Hey Corporate Media:

[Chasstev365]

* If President Biden had made up a non-existent agreement between Israel and Iran that "would last forever", you would have been calling for the 25th Amendment to be involved to remove the old man. So, why do you ALWAYS give the old man Dementia Don a pass?

* Has anyone in the corporate media stated THERE WAS NEVER AN AGREEMEN; Trump just made it up?

1. Indeed

Rec for visibility

2. The corporate media is a big reason we have TSF

If Biden had done one millionth of what Trump has done, they’d be calling for his resignation.

4. The corporate media is the biggest reason we have Trump

They've been in love with him from the start and his second term is basically them gushing endlessly about him.

The billionaire class looked at the country and decided they were sick of bleeding the working class little by little over decades, they wanted to take everything all at once and permanently. So they took control of the media and installed Trump to get it all for them and then cement political control for the for seeable future. None of it would be possible without first taking control of the media.

And when I say everything, I mean everything, they are coming for it all. They are coming for your health care, social security, 401Ks, your home, they're coming for the rest of your benefits and vacation, and they're coming for your wages. They're even coming for your weekend, they consider workers having weekends off to be a liberal conspiracy.

And they're flat out saying this stuff out loud now. GOP senators and congressmen in recent weeks have said people are going to have to accept that social security is going to be cut, they've said people that are retired need to get back to work, they've said people are going to have to accept less health care. They're trying to end public schools and universities. Environmental regulations are on the block, but they're also ending worker safety laws and worker's rights. Everything middle America holds dear is being taken.

5. Capture of the media

is one of the major keys to establishing fascism. Capture of the judicial system is another. Both for obvious reasons.

7. We are way further down this road than most realize

We already have a system where minority rules. Trump barely won the popular vote and only because they stopped millions of people from voting. The majority of the country hates his policies.

They no longer have to worry about answering to voters. It's actually rigged now. 2026 is the last chance, Dems lose that election and the last hope is gone and we will not vote ourselves out of this fascism.

9. Good assessment of the situation.

Sounds like we are in dire circumstances, and we are. 2026 is our only hope.

8. Well, the corporate media's love for money is the reason.

They couldn't care less who it is, just that the clicks happen and the money rolls in.

Since the orange gibbon is a self-contained circus, they adore him for his attention-getting behavior.

They ride that coattail right to the bank.

[Johnny2X2X]

15. More than just that

The media is owned by the billionaire ruling class and they picked Trump to do their bidding for them. So while some negative coverage is still there, you're seeing flat out hero worship of almost everything he does right now. If you haven't noticed his "historic and bold strike on Iran." "His stunning cease fire deal." "His amazing parade."

Virtually everything he does right now is not just normalized now, it's put in a light of hero worship, it's incredibly frightening. Trump has turned ICE into a politically motivated hit squad and the media things it's awesome. ICE is going to round up Trump's enemies and the media will talk about how "strong and historic" it all is. He's getting media coverage right now that Putin gets in Russia.

3. But we have freedom of the press, not freedom from the press.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

6. The media has shackled itself to the GOP's hind leg. Freedom of the Press? It's right up there with Freedom Fries.

[DownriverDem]

10. Forget the corporate media

Go to YouTube (free one) and search for MeidasTouch. They will keep you up to date. Then other liberal voices will come up too.

[llmart]

13. I've been watching CBC News and BBC.

I refuse to give any of my time to our media and that includes NPR.

[Lucky Luciano]

14. Meidas Touch is extremely sensationalist

Every clickbait video they make gives the impression that trump is on his political deathbed. Glad they’re on our side, but…

I like Ezra Klein’s podcast though.

11. Look at the sickening price this country is paying...

...so that mainstream journalists get to put their feet up while the news reports and opinion pieces just write themselves (hope you read this, Maureen Dowd and David Harris).

The corporate media have a hell of a lot more to answer for than the mouth-breathing trump voters do---after all, the media types are presumed to have something above single-digit IQ's. The non-stop slack the media have cut trump stands in glaring contrast to the massive, non-stop trashing they dished out to Biden and Harris, particularly during the campaign. Absolutely unforgivable.

[Tribetime]

12. Yes and they are the main reason why we are in this spot right now

Instead of having President Harris
