1. this isn't just about Twitter cowardice. this is about powerful media institutions across the board refusing to stand up to Trump for three years.

i'll give couple key examples. pressrun.media/p/twitter-you-…
2. 100+ newspapers demanded Bill Clinton *resign* from office bc he was "unfit" to serve the nation.

today, those newspaper remain silent as a mad man roams West Wing. pressrun.media/p/west-wing-ne…
3. for six weeks TV news aired hundred-plus hours of Trump pandemic briefings, even though they were filled with dangerous lies, along with petty partisan attacks; pressrun.media/p/to-protect-a…
4. these are not mom-and-pop shops we're talking about. these are billion-dollar global media enterprises that have spent three years bowing down to the most consistently unpopular president in US history
5. key point: in all three examples (Twitter, newspaper, TV news) nobody from any of the media outlets has even tried to defend in public their Trump actions. bc they all know it's indefensible.
