"Trump's menace is real, he's carried out his authoritarian threats before -refuses to walk back his threats against Dems. Dem gaffes are literally instantly clarified. There's no symmetry."
-W Stancil
'It's actually worse than this. Not only do Trump & MAGA refuse to walk back authoritarian threats to persecute Dems; they EXPLICITLY DOUBLE DOWN ON THOSE THREATS. They confirm that, yes, WE ABSOLUTELY MEANT THOSE THREATS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY."
-G Sargent
The #media boosts #TFG, not #democracy.
I think we all knew this was happening—why else overpay by $25b?—but I guess confirmation is good.
Imagine being the kind of chump who clings to Zombie Twitter because “that’s where the conversation is” only to have your work throttled while everyone is guaranteed to see Catturd’s latest insights.

Americans' #Trust in #Media Remains at Trend Low
Trust in political and civic institutions highest for local and state #governments, lowest for media and #Congress

In an age of #fake news, #propaganda, #maga, #Twitter #bots and Russian #troll factories, we actually need trustworthy journalism. I must once again explicitly point out that the principle of "trust nobody" does not mean no longer believing official sources and only consuming unfiltered news from Russian-controlled #Telegram channels and basing your world view on them.
"Trust nobody but don't stop thinking - if you belive the earth is flat you are far beyond a border no one should pass!"

What makes Bezos’s op-ed so insulting is that if he’d made some kind of principled decision to not endorse in the name of “independence” that would not have happened after the endorsement had been drafted and readied for publication.
He obviously thinks WaPo’s readers are idiots.

Over 200,000 subscribers reportedly flee The Washington Post after owner Jeff Bezos blocked an endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president.
@npr reports "the figure represents about 8% of the paper’s paid circulation of 2.5 million subscribers, which includes print as well." Several columnists have also resigned from the paper over the decision.

#BehindtheCurtain: The #big #media #era is over
How and where #Americans get #informed has broken into scores of pieces — from young men on #JoeRogan's #podcasts, to #suburban #women following #Instagram #influencers.
#VicePresident #KamalaHarris reached more young #women on #AlexCooper's "#CallHerDaddy" #podcast, a show about #sex and #relationships, than she could on #CBS' "#60Minutes" and #ABC's "#TheView" combined. Both shows skew older, too.
"Trump Media shares surge up to 20% after Trump rally in NYC."
#Sanewashing, on the CNBC webpage, so far, the only ref. to the MSG KKK2 rally is a way that #TFG profiteers thru stock market manipulation.
Many people who abhor fascism, racism, misogyny, xenophobia, stochastic terrorism... are reeling today, as some in the #media haven't called out #TFG/Rs for the rally (& their views) that should disqualify TFG/R candidates who support him, from political offices.

" #DonaldTrump has described at length the dangerous and disturbing actions he says he will take if he wins the presidency.
...These statements are so outrageous and outlandish, so openly in conflict with the norms and values of #American #democracy that many find them hard to regard as anything but empty bluster.
We have two words for American voters: Believe him."

"This is a dark day in American journalism. Both papers [Los Angeles Times and Washington Post] have made clear their disdain and disrespect for Donald Trump and published numerous columns on their editorial pages calling him unfit to serve. The refusal of the Washington Post and LA Times to publish editorials endorsing Kamala Harris at this point is nothing but chickenshit."

The Washington Post and LA Times have already told us what they think about Donald Trump.
This is a dark day for American Journalism.Lucian K. Truscott IV (Lucian Truscott Newsletter)
When the LA Times' owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, killed its endorsement of Kamala Harris, he also quashed a multi-part series, tentatively called "The Case Against Trump," @TheWrap says. So far, three staffers — editorial writer Karin Klein, Pulitzer Prize-winner Robert Green and editorials editor Mariel Garza have quit over the lack of endorsement, with Klein calling Soon-Shiong a "chickensh**." To date, the LA Times Guild is the only institution from the paper that has commented publicly. Here's more — free registration may be required to read the full article.

LA Times Planned 'Case Against Trump' Series Alongside Kamala Harris Endorsement Before Owner Quashed It | Exclusive - TheWrap

The publisher for the Washington Post says the storied paper will not endorse a candidate for president for the first time in 36 years, and that it does not intend to endorse candidates in future races. The move has prompted outcry from employees of the Post, including its former Executive Editor Martin Baron, as well as others in the media industry. “This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty,” Baron tells @npr.
