Corporate media is failing to inform Americans of the criminality, harms & danger of Trump. Publishers & Editors expose their biases by what they prioritize, exclude and frame on their #FrontPage

#TrumpArraignmentDay Edition

What do you think of A1 @nytimes ?
@froomkin

.@nycscribe and NYT Editors chose this photo. Stoic Trump, Flag

“Momentous” is that good or bad?

@MarkJacob16 @JeffSharlet

I guess Fred Ryan & WaPo think a photo of Trump and a plane are informative? Note the “Not Guilty” equals “Trump says” framing.
Did @SallyBuzbee see the goddamn photos we saw of our National Security documents in a bathroom shower?
Why this frame WaPo?
@tomwatson @AndreaChalupa

Look here at @NYDailyNews

This has more context than WaPo and NYT!

Even Rupert Murdoch’s propaganda rag @nypost included useful context and info! Did you know yesterday was also Trump’s 77 birthday?!

(Thank you Rupert).

@onthemedia @BLStrangfeld @Will_Bunch @nhannahjones

“Uncharted Territory”

(Uncharted criminality).

Note how @pharostribune used the artists sketch of the event and not a plane. Nice work!

@thehill with requisite Trump favorable pic and frame

“Historic arraignment” or “historic criminality”?

Nice to show folks besides pro-Trump demonstrators.

Kudos to @USATODAY for the frame of “historic charges” not framing the day as being “historic”

@jayrosen_nyu @Heidi_Cuda @protecttruth_ @EricHoppe4

Wow here’s A1 ‘Trump says’ “Not Guilty” but at least did not use random plane photo (note campaign banner in photo below to text his grift!)

.@nytimes A1 looked “like” a campaign ad here’s the @jerseyjournal doing one better.

Is this an “in kind” donation to the Trump campaign?

@chaunceydevega @brianstelter

This is an earth-shattering frame. “Former President”

Value by @HoustonChron to center “37 counts”.

Remember how “lock her up”imagery was amplified by corporate media in 2016?

Here’s a sign reminding he pleaded not guilty to Espionage Act violations and “lock him up”

Front pages are central to how news orgs frame and influence. WaPo and NYT continue to make egregious editorial decisions.

Here’s @SallyBuzbee

@jdawsey1 @AshleyRParker recent travesty A1 WaPo on other Trump criminality and charges.

@KarlBode

Do you remember when Republicans hijacked the debt limit to extort America?

That was “drifting” in case you forgot.

Bottom line. We need you to help support more-informative and pro-democracy media and journalists.

Help us #FixMediaNow

Here’s one of our priorities: invest in Local Journalism
