Our nation does seem to be slipping down the same slide that Germany did in the 1930s. Maybe the collapse of government in the hands of a madman is inevitable, given how the media landscape has been corrupted by partisans, as it was in 1930s Germany.
I hope not.
90 percent of the media is owned by like 7 families
And a mad man could soon have a shit ton of nukes and one of the best militaries the world has ever seen. Please vote this November
every single person who voted for Trump is going to Hell
Happy Easter everybody
Problem is they want to take us all with them.
...and this is what it takes for people to turn back to their local news media for accurate, unbiased coverage. Kudos to cleveland.com and any other media organization who decides to print the truth and not some repackaged drivel from the handful of largely-conservative mass media organizations.
Hmmm wondering if more media hadn’t written that clear and simple message 5 years ago ….
They were too invested in the 'both sides are just trying to do things differently' idea and didn't want to appear to be taking sides. This unfortunately breaks when abused by fascists, and it takes time to drop traditions that don't work for the current times.
Plus a lot of the media is owned by conservatives who want to keep their side appearing to be legitimate.
Seriously.
Of course they did. But the misinformation campaign has been relentless since day 1.
Even though I'm not in their coverage area, I feel like buying a subscription.
At least click on a few ads.
Ughh, the sacrifices we have to make
I know, the bare minimum!
This is not subjective. We all saw it. Plenty of leaders today try to convince the masses we did not see what we saw, but our eyes don’t deceive. Trust your eyes. Trump on Jan. 6 launched the most serious threat to our system of government since the Civil War. You know that. You saw it.
Are Republicans trying to pretend now that the Jan. 6th incident never happened?
No, they’re just trying to push “It wasn’t an insurrection. It was just a protest, and protests are American!”
While at the same time saying Antifa was behind it
They're kinda saying all kinds of contradictory shit. It never happened, it did happen but it was antifa, it did happen and it was a peacful protest. It goes on.
Okay, that's not what the author makes it sound like.
What an amazing piece. Thank you!
some 1984 shit, trying to convince people what they heard and saw is not real
I sent a thank-you email to the editor and also pointed out a missing word so the can fix a sentence (I'm just pedantic like that). I hope more newsrooms will follow this example.
I heard in a podcast interview that whatever GOP org is now adding the following to their interview process: "Who won the 2020 election?" If you don't say Trump, you don't get the job. The amount of control that he has over the GOP is still startling.
