Wolodarski writes that the White House has become the most powerful troll factory in the world:
"Peter Wolodarski: Vita huset har blivit världens mäktigaste trollfabrik"
https://www.dn.se/sverige/peter-wolodarski-vita-huset-har-blivit-varldens-maktigaste-trollfabrik/
> Det pågår ett krig mot sanningen. Efter att Ryssland inledde kriget har USA under Trump anslutit sig.
Once you decide to be a defender of democracy instead of a scared rabbit this one is simple:
RNC weighs limiting NBC’s access at this summer’s convention >>> https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/28/rnc-nbc-convention-ronna-mcdaniel-00149620
NBC should just call their bluff, and say OK, if we don't get full access we won't cover your convention at all.
AND the other networks should back them up and tell the RNC that everyone gets full access or they aren't covering it either.
Enough of this garbage!

It's not insane, but it is incredibly dangerous. By decimating objective truth and replacing it with his unreality he binds them to himself as the arbiter of everything. An omnipotent ruler incapable of error because he creates his own actuality. They accept that whatever he says is fact. This is what the most extreme cults do.
Very true. Though Rosen says the media is getting better about identifying untruths. The more sublet point is that they still report these untruths, albeit as untruths, but in so doing normalize dishonesty as a viable political strategy. The net effect is still to abdicate their role as defenders of the truth and by extension as defenders of democracy.
NYU Journalism Professor Jay Rosen is one of the smartest people on the intersection of media and politics. A couple days ago he was interviewed for this podcast about the NBC Ronna McDaniel matter: https://newrepublic.com/article/180118/nbc-meltdown-ronna-mcdaniel-hiring-fiasco
This highly recommended discussion, which could be co-title The War On Truth, is essential to a broader understanding of the media today as it tries to apply normal methods to a candidate and party that fundamentally play by different rules.
"The escalating campaign — led by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and other Republicans in Congress and state government — has cast a pall over programs that study not just political falsehoodsbut also the quality of medical information online."

"Academics, universities and government agencies are overhauling or ending research programs designed to counter the spread of online misinformation amid a legal campaign from conservative politicians and activists who accuse them of colluding with tech companies to censor right-wing views."

"The Putin GOP wants misinformation to reign as we head into the 2024 election. Without lies, they can’t win most competitive elections, and they want to keep those lies safe from fact-checking, regardless of what accurate information the voters need or the damage they inflict on our nation."
~ Thom Hartmann

Until our media ties together the fossil fuel industry's #WarOnScience to what has happened to our modern GOP and their voting base we're not going to be able to win the #WarOnTruth
@AndrewHenry @croselund
These next few elections all around the globe are going to be our species' most important ones in history because of the #WarOnTruth that the fossil fuel industry is waging in order to protect their polluting profits imo.
@Pineywoozle @petergleick
Yes, the #WarOnScience aspect of their #WarOnTruth has been quite deadly sadly.
@LALegault
The covid and anti-vaxx anti-science crap is just part of their longterm #WarOnTruth in order to help block #ClimateAction I'm pretty darn sure.
Y'all know that this virulent anti-science crap about covid and vaccines is just part of their long running #WarOnTruth in order to help them to block #ClimateAction right? https://www.mediamatters.org/sean-hannity/sean-hannity-suggests-without-evidence-bronny-james-cardiac-arrest-was-caused-covid-19
@chu @cdaringe
The 'Merchants of Doubt' documentary is a pretty easy way to get an introduction to their #WarOnTruth
The #WarOnScience has picked up a lot of pace lately not least of which was ELoon's purchase of Twitter to help repress it and our 118th Congressional House here in the U.S. has had hearings pretty much trying to push for malinformation to be "protected speech" monthly for their fossil fuel overlords since the GOP took control. https://youtu.be/aOPufRX5UtI
@CelloMomOnCars
The #FossilFools have seen the writing on the wall that their age of obscene profits may soon end so they're pulling out all of the stops in their long-term #WarOnTruth

@CommercialSolarGuy @solar_chase
For example, I know that Jesse Jenkins is relatively intelligent and well-educated and I'm glad that he's finally acknowledging that Toyota is a climate science denying corporate shill for the fossil fuel industry so then it's confounding why he doesn't recognize ELoon's #WarOnTruth
