Report about the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post —

  • 26 Articles in the week following Smith's indictment of Trump for his attempted coup

  • 100 Articles — nearly 4 times as many — that mentioned Clinton’s server in the week after then-FBI Director James Comey’s notorious October 28, 2016, letter on new developments in that probe--

The US media has learned nothing and is doing a disservice to American voters.

Gee, I wonder if this could have anything to do with the oligarchs owning all of the mainstream media sources.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Gee, I wonder if that has anything to do with Trump and the GOP giving said oligarchs a trillion dollars in tax breaks.

The country got robbed, they got the profits, and now they want to get in the cookie jar again, and we’re going to be left holding the bag with another trump term.

I can only hope he’s so incompetent that none of project 2025 gets moving beyond more tax breaks for billion dollar corporations. If they gut the government like is planned, the country is going to fall apart like the Soviet Union did.

Well that makes sense. Her emails... Uhm... Might have contributed to an embassy attack that was planned for months and hurt a few spies and mercenaries?

Whereas he just led a violent insurrection against some politicians.

Major papers are giving Trump’s Jan. 6 indictment dramatically less attention than they did Clinton’s server

Let's take two scenarios:

  • Local gang member robs drug buyer, fires shots at escaping car.

  • Pope Francis robs drug buyer, fires shots at escaping car.

The headline here is identical other than the person involved and what one might expect of them. Which story do you think is going to draw more reader attention and media attention?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think people missed your point that we expect that kind of behaviour from Trump.

Still, you'd think that "presidential candidate is a convicted felon and also tried to violently overtake the white house" would get a bit more media attention

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

He's got so much going on that half the paper would be about him if they kept covering everything between the classified documents, election interference, hush money, Georgia, tax fraud, Carroll defamation...

Guys, I'm starting to think Trump isn't meant to run a country.

I wonder what it'll take for for us to kick him to the curb by hand instead of waiting for the justic system to....not do justice against those who deserve it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

It's almost like it's by design to wear people down and have them stop believing everything they hear because "that all can't be happening"...

The media has been trump badding for the last 9 years straight, what the fuck more do you people want?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If the media treated trump fairly he'd die in prison. So that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The media does not have the ability to jail people, and it should not influence justice outcomes.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago (1 children)

... I am not even going to explain this to you because you're obviously too far gone into the cult

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

No, please do explain how you think even more trump coverage, despite him appearing negatively in every media outlets for the last nine years would somehow put him in jail.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I'm good on explaining basic shit to empty shells of humans who are devoid of actual care for anyone but their smug selves.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So you can't, but you want constant trump coverage for the next 200 years. I really dislike you conservatives playing your team sports when actual people need help.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Smugness certainly helps everyone along with hollow bullshit arguments with zero facts behind them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Not more, honest. Not sanewashing his incoherent ramblings, calling out his fascist rhetoric for what it is, not talking about what tarrifs would mean for pricing in the US, not emphasizing a small issue on Harris's team while ignoring the couch fucker refusing to say trump won.. or letting him off the hook by saying he would have voted against ratifying.. there is no vote.. it is a ceremonial job.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 7 months ago

what the fuck more do you people wan?

What people, exactly?
