"The story on Fox News’ website about Brendan Carr’s threat against TV networks made it seem normal for the government to tell journalists what they can report. Fox enables fascism."

Trump can’t handle the truth about the war
So far, major media’s coverage is a departure from past failuresMark Jacob (Stop the Presses)
"Brendan Carr is not some neutral bureaucrat doing his job. He wrote the FCC chapter of Project 2025. ...
And none of this is new. This is how it has always been done. In Nazi Germany, Joseph Goebbels issued daily press directives telling editors what headlines to run, what stories to bury, and exactly how to frame the regime’s actions."

The President of the United States is afraid
Early this afternoon, the President of the United States gave an unscheduled and deeply troubling phone interview to NBC's Chief White House Correspondent, Kristen Welker, while he was spending time at his weekend retreat and private club, Mar-a-Lago…Heather Delaney Reese
There's a word to describe Brendan Carr's attempt to throttle the free press and make it dance to the tune of the state. US media and history textbooks have been very willing to use that word when it comes to other nations.
The word is fascism. Brendan Carr and other authors of Project 2025 want fascist control of American government and society.

"Major media aren’t paying enough attention to how Israel’s Bibi Netanyahu manipulated Trump into the war. Early on, WaPo had a strong story about Netanyahu’s prodding, and the NYT has addressed the risks of the U.S.-Israel war alliance. But more must be written."

"The only major American news outlet that I’ve seen calling for an end to war in its editorials is… actually British. It’s the Guardian. And even they were pretty meek about it."

STOP THE WAR! How hard is that for an editorial board to say?
A survey of what editorials are saying, and a plea for them to say moreDan Froomkin (Press Watch)
"And you have Mark Zuckerberg who is a conservative mega-billionaire. And Meta is, you know, with Facebook and Instagram, one of the most important information platforms. And Elon Musk owns Twitter. And all of the kind of biggest information channels are now controlled by conservative billionaires."

"But now you have this takeover by a bunch of conservative billionaires of all of the key major institutions. So David Ellison, who is a big friend of Trump's and his father, Larry Ellison, they're going to control TikTok and CNN and all kinds of other media properties. And you have Jeff Bezos, who owns the Washington Post and has turned it much more conservative than it used to be."

Noting that Pete Hegseth has just attacked CNN and said that Larry Ellison should take it over, Paul Waldman says,
"What we're seeing now, and I think that comment that Hegseth made is really revealing, is that just in the last few years, there was always corporate media and there are ways in which it was very conservative, despite what conservatives say about it."

Nir & Rupar: Paul Waldman on Trump's Iran debacle
We unpack why the war is the least popular in history.Aaron Rupar (Public Notice)
"Now an undeclared, unauthorized, unpopular, and unconstitutional war of aggression against Iran has spread like wildfire through the region and into Europe. A new 'forever war'—with an ever-increasing likelihood of American troops on the ground—may very well be upon us.
As we’ve seen over and over, this administration uses lies, misdirection, and attempts to flood the zone to justify its abuses of power at home and abroad."
"Even before February 28, the reasons for Donald Trump’s imploding approval rating were abundantly clear: untrammeled corruption and personal enrichment to the tune of billions of dollars during an affordability crisis, a foreign policy guided only by his own derelict sense of morality, and the deployment of a murderous campaign of occupation, detention, and deportation on American streets."
~ The Nation
"Time and again, national pundits and the White House press corps invent a logical Donald Trump who sets, announces, and later “changes” real 'policies' or 'plans,' failing to convey what is clear to anyone who is actually following events closely: In each public appearance and social media post, the Mad King Donald Trump spouts a string of words, devoid of meaning or purpose, that may or may not represent anything at all."
Commentary continues to pour out re: Trump's war against Iran. I'm starting a second thread of things I've read today about that topic that seem worth sharing.
"The hardest thing for the media to wrap its hands around over the last year is that Donald Trump has no plan — for anything, ever."
