It’s moments like these where I mourn the loss of the incomparable Eric Boehlert the most. There have been so many moments lately but this pushed me over the top. I truly don’t know what it will take for the absolutely dire, decrepit DC media elites to get a clue that they are aiding & abetting a descent into fascism that surely has our Founding Fathers weeping in their graves. Do they not realize that by continuing, after all these years of Trumpism, to debase themselves as QOP mouthpieces, they are placing us all in grave physical danger if these people take power? Do they think this is all a game?
Case in point, this enraging, downright disgusting “article” from NBC News that has my blood boiling on the heels of the stunning FBI search of Mar-a-Lago. By now we all know that Rs lie every time they open their mouths. Nothing they say defending Trump, especially after this, should be taken seriously. They should be vigorously challenged on the substance. Instead, the entire article from start to finish, including headline & subhead, is Republican framing, talking points & LIES! There is not a SINGLE Democrat quoted in the article, the entire thing is composed of quotes from a bunch of literal propagandists that would make Joseph Goebbels proud.
As the user in the above screenshot notes, the dangerous moron who wrote this “Zoe Richards” (or her editors, or both) did not offer a SINGLE contextual framing to clarify for readers that the former president is under multiple criminal investigations on everything from financial fraud to seditious conspiracy. Talk about unprecedented! Not to mention that the entire enabling Republican Party is now a full-blown cult of personality & scary criminal organization that wants to turn America into a DICTATORSHIP! I mean, for God’s sake!
Do they realize that it is their duty to make this all clear to American people or we’re all in danger? My college newspaper staff had infinitely more courage & moral values than any of these elitist, garbage “reporters” who literally publish QOP propaganda & save tales of gobsmacking Republican criminality & moral depravity for their books, as if it’s not their job to serve the people. The only quote from a non-fascist is at the end from the DOJ & WH who obviously aren’t going to comment.
The media continues to help the Republican Party destroy our country. What in the HELL is wrong with them?? Is it laziness, egomania, power lust, greed or what?? Thank you to DailyKos for countering mainstream media malpractice & being such a vital source of information & ethical journalism.
