Corporate Media


We've had some issues with the media lately. Even for a while now. They are driving narratives and for them it is, essentially, clickbait over country. We saw it with HRC's buttery males. And now they are literally going all in on the Biden stories. Regardless of truth - and they have been caught in multiple lies now. Not just Fox or OAN. But CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NY Times, WaPo, Sinclair ... corporate media. (I'm not arguing the legitimacy of the discussion, only that they are pounding it into the ground. Even Beryl didn't budge it. People still without power, Abbot MIA but not a peep. Anyway...)

Currently a lot of the media outlets are owned by active Trump supporters. Those who aren't, are still multi millionaires and billionaires.

From what I am seeing, they are putting their business interests and profit above everything else. Even over the very country they exist in. I'm not prone to conspiracy theories however it is more than just a coincidence at this point that Trump's BING BONG BOOP moments aren't being shown far and wide but we are endlessly discussing Biden's alleged impending embrace of life as a piece of broccoli. Regardless that his administration is still clocking victories. Even Project 2025 - the most searched political topic is barely making a showing. Maybe one article per site. One. Maybe.

If this is the "news", then they are failing us.

Who agrees with David Zazlov? That we need more deregulation and more consolidation?
"Not just Fox or OAN. But CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NY Times, WaPo, Sinclair ... corporate media."

I'd suggest ANYONE using ANY of these as a primary source of "news"... Go as fast as you possibly can and buy a Great Pyrenees.
 
I think it's more likely that even the media knows they can't whitewash all the lies at the DNC convention. It truly was nothing but lies.
Pssst! Miss, your biased slip is showing. Everyone can see your... lies!
 
Huh, AP is supposed to be one of the (slightly left leaning) media gold standards. Maybe the headlines were actually the same, and a bit of a dry joke, since everyone knows if trumps lips are moving he’s lying.
I think the media has given up on Trump's daily Gish Gallop of falsehoods, and have rationalized that as "Trump's gonna Trump".

Any "tough questions" posed to Trump is met by either a pivot to white grievance talking points and/or "you're a terrible person". Did you see that hissy fit I posted the other day of Trump lasting exactly one question with Piers Morgan, who had the temerity to opine that Trump actually lost (gasp) in 2020? Trump tried three times to pivot to stolen election than started screeching "you're a fool! You're a fool!" over and over (HisArpy style) then ripped his lapel mike off and order the cameraman to stop filming as he lurched unsteadily to his feet.

Just the kind of world leader you want carrying around the nuclear football codes.
 

Corporate legacy media is completely dropping the ball. Can you imagine what people like Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley or Edward R Murrow would say about this absolute train wreck of a person?
 
He has come a ways from not protecting heads of arrestees entering police cars

Corporate media is in the bag for DonOld; full stop.

🤬

I refer to the media as drug dealers. They sell the drugs fear, anger, and hate to addicts. The addicts buy the sponsor's products and the sponsors pay the dealers.

Like all drug dealing operations it's very profitable.

Oops, They Did It Again: The Mainstream Media Buries Trump’s Outrage​

The former president spent the weekend spewing dangerous nonsense at a rally. The press spent its weekend polishing it into palatability.

It’s a pretty sad commentary on the way our mainstream media cover Donald Trump that if you really want to know what Trump said at a given rally, you would be wasting your time going to The New York Times or The Washington Post and you really need to read Aaron Rupar.

Who is Rupar? He’s a liberal Substacker and prolific tweeter who prints all the news The New York Times doesn’t deem fit to print. The latest case in point is Trump’s weekend rally at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin—an appropriately named venue for a speech in which Trump was barking out hatred and bile like a mad dog.

If you’re the sort of person really steeped in campaign coverage, you may have read about what went down; if you missed it, spoiler alert: Trump said something at this rally so insane and offensive that even the Times finally roused itself to cover it. Trump called Kamala Harris “mentally disabled” and added: “Joe Biden became mentally impaired; Kamala was born that way.”

Meanwhile, here are some other things Trump said at the rally, which you had to read Rupar’s X feed to know about.

“These people are animals” (referring to migrants).

“I will liberate Wisconsin from this mass migrant invasion of murderers, rapists, hoodlums, drug dealers, thugs, and vicious gang members. We’re going to liberate our country.”

“You gotta get these people back where they came from. You have no choice. You’re gonna lose your culture.”

And, finally, this gem: “They will walk into your kitchen, they’ll cut your throat.”

Yup. This is the shit he says and you wouldn't know it by watching ALL major news outlets.
 
The corporate media has “sane-itized” DonOld and the MAGAts for the sake of their bottom lines.

👎

🤬
 
So where's the coverage of the "shoot shoplifters on site" policy?

Askin' for a nation.

Is it like a turkey shoot? I’m sure Wat and Kyle Shittenhouse would love to meet up and rub their guns together before they shoot people for sport.

People like them would probably cheer this on.

All while claiming they are for law and order.

Nothing like being the criminals one claims to hate.
