The media (non-Fox/Murdock) seems solidly behind Biden. That's important

[NRaleighLiberal]

and comforting. Whether print (WA Post, NY Times), web (CNN, TPM, Slate) - does the orange asshole wannabe Tsar have any media in his corner at the moment?

I don't watch TV - are they similarly standing firm and calling out the bullshit?

1. if he hadn't stupidly bashed smashed & trashed journalists...

...and called them "fake" and every other insult for 4 years non-stop every single day, he wouldn't have this problem. That imbecilic speech he made at 2:00 in the morning election night would not have been cut-off by almost every network except CNN and Fox if he had treated the media with respect or at least a little civility. Nope. They got to ridicule the hell outta him and they enjoyed it. He's payin' for it now.

2. Yes. It is comforting.

More comforting is the fact that most world leaders already recognize Joe Biden as the duly-elected next President of the United States.

3. yes, that too.

I still can't believe that they are trying to pull what they are doing. Simply unimaginable. Beyond ignorant, beyond crass.

4. Their devotion to our republic is definitely in question.

And I don’t like that AT ALL.

Fine, be a greedy-ass, bigoted, intentionally-ignorant, self-interested Republican. I can deal with that, but when you threaten the bedrock of the republic, it’s an entirely new ballgame.

(That comment was not directed at you, obviously.)

5. well, we certainly live in unusual times...about to turn 65 and this is the peak of bizarreness

from what I've observed in my life.

trump and today's republicans are all on my hate list - and I am typically not a hater!

[Progressive Jones]

8. Same here. I'm a couple years younger than you, and this

is the craziest I've seen things.

The thing is, this won't turn around because Trump's gone. His whacko base will still be here.
Others like Trump will try to follow him into the WH. This political war will go on for some time.

6. The thing is, about 47.5% of the country...

...would consider that the “Lugenpresse” (“lying press,” Hitler’s term for non-Nazi journalists). Remember the 2016 Trumper slogan: “Noose. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required.”

7. They were pro-fact before the election too

That didn't stop 73 million people from voting for the deranged covid-spreader.

Doing the exact opposite of what is reported by respected media outlets is now a foundational principle of the Trump right.
