Where's the media at?

[duforsure]

They should be telling viewers why hasn't the TFG shown any proof of his claims of election fraud? Why didn't he show this in court before a judge? Because he's lying and can't, and just like he did with the birther issue, and with Hillary, and Biden, he never does because he can't. Its all lies from this serial liar, just like his claims of his being a billionaire, its all BS. Just like his false accusations against others of things he's done, its his pattern, his tell. The media needs to show this a lot more how he's doing this to them.

1. Totally! Jim Acosta does a pretty good job, occasionally Chris Hayes too, but it should be main

Stream..all the time

[True Blue American]

15. Jim does.

Even the hosts I used to like are joining the crazy train! Trump, Trump, Trump.

I just read an article that Trump is doing the same thing Bin Laden did as he spiraled down. Bin Laden’s high was 9/11, Trumps high was Jan 6. I should post that link.

[PortTack]

22. That would be interesting to read should you post it

[True Blue American]

23. Here you go.

It was in the Palmer report.

2. The media is too busy

Wallowing in the,” Oh, look what Trump said today,” bit to give us real news. I am sick of the constant pretend outrage so they can show clips of Fox News over and over.

[True Blue American]

13. So true!

Worst part is many are blaming Biden. No matter where you look it is inflation and Biden.

[appalachiablue]

24. Hyping inflation so people are more worried about that than

losing democracy.

5. If you are expecting any of "the media" to do anything

Like journalism instead of filing airtime between ads for drugs we never knew we needed, you are certain to be sadly disappointed.

I fail to understand the continuing surprise and hand wringing about our “media.” They are failures and will continue to be so as long as they have an audience.

Turn them off and never look back.

6. What I suspect is that none of the corporate MSM is truly interested in democracy

that is egalitarian and supports other than their owner's interest.

That is not to say that there are not bright embers but that all the owners of MSM news sources essentially define the bounds of acceptable discussion of their listeners and run out the clock.

This is almost obvious.

[Jarqui]

7. The media is controlled by people benefitting from the

GOP tax breaks.
Big corporate want the GOP in control for their own personal financial reasons.

Six entities control about 90% of US media.

It is a big reason why Trump got elected in the first place.
It is a big reason why Trump continues to be perceived as having a hold on the party (though I think they'll dump him before 2024)

The people who enabled Trump are the problem. Trump is merely a symptom of the problem.

8. Here are some links to where the media talks about the "Big Lie"

"'Big lie' brings ever-bigger consequences: The Note"

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/big-lie-brings-bigger-consequences-note/story?id=79876528

"Legacy of lies -- how Trump weaponized mistruths during his presidency"

"But many took a decidedly darker view. His critics and even a number of supporters say something far more sinister and pervasive was at work -- Trump weaponizing misinformation, or and even lies, to achieve his goals. The president advanced falsehoods on everything from the mundane to what some called the "big lie" -- that the 2020 election was stolen, a repeated assertion that ended in the Capitol siege."

The Big Lie has created an environment in which some Republicans say they feel obligated to respond to fears of election fraud. But their responses—both legislative and rhetorical—are eroding democracy, not bolstering it."

There are man more examples but I don't want to spend the next couple of days providing links to them.

10. Ofc the mass media, meaning the Alphabet networks talk about the coup, mostly

in online articles…but don’t talk about how horrible it is…where are they on the TV which is where the real power is….silence.

Day after day after day as the mind blowing plot to destroy democracy is uncovered, day after day the news is ignored….it’s obvious.

9. K&R, Mark Elias is right ... M$M goes harder after those who speak out against them than against...

... crooked assholes who want to take down democracy.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

11. The lack of coverage by the majors of all the evidence of coup is bordering on the insane.

This permits the demon to keep claiming it is HE that has the evidence…never produces any…

So the mass media has equalized lots of evidence with no evidence.

[uponit7771]

14. +1, what would they be like if we were invaded by Russia to end democracy as we know it? ...

... What would their coverage be?

We were attacked on 911 not to end democracy and there was wall to wall coverage of everything 911.

This is SOOOOOOOO much like Spain at the end of 1930s, they didn't treat their republicans (literally named republican party) as the enemy at that time when they started treasonous magnitions and look what happened?

Oh, Trump doesn't have a Hitler to help him!? He doesn't need it when Red ST govs like Abbot tell Texas troops that Biden is not their CiC and OK Troops are encouraged do disobey direct orders.

Just ... damn

[Alexander Of Assyria]

18. In midst of all this...the majors invite R after R to be guests on Sunday tv shows...painful to

watch the white men in control of the media and in control of the political levers jerk each other off in public every Sunday.

[Kaleva]

17. It appears the media is covering it. It's more of a case of some choosing to believe they aren't

21. You mean a year ago when the media reported all of Trump's lawsuit failures?
