognize new speech rights by corporations to engage in unlimited political spending in #Citizens #United,
the Roberts Court tried to assure a skeptical public that dismantling decades of campaign finance regulations would strengthen the integrity of elections and allow voters to hold officials accountable.
🔥Fifteen years later, the ruling has unleashed a torrent of unregulated corporate spending in American politics,
enabling #superPACs to raise limitless funds from corporations
and undisclosed donors to exercise an outsized influence on election results.
⭐️Between 2010 and 2024, political spending by super PACs grew from $62.6 million to $4.1 billion.Americans are so disgusted with #darkmoney in politics that an overwhelming majority supports a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.ERO

SaneWashing hace el otro…( ¿Si proponés más fracking, más litio, más petróleo, más soja no estás loco?
Sobre SaneWashing :
«sanewashing . Sane: por sano, cuerdo, sensato . Lavado: por blanqueo , blanquear o disimular algo. Podríamos definirlo entonces como el arte de blanquear lo insensato.»
«Dar un aire de sensatez a lo que no es más que una locura»
«El sanewashing consiste en minimizar los aspectos percibidos como radicales de una persona o idea para hacerla más aceptable para un público más amplio. El término se acuñó inicialmente en debates en línea sobre la desfinanciación de la policía en 2020, pero ha cobrado mayor relevancia en la crítica a las prácticas mediáticas relacionadas con Donald Trump en las elecciones presidenciales estadounidenses de 2024. Organizaciones periodísticas y comentaristas de medios han sugerido medidas que tanto lectores como escritores pueden tomar para mitigar el sanewashing.»
Son varias notas adonde aparece ese concepto!
«El jefe de The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, lo llama sesgo hacia la coherencia. “Funciona así: Trump suena como un loco, pero no puede estar loco, porque es el candidato presunto a la presidencia de un partido importante, y ningún partido importante nominaría a alguien que está loco”, escribe en su boletín. “Por lo tanto, es nuestra responsabilidad suavizar su retórica, identificar cualquier atisbo de significado, tomar a la ligera sus declaraciones extrañas y racionalizarlas”. Rebecca Solnit tiene una etiqueta mejor: sanewashing. “Su incapacidad para ser coherente queda prácticamente oculta para el público, a menos que estén escuchando directamente o leyendo medios alternativos”, dice. En nuestro esfuerzo por mantener el sentido, por gestionar la disonancia cognitiva que domina la campaña, estamos haciendo luz de gas al lector. Esta situación, hasta entonces paradójica, se volvió insostenible cuando esos mismos medios le cortaron la cabeza a Biden por perder el hilo en el debate presidencial del 27 de junio en la CNN.»
Lo de Luz de Gas suena algo feo, como a traducción automática!
«Hacer luz de gas,[1] del inglés gaslighting,[2] es una expresión que hace referencia a un tipo de maltrato emocional en el que una persona manipula a otra[3] para que esta dude de sus percepciones y cuestione su propia realidad.[4][5]»
Otra definición, tal vez un poco más clara:
«En esta campaña se ha acuñado el término “sanewashing”, que es la traducción que hacen los medios de comunicación de las palabras de Trump a un idioma cuerdo. Sobre todo los progresistas, por miedo a parecer sesgados con lo que sería la transcripción literal de sus desvaríos, digresiones, cambios de tema, obsesiones, frases sin final coherente y, por supuesto, mentiras e insultos. Pero en esta campaña los políticos republicanos están haciendo gran parte del trabajo en entrevistas televisivas. Sobre todo el candidato a la vicepresidencia, J. D. Vance, que se ha convertido en el Traductor en Jefe de Trump. Todas las escenas siguen un guion parecido: primero se niega que Trump haya dicho tal cosa con un “enséñame la cita”. Se la enseñan, porque existe, y luego se intenta explicar lo inexplicable. Por ejemplo, Vance aseguró que la expresidenta del Congreso, Nancy Pelosi, no es uno de esos “enemigos interiores”. Pero es que a Trump le preguntaron directamente en otra ocasión, por clarificar, y dijo que sí, que Pelosi lo es. Y así con todo.»
«Para situarse en un terreno intermedio, los llamados medios de comunicación tradicionales, que están vinculados a intereses empresariales, tienen miedo de perder el acceso al poder y desean mantener un tono de moderación y continuidad, han decidido recurrir a las paráfrasis. Los berridos racistas, xenófobos y misóginos y las frases incoherentes de Trump pasan a ser declaraciones fluidas y racionales. La técnica tiene un nombre: sanewashing, dar un aire de sensatez a lo que no es más que una locura. Varios periodistas —entre ellos Paul Krugman, excolumnista del periódico— han acusado a TheNew York Times de caer en ello.
Los grandes medios de comunicación, colaboracionistas.»
Más cercano, Claudia Piñeiro lo define, usando las columnas anteriores:
«Más allá de Hustvedt y Trump, por estos pagos los ejemplos sobran. Suelen ser palabras sueltas o usos metafóricos que describen un largo arco de lo repudiable. Podemos mencionar: “mandriles” –que nuestro presidente usa para señalar que son animales que tienen su parte trasera colorada–, “degenerados”, “infradotados”, “mogólico”, “mis rubias voluptuosas”, “ser siniestro”, “repugnante”, “hijo de re mil putas”. En cuanto a las metáforas, son abundantes las referidas a orificios anales violentados que necesitan “Adermicina” –un producto utilizado para tratar las hemorroides–, las referencias al tamaño del miembro viril de un burro, o las alusiones a algún que los que no pensamos como nuestro presidente tenemos algún elemento extraño adentro –un palo, una estaca, o lo que fuera– que los supuestos vencedores nos introdujeron por la fuerza a través de orificio de nuestro cuerpo. »
Y si, es todo un tiempo horrible y me quedo pensando:
¿Cuál es el adjetivo para quienes justifican la explotación de litio, petróleo, fracking, soja, etc. etc. diciendo que con eso vamos a crecer y todos seremos menos pobres?
Y eso es algo que une a la extrema derecha y a los progres Lula quiere extraer petróleo de la desembocadura del Amazonas! Algo que es sumamente peligroso para todo ese inmenso ecosistema!
¿Cómo se les llama a las personas que justifican todo ese riesgo o minimizan el colapso climático que se nos viene/(¿vino?) encima? Como las terribles lluvias en Buenos Aires
Ejemplos de ese específico tipo de Sanewashing En casi todas las emisiones de Radio Con Vos»Comentario recibido vía Mastodon:
«Ops, es un buen punto.
Esto del «sanewashing» suena a un caso típico de intento de criticar en base a una superioridad moral (en este caso, basada en la «razonabilidad»: «ellos están locos, nosotros no»). Y claro, siempre esto tiene patas cortas.
Porque, en este caso, hablar de «sanewashing» tiene tres premisas:
- la ultraderecha basa su discurso en disparates;
- hay quienes, pese a saber esto, los minimiza, por conveniencia;
- a nosotros, que denunciamos tanto los disparates como a quienes los minimizan, nos asiste la razón.
El problema es que:
- a. es verdad,
- b. podría serlo o no (no es seguro que quienes minimicen los disparates de la ultraderecha lo hagan sabiendo que son disparates y no creyendo, al menos en parte, que son cosas razonables) y
- c. es claramente un tema de autopercepción, con lo cual no es una premisa válida para ningún argumento.
Digo que es un tema de autopercepción, porque, por ejemplo, los ultraderechistas también pueden pensar que les asiste la razón (de hecho lo piensan y lo dicen), sin que esto impida que efectivamente digan centralmente disparates.
Por otro lado, la razonabilidad de muchos que no son de ultraderecha es totalmente discutible, cuando, como bien planteás, hablan de fracking, litio y soja como soluciones no disparatadas. Todos temas con los que, curiosamente, la ultraderecha… está absolutamente de acuerdo.
Por lo cual, lo que distingue a la ultraderecha de buena parte de sus adversarios no es que diga disparates, sino que, además de los muchos disparates que comparte con ellos, dice otros particulares que le permiten tener hoy una ventaja política respecto de sus adversarios. Casi un temita de envidia, ya que en otras tantas cosas están desde siempre de acuerdo.»

"Normalizing the abnormal is sadly normal for so much of the mainstream press. The NYT has done some terrific reporting and had some great opeds on Trump. But this framing, all too typical, is deeply dangerous. Imagine if Biden had given this kind of speech how they would’ve…."
~ Norman Ornstein quoted by Greg Dworkin
-
Ho quotes Charles Pierce, who calls New York times "a normalizing machine" for Trump.
And Mark Jacob:
"It’s remarkable how often a New York Times story will state the facts clearly and the story’s headline will twist itself in knots to avoid telling that same truth in a clear manner. I’m convinced that it’s an intentional tactic to avoid accusations of being slanted."
