Media Thread (non Faux)

[neoplacebo]

Well, what a revelation.....I didn't say they serve ALL the American people. I said they exist TO SERVE the American people. What people watch or whether they watch PBS is irrelevant. Anyone can choose to watch it or not. But your cult's leader wants to take that choice away; a choice that's been available for decades. But all it takes to turn mindless cultists against something is a few lies from extreme right wing media and an ill informed babble from the cult leader.

Another CBS exec disapproves of corporate caving in to MAGA. The 1A will ultimately lose.

Wendy McMahon Resigns As CEO Of CBS News And Stations: “It’s Become Clear That The Company And I Do Not Agree On The Path Forward”

Hero.

Hell, they should put me in charge of CBS. In my acceptance statement, I will thank everyone, make it clear that harassment from trump LAW and from the clown now in charge of the FCC will be fish slapped, stomped, and then ignored. I'll probably close with this: "If you want to see BS go watch Fox or listen to trump LAW.

So, your CBS would be Counter-BS?

[O Really]

I've mentioned several times that I'm not as worried about Trump as about his enablers and supporters. That would go double for legit media kowtowing. It's not some obscure law or regulation - it's the effin' FIRST Amendment.

Only by default since Fox and its spawn have become pro BS. I can still remember back when the only media there was was CBS, ABC, and NBC. Snd you had to have fucking antenna to even get those. But at least none of them spewed bullshit nonstop like some of these modern outlets do. Not to mention the sewer of misinformation social medea convicnes gullible fools to believe bullshit. It makes me want to break something. Plus, about an hour ago two sharply dressed young white men knocked on my door and invited me to join them at their church. I was forced to tell them that "I'm not a believer" but they did mercifully skulk away. But it pissed me off they even would come and fuck whith me like that. What a world.

Yeah, tragic timing. It's not permissible to post an obvious truth about Stephen Miller (and DonOLD), a man who has viciously and dishonestly attacked far more people than Joe McCarthy ever did.

Gone.

Terry Moran Won't Return To ABC News After Stephen Miller 'Hater' Post
The news network said Moran's post was a "clear violation" of its policies.

... “The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism,” Moran wrote early Sunday morning in the since-deleted post. “Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that’s not what’s interesting about Miller. It’s not brains. It’s bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He’s a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment.”

... This isn’t the first time ABC News has seemingly caved to the administration’s demands. In December, the news network agreed to donate $15 million to Trump’s presidential library to settle a defamation lawsuit against anchor George Stephanopoulos’ after he inaccurately said on-air assertion that Trump had been found civilly liable for raping writer E. Jean Carroll. Trump was found liable for sexual abuse.

No room for undeniable truths at ABC.

Jon Stewart Calls ABC News “A F—ing Joke” Over Terry Moran Dismissal: “So Stupid”

After ABC News unceremoniously parted ways with Terry Moran, Jon Stewart is calling out a double standard in broadcast journalism.

The comedian recently clarified whether he agrees with the news network’s decision not to renew the reporter’s contract over a since-deleted social media post criticizing President Donald Trump and his top aide Stephen Miller.

“Of course not. So stupid. No, for God’s sake,” said on The Weekly Show podcast, calling ABC News “a f—ing joke.”

“Literally every day on Fox News they’re taking stuff out of context or their people are saying utterly vicious things about democratic politicians. The entire thing is because ABC clings to this facade that they somehow exist in a bubble outside all of this." ...

Terry Moran Launches Substack Channel To Continue “Important Work” After ABC News Dismissal

... “For almost 28 years, I was a reporter and anchor for ABC News, and as you may have heard, I’m not there anymore,” he said in a video entitled ‘Independence Day‘. “I’m here, with you, on Substack, this amazing space. And I can’t wait to get at it, to get at the important work that we all have to do in this time of such trouble for our country. I’m gonna be reporting and interviewing and just sharing from you, and hoping to hear from you as well.” ...

Good luck.

I suspect they're still seething about how uttering the N word can be a hate crime. They want it to be freeze peach. The whole environment of the US now seems like it's trying to regress to the late 19th/early 20th century type setup.

Why doesn't he cover TACO DonOld's dementia? It's happening in real time. Probably skeered.

Devil's Advocate: Tapper may not have the direct access to Dementia Don and his high level aides that he did with Joe. He can report on what he hears and we all witness, but may not have the first person authority for a new book. Idk what his recent reports have covered.

DonOld's 45 administration leaked like a sieve from the get go.

This one is better but not leak free. He's still aggressively peddling yesterday's news to shill his book while today's news is ignored.

Hell, I'd take Biden in a coma over the idiot trump. The ignorant pathological liar will progressively get worse than he his if you can imagine. And no matter how bad he gets, none of the sickophants will dare take any action. I still find it hard to believe that the moron trump has taken over an entire political party with only lies and ignorance.
