Here’s Politico Playbook stating it has no idea how to cover the rise of fascism in the GOP—“what are we supposed to do, just write about how brilliant Biden is?”—while simultaneously running a stream of positive stories about how brilliant Jim Jordan is and Kevin McCarthy is and
Find yourself a respectable model of salvaging democratic norms that wishes a happy birthday to murderer-autocrats and fascist white supremacists
Good Journalism is copy-pasting right-wing organizations’ descriptions from their websites without researching what they actually are, please stop BADGERING us to write about joe biden’s handsome looks
The day after Madison Cawthorn called for “bloodshed” to overturn the next election at a white supremacist rally on Aug. 30, Politico Playbook — a collection of hyperlinks to political news items — didn’t even mention it happened

Not sure a CNN anchor who repeatedly hosts Trump’s propaganda director Alyssa Farah on her show as an expert analyst without once mentioning her role in silencing Fauci and coldheartedly spreading covid misinformation to fuel the pandemic is an impartial voice on this
“I trust this person who dispassionately destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people by feeding them easily disprovable lies because my job to suss out the truth is secondary to the goal of giving Republicans who hire TV agents a shot at being a network contributor”
“The media was appropriately tough on Trump” says the journalist who has never once mentioned that the Trump propagandist she brings on her show pushed the Big Lie

Once again @chucktodd invited *zero* Democrats onto Meet the Press today

This is a GOP propaganda show that pushes right-wing orthodoxy every week, prohibits liberals from offering a balanced counterpoint and rewards people like Tate Reeves who push the Big Lie with more airtime
Chuck Todd is a Republican who uses his top-rated Sunday show on NBC to talk to his Republican friends about why Democrats are bad. Since January 6 he has repeatedly put only Republicans on his “news show” and blocked Democrats who want to appear to provide an opposing view
This is a consistent pattern on Meet the Press that follows the booking strategy of Fox News: invite Republicans onto a friendly platform, allow them to say whatever they want (“abortion is murder,” “mail-in ballots are fraud”), and don’t offer a Democrat a rebuttal. It works

Jan. 6: "History will remember"

Nov. 21: "Good morning Senator Cruz, welcome to @FaceTheNation"

Today CBS News endorsed the Big Lie, giving Cruz *13 unchallenged minutes* to say the election was stolen

This news outlet wants you to think it's legitimate to believe Trump won
This is not journalism. @margbrennan gave Cruz a platform to deny the election. She then asked "are you going to run for president in 2024?” and after he said Democrats are pushing "open borders" and "killing jobs," she said:

“All right senator, sounds like a campaign slogan"
Face the Nation since January 6:

"The election was stolen"
"The election was stolen"
"The election was stolen"
"The election was stolen"

NBC and CBS are endorsing the Big Lie

On Sunday @chucktodd is using Meet the Press to host Kevin Cramer—who appeared on MTP a year ago to deny that Biden won the election (11/22/20)

On CBS @FaceTheNation is hosting TED CRUZ—a repeatedly proven liar who incited the Jan. 6 attack
Both of these bookings are explicit endorsement of the Big Lie. To invite Republicans who pushed anti-democratic misinformation—in one case *on your own show* and in the other case *at a rally encouraging the execution of Democrats*—is the media telling you “they are credible”
CBS News in particular has been a friendly home to election deniers. This year they invited Lindsey Graham, Ronna McDaniel, Steve Scalise and Kristi Noem. These people all tried to literally throw out votes to overturn the election. @FaceTheNation says their claims are legitimate

Hello I'm Chris Christie, my new book is called "Saving the Party from Truth Deniers and Conspiracy Theorists," here I am today talking to Maria Bartiromo who as of this moment has spent over a year screaming about a stolen election. Thanks to everyone for taking me seriously
Hello I'm Chris Christie, I've written a book about how to save the Republican Party from conspiracy theorists, I'll be spending all day in the Fox News building hanging out with my friends who, like me, believe Barack Obama was born in Kenya. Thanks for not bringing this up
Hello I'm Chris Christie, self-proclaimed expeller of conspiracy theories from the Republican Party, promoting my book here on Fox & Friends where they spend every day telling people the covid vaccine zaps your semen with Muslim nanobots. Thanks for having me on

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”
