If I hear the mainstream media, PBS or NPR...

If I hear the mainstream media, PBS, or NPR, use the word unprecedented one more time I’m going to vomit.
He pardoned violent January 6 terrorists . He and the Republicans are standing by while American citizens are being murdered, and while people who are here, legally are being put in concentration camps. He has fired all the generals who would refuse to obey an unlawful order.

This is not unprecedented. This is what fascist and dictators do. This is how Putin has been running, Russia. What do you all think is gonna happen during the midterm elections? He and the republicans have told violent people that they have no worries because he will pardon them. Yet, mainstream media, PBS, and NPR, are still acting like this is politics as normal.WTF ?

1. The media is now the REAL Fake News

They're gonna capitulate because he has brazenly weaponized the FCC.

It's not just unprecedented, it's un-American...

More like anti-American

5. Yes. The media is now nothing but a propaganda machine.

BOYCOTT

6. What do people expect from a Media

that is 95+% owned/operated by Uber Rich Republicans or Republican Corporations????????????

A modern day, Russian PRAVDA with Fox News awarded the contract for their State Owned and operated Media Giant

They continue to massively gear up the assault on immigrants, and the Republicans just released 500+ Million to re-open a corporate owned, private prison on the outskirts of Denver........I am sure that will be happening across the entire U.S.

17. Yeah, I mean...

Real news... fuggedabout it.

10. How would you know what's going on if you "boycott" "the Media"?

DU GD posts without links?

[ananda]

14. You go outside the USA.

There's good media in other places.

[yardwork]

2. Thank you.

The media continue to present a "both sides" framing that is ridiculous.

[maxsolomon]

11. that is journalistic objectivity.

it's a flaw of the form.

[mdbl]

3. Well said.

We need to write the news outlets directly and remind them.

[popsdenver]

7. If you haven't been observing the

past 46+ years, and esp the last 10 years, the media doesn't have a care what you do............

[mdbl]

16. You can still try and shame them

Whether they listen or not.

4. Repubs consider choices. Dems struggle with choices.

Who will replace Platner. And who will replace Lindsey.

On NPR we struggle, they consider.

8. Unprecedented is usually code for treasonous or criminal.

Not sure that it's reasonable to expect institutions that rely in part on both public spending and public licensing to call the chief executive a traitor and a crook, even when it's the obvious truth.

9. When the history of this period is written . . .

the first chapter of course will be about the spineless capitulation of the Republican Party. But the second chapter will be about how the media facilitated this by regularly and repeatedly sane washing everything this monster says and does. All the while hyper-focusing on any minor gaffe from the Democrats in order to push the "Democrats in disarray" meme. The mainstream media is now pretty close to the propaganda arm of the the Trump (mis-) Administration.

13. I disagree to an extent...

The first and primary thing killing America is, was and ever shall be Reaganomics. That disaster is STILL steering the ship of state into every possible barricade at flank speed.

The second line item will be the death of consequences for financial malfeasance and graft. From the S&L scandals to the Housing Market implosion to the Pandemic related theft to Trump and his family of horrible thieves and imbeciles we have sat through a decades long march of consequences for the poor and freedom to horde, steal and exploit for the rich. If you have enough money, there is no law that you cannot break and no morally repugnant acts you can't hide or pretend never happened.

These things set the stage for the GOP to drop to its proverbial knees and begin servicing the Trump abomination...

[Scubamatt]

15. Tough to disagree . . .

with your observations; good points all!
