"WaPo should apologize for endorsing Pam Bondi. There were plenty of red flags before she became Trump’s fascist enforcer."

Wajahat Ali reminds us how the corporate media are continuing to behave as the clown-show fascism (Michael Tomasky's term) rolls out:

"At the pathetic and groveling White House Correspondents’ Dinner over the weekend, the mainstream media’s remoras assembled to engage in mutual verbal fellatio and enjoy the 'glam' during the ascent of fascism."

CBC reports: "By all accounts, 48-year-old Lynette Buhler was the picture of health. The single mother dedicated her life to her children & the elderly patients she cared for in her job at a nursing home ...

But in late February, Buhler, who lived in Qu'Appelle — about 57 kilometres east of Regina — picked up a flu bug & was sick enough she had to miss her final two shifts at the Regina care home where she worked."

But no indication if she was vaccinated.

"The central feature in the U.S.—a cult of personality in which the erratic, chaotic, and unhinged leader runs roughshod over its people—has nothing to do with Democrats. We cannot blame the small 'd' democrats (or the large 'D' ones either) for extremism or intransigence simply for insisting their fellow countrymen recognize objective reality and respect democratic norms."

"If you didn’t know better you would think 'polarization' descended from on high, a plague for which no one party is responsible. This deliberate obfuscation of our political situation suits the corporate media’s obsession with moral equivalence and contrived balance."

"But what happened on Monday is merely the next logical step in an ongoing coup—and our failure to call it such at every opportunity allows it to fester and spread, even as tens of millions of Americans look away or are frightened by the chaos inflicted by Trump's wholesale assault on the federal government."

But did he do anything about the lies his network is telling?

"Part of the reason they’re unaware is their own fault. They should be aware. It’s a luxury to be unaware of what’s happening in the government. ...

"The legacy media isn’t telling them what the threat level is. And that’s the thing that I think I have the most problem with."

"We must adopt a war-like effort to shifting away from America, on all fronts, militarily, diplomatically, economically, and towards closer relations with democratic allies."

Hey New York Times, and Washington Post, why don’t you read the onion and learn journalism?

Extraordinary that no news outlet is covering EloNazi's officially documented (regular) consumption of ketamine, cocaine, ecstacy and LSD* while he's destroying the now Fascistic States of America.

* admitted by the Nazi himself and/or according to unsealed court filing documents

Ugh. “Liberal newspaper“ The Guardian has published an article about musician Beenie Man being allowed back into the United States after a 10 year ban. They completely neglect to mention his history of violent homophobic lyrics that spurred the ban. Why? pulitzercenter.org/stories/jam #lgbtqia #guardian #mediafail #dancehall

"The press needs to stop treating politics like a game of electoral mathematics and start treating it like what it is: a serious business with real consequences for democracy and human lives. When the president starts talking like a mad emperor, that's the story, not how many House seats his delusions might hypothetically affect."

"When the New York Times treats talk of annexing Canada as just another policy proposal to analyze, it's failing its fundamental duty to inform the public about what's really happening."

Corporate #media is deranged or complicit or both. Most people should be deeply embarrased and ashamed to be in the industry. #MediaFail 📣

You can tell which media outlets are defending oligarchy based on those talking about the substance of Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show vs. the reporters talking about his jeans. #mediafail #notlikeus #donotcomplyinadvance
