This is just weird and creepy. Why are they all posting identical language about how proud they are to work at the Washington Post, like from a script handed down by a cult leader? ImageImageImageImage
They're still doing this. More and more: all saying exactly the same thing with the exact same words, publicly professing their love for the Washington Post in identical language. This is not healthy behavior. Why are they doing this? ImageImageImageImage
I suppose this is how these WashPost reporters have decided to condemn @feliciasonmez for her 5 days of maniacal attacks on her colleagues and attempt to get several fired, but it's bizarre how they all use the same coordinated cryptic language and waited this long. Cowardly.
The Post's @feliciasonmez is now mocking all of her newsroom colleagues for using identical language to defend management against her.

May this never end! The vindictive sociopathy of these vipers on vivid display here is what prevails in all of these liberal corporate outlets. Image
The Washington Post's civil war continues. Long may it rage.🔥 ImageImage
The utterly unhinged insanity you're seeing drive this five-day Washington Post civil war is the prevailing ethos at all of these liberal corporate media outlets, most elite campuses, etc. It just usually gets contained before the public can witness it in its full derangement.

UK Court hands Assange a partial victory in the Biden DOJ's attempt to extradite him.

US must provide explicit assurances that Assange 1) can raise a 1st Am defense, 2) will have the same rights as US citizens and 3) will never face the death penalty.

Deadline is April 16.
In the meantime, Assange remains in Belmarsh, the high security UK prison where he has been held for 5 years.

Every press freedom and civil liberties group in the West has urged Biden DOJ to drop this prosecution as a grave threat to press freedom:

The goal is not to bring Assange to the US.

Biden WH doesn't want the sideshow of a trial; daily protests; discovery into CIA; Assange on the stand; Biden as the first-ever president to imprison a publisher.

They want to kill Assange through conviction-free imprisonment.

NBC negotiated a contract with Jen Psaki while she was White House Press Secretary.

ABC hired George Stephanopoulos -- directly from the Clinton WH, with no journalism experience.

All these networks hire operatives from the US Security State.

It never prompts this melodrama:
This is obviously such a more extreme case of mixing media and state:

Genuinely hilarious:

WSJ says MSNBC won't put Ronna McDaniel because it would upset their liberal hosts and audience.

MSNBC is drowning in political hacks, including Jen Psaki and Michael Steele.

But what they can't have is dissent regarding Trump.

How dare the US President weigh in on a war he has caused American citizens to finance, arm and support!

Look at the mentality of these Israel fanatics: the duty of American citizens is not only to finance Israel's military and wars, but also never question what Israel does:
Biden has devoted his career and adult life to being one of DC's most loyal and unyielding defenders of Israel (see below).

He voted to send billions over decades. After Oct 7, he armed Israel and demanded $17 billion more.

But nothing is enough:

One of Obama and Biden's last acts before leaving the WH was a record-breaking $38 billion aid package to Israel.

Biden has repeatedly had the US isolate itself from the world at the UN to protect Israel.

The bombs Israel uses in Gaza are given by Biden and paid for by the US. Image

Perfect New York Times headline.

Perfect expression of predominant US liberal ideology.

Perfect illustration of the subservient relationship between corporate media and the US Government.

Yes, it's designed to be "playful": to humanize the most powerful agencies.

Just as "free speech" now codes as a right-wing value, so, too, do criticisms or denunciations of FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, etc.

Just check your favorite left-liberal politicians and/or media figures and see how rarely those entities are critiqued. They're seen as allies.

Believing the Israel/Gaza war began on Oct 7 is as ignorant as believing the Russia/Ukraine conflict started in February, 2022.

Israel has been blockading and bombing Gaza continuously for 2 decades.

Israel bombed Gaza 2 weeks before Oct 7, and shot 5 Gazans on the same day.
The 2.2 million Gazans have lived in a literal, not a metaphorical, prison for 2 decades.

In 2002, Israel destroyed its airport. Israel kills them if they try to leave by sea. The borders are shut - by Israel and the US-supported Egyptian dictator.

Who would tolerate this?
Gazan children are dying of starvation: the single worst and most painful way to die. There is no doubt about this.

Mass famine is inevitable. Blaming Hamas - as if they now govern Gaza - is an insult to your intelligence.

Israel explicitly vowed to block food from entering. Image

Imagine how dumb Victoria Nuland thinks everyone is that she feels comfortable saying with a straight face: "We will do what we have always done, which is defend democracy & freedom around the world..."

As fraudulent as the Iraq War was, more lies were told in Feb. 2022.
Through 2022, these people assured us that the Russian economy was near collapse, the ruble would be dust, Russia was on the brink of running out of bullets, the world united against them.

It's hard to overstate how much the Russian economy is thriving:

As just one example: US/EU sanctions have been such a gigantic failure that even Morning Joe this week devoted 6 straight minutes -- purely using economic data -- to lamenting how vibrant Russia's economy is and how much stronger they are militarily:
