The “democracy dies in darkness” paper has a 9,000-word profile of domestic terrorist Kevin McCarthy framing him as a master tactician and granting credibility to Jim Banks and Jim Jordan—who *still* lie about the election—by asking them for positive quotes as character witnesses
A story that media reporters could look into is how @washingtonpost staffers react privately to lifetime Republican publisher Fred Ryan’s influence in editorial decisions
Jan. 6: “History will remember”

Oct. 23: “Jim Jordan says Kevin McCarthy has a gold N64 and we’re all going to his house after school to play it”

Chuck Todd opens Meet the Press by endorsing Republicans’ anti-vax misinformation campaign to blame Biden for not returning everything to normal
Your parents are getting GOP propaganda beamed into their eyeballs and they don’t even know it, because that’s how good GOP propagandists are at hemming their message to the Chuck Todds in the media who are already inclined to want Democrats to be punished
Chuck Todd frames everything that anti-vax and pro-Jan. 6 Republicans do as a strategic move — “seeing an opening” — regardless of their immediate history and current role in lying through misinformation campaigns to convince people that the election and covid are fake

Meet the Press is actively engaged in a misinformation campaign to refurbish the image of every white supremacist who intentionally killed 700,000 people with covid and tried to overturn the election by ending democracy

This is 100% bullshit and @chucktodd wants you to buy it
@chucktodd This person deliberately spread covid misinformation knowing it would kill people. She enjoyed her role in destroying people’s lives and families. She is a heartless modern propaganda minister who will never face a consequence. @chucktodd wants to make her an NBC contributor
@chucktodd Chuck Todd gave 9 minutes to a white nationalist and didn’t challenge her once on any lie she told while she worked in service of America’s rising fascism movement. He asked her what she thinks about 2024 and said “thank you for coming on and sharing your perspective with us”

Face the Nation just now boosted this clip from Sunday specifically because right-wing covid deniers are circulating it on the RNC feed and calling for Fauci to be fired. This is how GOP propaganda works: corporate media and bad-faith actors working together for the same goal
The “war on Christmas” false narrative colliding with “fire Fauci” is a right-wing dream that @CBSNews is intentionally fueling
The sole reason @FaceTheNation did this was because they saw the RNC tweet doing numbers and they thought “we can help”

DEMOCRATS BANNED: @chucktodd once again invited only Republicans onto @MeetThePress

Chuck Todd booked Bill Cassidy to push GOP talking points and refused to have a single Democrat on to balance him

Since Jan. 6 Todd has booked the following Republicans on shows with 0 Democrats ImageImageImageImage
This is how right-wing propaganda works in plain sight:

This week @chucktodd admitted that he prefers Republican newsletters. Then on his top-rated Sunday show he invites a senator who pushed the Big Lie, identifies a GOP operative as an “analyst,” and blames Biden for covid ImageImageImageImage
Meet the Press presents only GOP viewpoints because it’s hosted by a centrist Republican who despises liberals and wants to use his influential platform to let his Republican friends brainwash your family into thinking the GOP is good. He refuses to give Democrats a fair rebuttal ImageImageImageImage

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
