“Starting from the assumption that of course the party out of power is in favor of creating a financial collapse, the press continues to normalize radical, internal attacks on U.S. security.”
“News outlets prefer to dance around the disturbing truth by spreading the blame around and claiming the looming debt crisis is simply “legislative gamesmanship,” as the New York Times recently stressed.”
“The Times’ Michelle Cottle insisted, “Getting the bill through the Senate should be a relatively simple matter. Neither party wants a shutdown in the midst of a pandemic.”
Categorically false. Today’s GOP is emphatically in favor of defaulting on the debt during a pandemic”

“Millions of conservative Americans are being brainwashed about the pandemic, and thousands are killing themselves in the process. Yet the media downplay the huge story, framing it simply as “vaccine hesitancy.””
“the press shies away, nervous about offending conservatives by portraying them as mindless zombies being easily duped about a miraculously safe and effective vaccine
Instead of calling them out, the press coddles them depicting them as “vaccine hesitant” and “vaccine skeptics”
“The press loves to feature women when compiling lists of Beltway Bad Bosses. Yet hard-charging men in politics earn points for behaving exactly how the women do when they get singled out for running “dysfunctional” operations.”
DC elites will rush to defend Trump voters every chance they get
we have a demented, mob-like minority in this country that’s actively getting people killed via Covid, and people like Tapper are upset by Biden’s “tone”
“The friendly Trump voter coverage in recent years deliberately failed to pull back the curtain and reveal even small glimpses of today’s manic, demented, anti-mask and anti-vaccine mobs.”
“Five years ago, the press made excuses for Trump’s bigoted base by claiming they were motivated by “economic anxiety.” Then news outlets spent years courting them in cozy diners. Now they’re Covid zombies, and the press missed the story.”
Reminder: no other country on the planet has to deal w/ an organized, deep-pocketed movement committed to extending pandemic the way US does via GOP/Fox News
press plays dumb
millions of conservative Americans are brainwashed.
