Democracy is a "clear and present danger" and we have enemies foreign and DOMESTIC stating OUT LOUD that the Constitution and Rule of Law is to be ignored and dismantled? Where is the REPORTING and fucking OUTRAGE FCS? Sorry for the CAPS but I have listened to the MSM for 8 fucking years and they are such a mamby pamby bunch of journalistic failures.
Totally disgusted given the grave threat(s).

(28,836 posts)Most of the major news outlets have reported extensively on Trump's descent into authoritarianism for years. We mostly ignore it for the sake of knee-jerk declaring that all the media is worthless.
They have reported on his vermin rhetoric and noted the similarities to Mussolini and Hitler.
They have reported on his rhetoric about putting his enemies in camps and eliminating threats.
They have reported extensively on pretty much every step of his trials and lawsuits.
Example: CNN today: https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/04/politics/trump-presidential-power-2024/index.html
This is the same CNN that DUers say is far right and never covers Trump's bullshit. Right.
Sensationalizing and projecting outrage are not their job. Their job is to present the facts, not stomp their feet. There's a fine line between presenting an accurate view and editorializing.
Are the major media outlets perfect? Of course not, but they also aren't the bogeymen that DU pretends they are. They cover Trump and his threats to normalcy and democracy extensively. We just mostly choose to pretend otherwise.

(12,802 posts)Cable media is against us. The only real investigative journalist are from print media. Cable just repeats what they do with their own spin.

(68,495 posts)a lot lately. I like seeing these writers because they have their contacts and they talk about what they have learned from the contacts. They are practically all center left, not too scary to the viewers and probably hated by the RW voters who aren't watching anyway. I watch that show because of the writers they have on. Some are cool, like the journalist who wears pearls. He wears a pearl necklace that looks just like the one my mother had.
