The Corporate Media weighs in on Trump's slurred speech and Musk's toadying obsequiousness.

I went to Google News for a list of headlines about last night’s “interview” with Trump on Twitter. With the exception of an OpEd in USA Today (Trump sounded like “a disoriented, racist Daffy Duck”), the mainstream news just ignored the disaster that unfolded, only noting “technical difficulties”. Yes, some new sources did characterize it correctly, but I was interested in the Big Names who have spent the last year hammering Biden’s mental acuity.

This goes beyond journalistic malpractice, and into the realm of things Julius Streicher would be proud of.

It gives them access to parties. I hear there’s a lot of drugs and sex at those parties 🎉


Thanks for doing the research, Miguelito Loveless 💞

And have seen him descend from champion of the environment and green energy, to oil company lackey and Trump-branded fascist.
