@baseballjones18 The hosts whose shows I appear on and to whom I pay attention were saying the same thing publicly as privately. Tucker, for instance, made a huge deal out of the fact that he wanted Sidney Powell go to on his show to provide evidence and she refused.

The US media, 2001-17: We must radically restructure our foreign policy and civil liberties to vanquish the existential threat of Al Qaeda.

The US media, this week: Meet the glamorous, reformed, media-trained, wise, diverse, borderline-woke AQ leader prepared to govern Syria.
The US Govt and its US corporate media partners can fundamentally rehabilitate anyone it needs to overnight:

US, 2012-2022: The Azov Battalion is a gravely dangerous, fascist, neo-Nazi threat to the West.

US, 2022-24: Azov fighters are reformed, moderated, genuine heroes. Image
After seeing things like this so many times, how can you do anything other than laugh:

Left-liberal Twitch streamers and YouTube shows knew that to attract a pre-election audience (money), they had to tell their viewers Kamala was *clearly* winning.

So they randomly anointed a random Twitter user, @Ettingermentumv, into a data guru, who assured them all of it.
For months -- including just a couple weeks before the election -- this fraudulent partisan data guru kept saying the polls were wrong, the polling experts were wrong, the secret numbers he saw made clear that Kamala wasn't just ahead but ahead by a good distance. Image
This is as much a problem with partisan independent media as partisan corporate shows: they have to validate their viewers' desire to believe things even if untrue.

So after all the profit and Substack subscriptions were sold by this fraud, he wrote his "I-was-wrong" confession: Image

"That there’s more affinity between Democrats and the Cheneys than Democrats and the Rogans and Theo Vons of the world says a lot."

It says a huge amount. It's long been clear that the Dem/neocon alliance -- that goes far beyond Trump -- is a key to understanding US politics:
The belief that Joe Rogan and those like him are just an updated Fox News -- a non-stop messaging of right-wing ideology -- is beyond stupid.

Those podcasts grew organically: in part because they're not ideological or partisan. They're normal conversations: how humans speak.
Depicting Rogan as a far-right ideologue is something only those who never heard his show would say. AOC separated from Bernie's campaign after Bernie touted Rogan's endorsement.

He is a vehement defender of same-sex marriage. He believes in full freedom for adults' personal lives. He frequently argues that corporate power is suffocating the lives of ordinary people, etc. etc.

The most consequential - yet overlooked - Trump era change is many debates are no longer shaped by old left/right divisions, but instead by who loves, respects, and is loyal to institutions of authority (Dems) and who believes they're fundamentally corrupted (Trump supporters).
Today's NYT column by @ezraklein notes obvious exceptions (abortion, gun control), yet argues the key difference between Kamala and Trump voters is how much one likes US ruling institutions.

Hence, Dems love CIA, FBI, DHS, corporate media. Even views of corporate power changed. Image
@ezraklein Think about key debates. Which is right or left?

- Trust in large media corporations.
- Opposition to BigTech/state internet censorship.
- Opposition to funding endless wars (Ukraine).
- Eagerness to remain tied to NATO and EU-based institutions.

While many people in the West believe that Russia/Putin are "isolated" - because their media tells them that -- 2 dozen world leaders are in Russia now for a 3-day BRICS conference.

BRICS itself includes the 2 most-populous countries and 4 of the top 10 most populous.
Beyond the founding 5 (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), it expanded to 5 more (including key US "partners" Egypt, UAE and maybe Saudi).

They "account for 45% of the global population" and 28% of global economy.

Key goal: a financial system independent of US dollar.
There's Western skepticism and even mockery that this huge confederation of countries -- united over perceived abuses of US/EU sanctions -- could create a non-dollar system. @TheEconomist takes it seriously.

Either way, this is not "isolation" of Putin:

Inacreditável que Alexandre de Moraes esteja constantemente concentrando em si próprio a figura de suposta vítima, investigador policial, promotor e o juiz - em seus próprios interesses.

Não há democracia onde uma pessoa pode investigar criminalmente o jornalismo que a reporta.
"Todos temos medo do superjuiz Moraes, menos aqueles que são os seus puxa-sacos" -- @lf_ponde, na @Folha.

Pondé sobre como Moraes não tem limites em seus poderes, e todos, exceto seus adoradores, têm medo de questioná-lo.

@lf_ponde @folha Aqui também: um ótimo artigo de @lygia_maria sobre a visão perturbada e perigosa de Moraes, a marca registrada de uma mentalidade tirana:

Que qualquer crítica ou questionamento feita ele é em si "um ataque à democracia" e, portanto, um crime.
