So this is the state of our corporate media today

[senseandsensibility]

If you mildly criticize Charlie Kirk's speech you are immediately fired by the only "liberal" network on TV.

If you say that homeless people should be involuntarily euthanized, no one at the most watched "conservative" network objects. Not even the other talking heads on the panel with you. It's all good.

This is where we are in 2025 and I only see it getting worse, unfortunately. If anything, journalists seem to be learning the wrong lessons from this administration.

1. I would call it "Murdered by the State, even if committing no crime, let alone a Capital offense"

Euthanasia, at least in the common parlance, implies an act of compassion. KILLmeade meant it in no such way, obviously

Other than that, 100% THIS!!!

[senseandsensibility]

2. Yup

I was just using his exact words which are terrifying enough (to me, anyway).

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

5. "Involuntary lethal injections"

And Charlie Kirk advocated for televised public executions. These people aren’t just fascist, they are full-on Nazi goons!

[doc03]

3. That $4 trillion tax cut for the rich would probably be

enough to build then a place to live.

4. Good point.

The sheer cruelty of this "comment" by Kilmeade is going to get some blowback I think. Not enough, but I think they're going to have to address it somehow.

6. I'm sinking deeper and deeper into severe depression.

I have a feeling I'm not alone. The main focus is that realistically we will have to endure this for over 3 more years, at least. I'm a realist and it sucks a lot.

[senseandsensibility]

8. This is a low point for me too

I find the failure of journalism to be especially depressing. Just when the Dem leadership seemed to be finding its footing, journalists seem to be going the extra mile to act as surrogates for maga. Even on MSNBC.

9. At the risk of invoking Rush Limbaugh, ditto.

The mental heath system stands as another tribute to Ronald Reagan. Seeing the smug fucker on Fox and Friends took it out of me. Every day is s new low.

[BigmanPigman]

11. I directly name that asshole in my rants

Everything goes back to that vile piece of shit!!! We have Fux "news" due to him, on top of 1,000 other shit stains we have to live through 45 years later.

When he was shot I was in art school in NYC and all the other students on my floor were glad. It was 100% different than when John Lennon was shot. We were only 18 but we knew Raygun was a motherfucker.

[Quanta]

12. For some strange reason

I get the feeling this isn't going to last the full term. Not to get all "woo" but something tells me he is gonna be out in one way or another before too terribly long. Unfortunately, it's also telling me that as a nation, we may have to rebuild in a radical new way to survive. Or, fortunately, depending on how you look at it. Still gonna get worse before it gets better though, and that part sucks for sure.

[BigmanPigman]

13. I think James Carville was correct

a few weeks ago when he commented on tRump's bruises, health decline, etc and he said that when the fucking moron finally accepts the fact that he will not live much longer or be able to hide himself from public view AND his poll numbers tank even more with the incredible inflation effecting his base he will destroy the US. He is an egomaniac and a baby. If he is going down he WILL want to get even and take the US with him.

He is the most VENGEFUL monster ever created and I definitely see him doing this.

[Shipwack]

14. One of the few times I've agreed with Carville lately.

My solace is that while he is surrounded by yes-people and sycophants, they want to keep on living, and will quietly ignore sector drop nukes or something equally disastrous.

Data point: the Army Corps of Engineers didn’t completely obey his order to completely open up that reservoir valve as ordered. That would have caused massive flooding downriver, destroying homes and killing people.

7. There is no liberal network

If there was they would have a different morning show and would not have fired Joy Reid.

10. After how MSM is handling the Kirk shooting

How are they going to treat us running up to the next election? Beginning to think the only way
we can get any favorable coverage at all is large rallies protesting things like the Epstein files.
Go picket FQX noise headquarters for all their lies, etc. and make sure the other networks
get there to interview us.

MSM needs to be dealt with before it's too late.

[Aussie105]

15. Unfortunately the American MSM is becoming less and less unbiased and given to balanced reporting.

Some of Russia's media are prone to this, just a mouthpiece for government propaganda.

Kirk's murder is just a blip on the radar of deaths by shooting in America, but if an outlet devotes the first 20 minutes of its evening news to it, while putting school shootings at the back of the news, you know what executive, top level biases at the media outlet are at play.

Non critical treatment of Kirk's philosophy now and in the past tells its own story too.
That very much comes from the top as well.

It is a slow decent into irrational insanity, made popular by Trump and his followers.

There are still unbiassed media, but those are overseas, like the UK BBC.

[Blue Owl]

16. Time to turn that fucking shit off. Permanently.

TURN. IT. OFF!!!

[progressoid]

17. One point. Most of them aren't journalists. They are media personalities...

[myohmy2]

18. corporate media...

...doesn't represent our values, views or interests and we'll never benefit from the money we give them...

...I think we need to find a way to fund our political Party, media and security independent of corporate involvement...

...centralized wealth has become one of our main problems...it controls everything it touches in a way that is detrimental to our collective interests, security and wellbeing...

...

19. Agree with all your points

but a free press is just as important as a fair judicial system in maintaining our democracy. So yes, we can boycott the corporate media and support independent media. I'm all for that. But if the majority of voters get their info from the corporate media and we just stay in our separate media spaces without engaging in their propaganda efforts we will soon see ALL major channels and newspapers resemble FAUX news (or worse). I believe that the small amount of pushback mainstream corporate outlets receive from the left is all that keeps them from that. And in order to push back, we have to know what they're saying.
