Republicans are actively working to destroy Democracy, how can there be ANY other story in the news?

1. N/T

[Botany]

2. "It is a war plan. It is aimed at destroying American democracy."

Sorry this will get zero coverage because it is not about a missing blond girl.

[Rebl2]

6. So true

[malaise]

3. How?

Check who owns M$Greedia - that is all

[Locrian]

20. indeed

I'm "shocked" that billion dollar media companies, sympathetic and dependent on advertising dollars from the defense, pharma, etc are not reporting on the corruption in the government.

shocked I am, just shocked....

[malaise]

21. You too?

[Locrian]

22. me too yep

Gosh it's almost like the media etc is the *same group* of wealthy people that are wrecking democracy.
Almost as if they were purposely misleading us.

Isn't that weird?! huh

[NoMoreRepugs]

23. (It was a rhetorical question)

[malaise]

24. LOL

25. LOL

4. At any given time

there are millions of things happening in the world. This is but one of many. Unfortunately, this is how a lot of dirty deeds go unreported or unaddressed.

But I have started to see some evidence that this topic is starting to reverberate/be covered some within the hard-core political community (but obviously not on Fox News). If it gets any "mainstream" media coverage, it won't be until closer to the midterms and it definitely will be news the first time a Republican Election official or state legislature overturns or otherwise corrupts a clear election win for the Democrat.

5. Agree. This needs to be dealt with stat.

...

[C Moon]

7. Agreed

[Trust_Reality]

8. There is no other logical explanation for their behavior.

But it is very difficult to wrap our heads around. It is a different paradigm.

[Marius25]

9. Because the media sides with Republicans.

They make more money from Republican chaos than Democratic stability.

[johnthewoodworker]

10. Our country is run by wealthy, fascist people. They run the media.

The media will put McConnell and Lindsey on in a heartbeat who continue and lie.

[gojoe12]

11. Did anyone actually

read the six point plan? I just did and found nothing new in there.
You decide

12. That isn't even A story in the news

they choose to spin it as Biden Fails to Convince Republicans.

And I have no idea how to fix it.

[Johnny2X2X]

13. Normalizing the absurd

Watch what happens. The GOP will flat out steal the election in 2024, and then when Dems protest and get upset the media will paint them as being the same as the 2020 Stop the Steal anti democracy maniacs.

[Politicub]

14. Well, I was shocked that there wasn't more of a reaction to Texas effectively

nullifying Roe v. Wade. That should have been the ultimate of wake-up calls.

So while it disturbs me that people aren’t more concerned about structural changes to ensure fascist rule in the U.S., it doesn’t surprise me.

15. TFG has taught Republicans to be deadbeats like he is

Republicans are willing to burn our democracy to the ground to maintain their vise grip on power.

[NullTuples]

16. A: Because Caitlyn Jenner was on The View

And that is where we are as a society and as an economy.

[RockRaven]

17. Because corporate media isn't trying to educate or inform you.

They don't have your interests, or the interests of the American people in general, in mind in the slightest.

[Jon King]

18. I could not care any less about Afghanistan.

Of course do what can be done diplomatically to help the Afghan women and children. But this hearing is a joke.

Health care, infrastructure, Social Security going bankrupt, climate change, child care costs....those are issues that matter to Americans, not this waste of time hearing.

[kairos12]

19. Media prizes ratings above all else.

They would think Hitler was good ratings.

[traitorsgalore]

26. That and their covidiot germ warfare they're committing against Americans

And their treason on 1/6 and all the traitors that planned and supported it.

I hope a few red/dead/covidiot states secede as soon as 2022, the U.S. would be a great country again if they did.

[triron]

28. Like Texas.

Maybe trade it to Mexico.

27. Rachel made some pretty caustic remards of the medias treatment of this.

Basically said much of media is 'burying its head in the sand'.
