A🧵
Corporate media is failing to inform Americans of the criminality, harms & danger of Trump. Publishers & Editors expose their biases by what they prioritize, exclude and frame on their #FrontPage

#TrumpArraignmentDay Edition

What do you think of A1 @nytimes ?
@froomkin Image
.@nycscribe and NYT Editors chose this photo. Stoic Trump, Flag

“Momentous” is that good or bad?

@MarkJacob16 @JeffSharlet
I guess Fred Ryan & WaPo think a photo of Trump and a plane are informative? Note the “Not Guilty” equals “Trump says” framing.
Did @SallyBuzbee see the goddamn photos we saw of our National Security documents in a bathroom shower?
Why this frame WaPo?
@tomwatson @AndreaChalupa Image
Look here at @NYDailyNews

This has more context than WaPo and NYT! Image
Even Rupert Murdoch’s propaganda rag @nypost included useful context and info! Did you know yesterday was also Trump’s 77 birthday?!

(Thank you Rupert).

@onthemedia @BLStrangfeld @Will_Bunch @nhannahjones Image
“Uncharted Territory”

(Uncharted criminality). Image
Note how @pharostribune used the artists sketch of the event and not a plane. Nice work!

@thehill with requisite Trump favorable pic and frame Image
“Historic arraignment” or “historic criminality”?

Nice to show folks besides pro-Trump demonstrators. Image
Kudos to @USATODAY for the frame of “historic charges” not framing the day as being “historic”

@jayrosen_nyu @Heidi_Cuda @protecttruth_ @EricHoppe4 Image
Wow here’s A1 ‘Trump says’ “Not Guilty” but at least did not use random plane photo (note campaign banner in photo below to text his grift!) Image
.@nytimes A1 looked “like” a campaign ad here’s the @jerseyjournal doing one better.

Is this an “in kind” donation to the Trump campaign?

@chaunceydevega @brianstelter Image
This is an earth-shattering frame. “Former President” Image
Value by @HoustonChron to center “37 counts”. Image
Remember how “lock her up”imagery was amplified by corporate media in 2016?

Here’s a sign reminding he pleaded not guilty to Espionage Act violations and “lock him up” Image
Front pages are central to how news orgs frame and influence. WaPo and NYT continue to make egregious editorial decisions.

Here’s @SallyBuzbee

@jdawsey1 @AshleyRParker recent travesty A1 WaPo on other Trump criminality and charges.

@KarlBode
Do you remember when Republicans hijacked the debt limit to extort America?

That was “drifting” in case you forgot.
Bottom line. We need you to help support more-informative and pro-democracy media and journalists.

Help us #FixMediaNow

Here’s one of our priorities: invest in Local Journalism

.@AliSwenson does a better job than most outlining the reality that M4L is a RW astroturf. 285 chapters in 2 years in 44 states? Ask any grassroots organizer, this is impossible without major funding and organization. Yet @AP and Swenson deliver a frame that undermines clarity. Image
After describing M4L as if they are real grassroots for 12 paragraphs, @AliSwenson delivers the reality. This should be the first paragraph! Science shows that frames, as conveyed by headlines, affect our perception of the rest of the information we read in an article. Image
Kudos for interviewing Maurice Cunningham who was tracking the fake grassroots Moms For Liberty from the beginning, but @AliSwenson, any intention of clearly describing the group is undermined by your bizarre choice of a bothsides, false equivalency at the top, privileging liars. Image

A🧵
@nytimes normalizing coverage of DJT is as dangerous as that of #CNN

The #FrontPage NYT influences moderates/liberals/journalists.

Today an A1 abomination of gaslighting, whitewashing & normalization of DJT:
-continued assault on truth
-fascism and danger

@JeffSharlet Image
4 NYT journalists shameful in their erasure of Trump’s criminality, &firehose of INTENTIONAL disinformation.

The online headline is gaslighting us.

TRUMP IS INCOMPATIBLE AND AT WAR WITH AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. That is the story not “breaking norms”
@anatosaurus @froomkin Image
This is an accurate opening graph. BUT the entire piece fails to convey any of the “stakes” or harms such as the end of American democracy.

This could have been a #ChatGPT summary of the #CNN entertainment show masquerading as informing America. Image

A #DebtLimit 🧵
@nytimes Publisher @AGSNYT runs NYT as a Republican-protection racket.
Front page framing/gaslighting by @jimtankersley
That normalizes/accepts GOP strategy of abusing the debt ceiling as “politics”
@NormOrnstein @MarkJacob16 @taraemcg @jayrosen_nyu Image
This is a GOP-manufactured reckless, damaging crisis. It is not a @JoeBiden crisis. By centering Biden and omitting details about how the debt ceiling functions - and context the NYT protects the GOP.
“Barrels” because the @GOP is willing to destroy the American economy. Image
“Both sides-ism” hides and protects EXTREMIST GOP positions, harms and inability to govern.

These are institutional decisions to favor Republicans (at the expense of truth) by Editors esp @nycscribe

Legacy media has a pro-Republican bias.

Reagan staffer & WaPo Publisher Fred Ryan runs @washingtonpost as a Republican-protection racket.

“Drift” ??passively as if by random? -Tony/WaPo Editors

Hey @froomkin help us make sense why in a 217-215 vote to push America towards a catastrophe @Santos4Congress casting what could be considered a deciding vote” to pass the legislation is not a part of the conversation? He +the GOP cheated to win.

The front page of @nytimes is a window into its priorities. Today an affront against democracy by
-minimizing GOP war on women and democracy
-fascism 2024

@AGSNYT runs the NYT as a Republican-protection racket.

A Mini A1 🧵
@MarkJacob16 @ElieNYC Image
A1 top right prime front page was selected by editors for Wisconsin “news analysis”.

Serious Q: Anyone know how this is not “opinion” masquerading as “objectivity”? Is this a thing?

Thoughts?
@Sulliview @protecttruth_ @MarkJacob16 Image
This “news analysis” fails to center the GOP war on the rights of Americans and how there is a massive difference be D/R. But @reidepstein is now “analyzing” for NYT readers as if shilling for @DraftKings Reid: abortion rights are not a Democratic “strategy” -they are values!

.@NPR has just written an advertisement for Nazis under the guise of reporting on the problem of white supremacist hate groups.

Don’t believe us?

A 🧵…starting with this positive headline.

@MrOlmos, @jimurquhartpixs what are you thinking? What was your editor thinking?

1/ Image
The headers above the sections, about NAZIS (!), read:

-Finding people with like minds

-A nice way to go about it

-Projecting power

-“It’s a good way to relate to normal people”

-The face of hate

Barring one, these might as well have been written by a PR firm. 2/ Image
According to Fascist Quarterl— er, we mean @NPR, the Nazis are a scrappy, admirable bunch of go-getters with the gumption to “punch above their weight and get noticed.”

@MrOlmos @jimurquhartpixs and your editor, what on Earth are you doing? 3/ Image
