"So how did the #press cover Trump’s speech on the subject of violent neck slitting in our kitchens?
Bloomberg’s headline stated that #Trump “sharpened his criticism on border security” and spoke of Harris’s “political vulnerability” on the question. Axios’s headline read, “Trump pounds #immigration message after Harris’s #border visit.”
The #media collectively simply does not know how to report on Trump out of #fear they will appear “partisan” or anti-Trump."

One thing we’ve learned from studying genocides is that language like this often precedes the mass killing. Otherize, dehumanize, and fearmonger about the target group. This is well documented in Rwanda in [the] 90s and in the 1930s Nazi regime.
This is historical fact, not hyperbole.

Quite a back handed endorsement. Like saying “we have no other choice” but begrudgingly.

Because ABC News did its job, by pointing out Trump's outrageous lies during his debate, Trump threatened to shut down the entire ABC network.
Trump's threat was successful. CBS News is now refusing to fact-check their vice presidential debate.
Democracy cannot survive if the press surrenders to fascist threats like that.

Of the four previous ex-presidents who have run for re-election, how many had previously staged a violent attempt to massacre government officials and overthrow the US government? How many had repeatedly conspired with a foreign enemy against the US? How many were convicted felons? How many were rapists?
You're implying that none of those things matter. And that's an utterly fucking disgraceful thing for you to do, @TheConversationUS
Media: What’s your plan to do X? Be specific!
Harris: We will do X Y and Z.
Media: Wow, so no specifics?
#Harris: We will do X1, X2, Y5-7, and Z10.
#Media: Okay but without the Senate you can’t do that so what’s your plan?
Harris: Win the Senate?
Media: But you won’t so what’s your plan?
Harris: Executive action where I can?
Media: the Courts will block it so what’s your plan? No specifics?
Love, an unsatisfiable moving target. 🎯

“In Kamala Harris’s big general-election debate four years ago, she faced off against an opponent with a fly on his head.
In her immeasurably bigger debate on Tuesday night, she confronted an opponent with bats inside his.”
