Enough is enough

[Aviation Pro]

We can endlessly discuss Motherfucker’s cognitive impairment and insanity here in our little fishbowl, but until the national and legacy media starts reporting it with screaming headlines, the reach is small.

When I comment in BezPo, formerly WaPo, I always include the question, “Why aren’t your cub reporters writing about the derangement spewed forth by the convicted felon and rapist?” It draws eyes on the subject to a small degree, but until it has an impact on that rag’s bottom line it means very little.

Legacy media needs to be taken to the woodshed and metaphorically beaten with a switch over this miscarriage and malpractice of journalism.

The power of millions of subscriptions being cancelled is our power and we should use it.

1. The "sanewashing" of Trump by the media needs to stop! He's mentally unfit to be near the WH!

More reporters are coming out and calling it for what it is, but not enough of them!

2. But, but, but, I need to play my games and look at screwed polls and concern post about it all.

5. I cancelled my NYT subscription a while ago...

… I can still play their games on their electronic version without subscription…

3. I'd have to subscribe first

[DemonGoddess]

4. I take

every opportunity to call them out. So do many others.

9. If they get clicks it equals money. Bottom line. What do you support with your dollars?

12. My landlord and my vices. 🤪

Not necessarily in that order.

[DemonGoddess]

14. My clicks are via my subscription

What I do is point out the bullshit by WaPo's right wing writers, in the comments. I'm not the only one

[RainCaster]

6. I already unsubscribed

Couldn't take it anymore.

7. The whiter you are the more passes you get

The republican party is very white and very male, way more so than the Democratic party. The republican party gets all the passes and none of the scrutiny by the corporate media and press. It's basically a snapshot of America.

8. Only Good If Free

I unsubscribed from the NYT but was able to read it free online through my community college's library, so I'm not paying them a cent but still able to monitor their (mostly) BS and enjoy the good parts.

10. Agree...but ppl could stop watching. Advertisers eventually will scream until it changes. Consumers still hold power

11. Say "cognitive impairment" as often as you can and you'd be surprised that it might gain more traction

Reporters read social media too.

Calling them out for not reporting is a good call, but the really effective way to get them to actually cover it is to keep talking about it so that others talk about it and then the reporters pick up "oh, people are interested in it."

13. Both are canceled...

WaPo 3 months ago
NYT 2 years ago

…had enough….

15. "Democracy dies in darkness," says the motto of the New York Times. And they're the ones turning out the lights.

16. that's actually The Washington Post

yup

17. It's not going to happen. MSM is right-wing owned, only on their side.

The only solution is for Democrats to help Harris remove the monopoly on people buying up all the stations. We need to break up the media. Enforce equal coverage, no political bias. The so-called "liberal media" is a lie, and has been for decades.

There's nothing in it for any station to be fair to all, because big money owns it and profits from it being used against those who don't toe the line.

Even the MSNBC thing people are so fond of. Break it up. Put rules in place. Enforce the rules.
