it's hilarious how these high ranking highly educated experts are all completely baffled by everything the fascists are doing. when the actual objective of obliterating us democracy is complete, will they still be saying "butbutbutbut they said they were trying to save money!!!"
fucking come on.
fuck ap too. find someone to talk to who will address what these chucklefuck fascists are doing, rather than their 100% bullshit explanations for what they're doing
AP is big on both-sides and sanewashing. I guess that makes them "serious" journalists.
Where are you getting that he’s baffled? Elon says he’s saving us money, this guy points out that Elon is full of shit. Where is the confusion?
Well some circles call this kind of non-biased reporting journalism.
Avoiding a direct statement of fact that contradicts known liars to appear non-biased is shitty journalism.
This shit is not "non-biased!" By taking Musk's claimed intent at face value even though the AP knows Project 2025 is a thing, they are blatantly spinning the coverage in the regime's favor.
What would actually be non-biased would be to accurately report what's actually happening, not to uncritically accept and repeat bald-faced lies!
They are trying to prove a point that there's no cost cutting actually happening.
Highlighting that Musk's own data, published by DOGE, says they aren't making any savings on almost half the cuts doesn't really seem very positive for the regime. It's also absolutely neutral reporting.
It is absolutely not neutral because it leaves out the important half of the story, which is that the whole exercise of publishing that data is nothing but a misdirection tactic. Again, we know this from Project 2025 and various public statements that had been made previously, so there's no excuse for the AP to be so excessively credulous that they mislead rather than inform.
The AP is parroting the Big Lie. It is absolutely biased and unacceptable!
