Tried to find an article celebrating the fact that @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris are going to have the smartest cabinet since Kennedy’s, and all I found was divisive hackneyed shit reporting. I thought we were past that.
Do your gaddam jobs.

I guess the war for truth continues, and it’s up to unpaid Twitter activists to do the media’s job.
In 2016, I relentlessly wrote about the shit media coverage of the election. Here’s my first post-election piece:

1/ The headlines blare, “Greed is Good Again!” Can shoulder pads be far behind?
As corporate controlled media says “Ka-ching!”
While Breathless Manly Reporting on potential cabinet posts lurk above the fold, the World Mourns its Dignity.

2/ Despite winning the popular vote by (to date) nearly 3,000,000 ballots, Our Future Lady President gracefully conceded victory to the #gop knuckledragger because the Electoral College (Wealthy Land Owner insurance against the Great Unwashed) says so.
3/ Despite soul crushing devastation, I am able to be strong for a surprising number of my male brethren. They seem the most devastated by this loss. I guess for the Routinely Marginalized, nothing’s shocking.
4/ My daughter’s tears, however, broke my heart. She’s the strongest woman I know, and I felt so inadequate.
I took up this war with my pen on September 17, when an investigator I know told me the #gop knuckledragger was going to win. I said, “Not on my watch.”

5/ The equation was simple for me: not a Pageant Owner. Not that.
I knew it would come down to homophobia, abortions, guns, bigotry and fear, and self-loathing women and the men who loathe them. A rounding up of the Usual Suspects.
Well, here we are.

6/ At least when I glanced at a newspaper headline with an accompanying photo declaring #MEINTRUMPF had won, I noticed that the tip of his very long blue tie lurked below the fold. At least that.
