One month ago this cicada skin of a newsletter led with ecclesiastical praise for Sean Hannity, falsely claiming he changed his tone on the vaccine based on a viral out-of-context clip on twitter

Last night Hannity said the vaccine doesn’t work. Not one mention of it here today
This is what they wrote about the clip they saw without watching Hannity’s actual episode in which he (multiple times) doubted if vaccines work and talked about someone who had bad side effects from a vaccine one time

Wouldn’t last night also be a “new tone” then @politico?
CNN went kind of nuts heralding Hannity as a vaccine daddy without doing a bare minimum research job to see what he was really saying — surely these responsible journalists will see last night’s Hannity and report on this sudden new change in tone back to anti-vaxxing, yes?
Any interest in updating your stories @AlisynCamerota @Acosta @AliciaMenendez @RyanLizza @rachaelmbade @tarapalmeri @EugeneDaniels2 ?

This anti-vax show is on every night and available to watch with basic cable or the following day with TV capturing services
Whoopsie-doo, looks like Fox has changed its tone again - is this worth telling your audience or is it too embarrassing to admit you may have misread this story entirely because you don’t actually watch Fox because doing the research is beneath you

This morning CBS’s @FaceTheNation has booked three Republicans and zero Democrats

One of the Republicans is Ronna McDaniel who pushed the Big Lie and tried to throw out Black votes in Michigan. It’s her second appearance since trying to do so

This is how GOP propaganda works
This show has also repeatedly booked Lindsey Graham, one of Trump’s most mendacious Big Liars, in its campaign to erase Republicans’ history of pushing the lie. @CBSNews has endorsed the GOP’s misinformation campaign and faced zero consequences or accountability for it
This is a CPAC lineup laundered through the trusted news brand of a company that is run by Republicans who work every day to make you forget that Jan. 6 ever happened. @margbrennan has assured every Republican who comes on that she will never bring up their involvement

Recently @politico platformed Dan Crenshaw live, pushed GOP BS on Obama’s bday bash, and heralded Ron DeSantis and Jim Jordan

Now they’re giving a Trump covid merchant of death:
-angel wings
-free PR for charity work
-a platform for covid/election lies
-attaboys from SEAN SPICER
The URL for the story is “redemption profile” and smashed among 200-word-burst tick-tocks of Michael Caputo totally organically volunteering with children totally 100% organically is the reminder that the guy responsible for killing thousands actually has done nothing wrong
This is a “what I did this summer” essay to warmly present a reality-denier as good because Politico’s new default is trading on its Obama-era legacy as a (once true!) smart behind-the-scenes publication to now rehabilitate Republicans under the mask of “what insiders are saying”

CBS’s @FaceTheNation is the new home of the Big Lie: On Sunday @margbrennan is platforming Brian Mast, an election denier who voted to overturn the results *after* the insurrection

@CBSNews has been hosting election deniers and whitewashing their role in spreading the Big Lie
The media is rehabbing Brian Mast by using Afghanistan to wipe his history of spreading the Big Lie. They ask him to attack Biden and never mention that Mast lied about the election, because they want you to forget he did. @CNN did this yesterday and the @washingtonpost last week
CBS News is currently run by Republicans. One of them is their political director who worked for six Republican senators through 2016 when she was abruptly made the CBS political director with no news experience, because CBS wants you to believe Republicans’ talking points

Politico @playbookdc says Biden can’t be trusted on Afghanistan because for 20 years the government lied about Afghanistan

Yesterday Playbook gave a 25-minute platform to Dan Crenshaw who spread the Big Lie and tried to overturn the election. He didn’t get one question about it
Politico’s pattern of framing Democrats as dishonest but Republicans as trustworthy—in the middle of a misinformation campaign carried out by the GOP—is a remarkably under-covered media story given that when Politico started it was heavily and warmly profiled by big news outlets
Politico, which has no memory of being lied to by Donald Trump for four years:

Fox has been openly reciting white replacement theory — the anchor bolt of white supremacy — since Trump endorsed the Charlottesville nazis who chanted “Jews will not replace us”

Journalists unfamiliar with Fox should call this white supremacy, not just “anti-refugee rhetoric” ImageImageImageImage
Most journalists who cover republicans don’t watch Fox other than occasional clips that go viral on twitter because they’re exceptionally racist. Fox hosts smearing refugees isn’t unusual—their constant coordinated white supremacy is the story, not “look what they did last night”
The press’s inevitable unwillingness to call this what it is — the same way they wouldn’t call Trump racist — is their tacit gift to Republicans who know they can spray their audience with carbon copy nazi manifestos and enjoy being described by mainstream outlets as “firebrands” ImageImageImageImage

White House reporters love this guy for his celestial analysis; behold with your mortal eyes as the dean of the press corps ascends to an extraplanary realm and accesses the deepest part of his throbbing Sylvian fissure to proclaim a lightning hot take about, what else, optics
When Trump was president Mark Knoller never offered an opinion but instead repeated Trump’s lies every day as if they were true
Just a relentless stream of bullshit from Mark Knoller doing the work of the Trump White House to spread outright lies with no fact checking whatsoever because he worked for CBS and supported Republican propaganda
