Do they mean the Project 2025 that I heard about in a main story in a Last Week Tonight episode?
The headline is a little misleading. The actual article is talking about why, given that Project 2025 is the culmination of 40 years of far-right thought, the media has only begun sounding the alarm bells since the publication of the book, and why the focus is on the most sensational aspects instead of on explaining the pernicious, foundational, fascist ideas it's built upon.
Seriously. I've been hearing early warning alrms about Project 2025 from media articles for at leat 6+ months now. Same with the election poll rigging shit that I've been seeing "MSM isn't telling you about this MAGA poll rigging!"
Maybe it's because I pay attention? Nah, that can't be it, I have ADHD.
In reality, it's because there's a ton of shit going on and in various stages of completion. Shit that's dire/urgent today gets fed to the top of reporting with the stuff that sucks but doesn't have impact now gets depruotized for later.
And CNN, and MSNBC, and politico, and CBS news, and BBC, and...
Warner Bros.-Discovery ain't the mainstream media!!! /s
