This fucking guy

He's one for the ages

Ukrainians are angry at a tone in Western #media lately that #Ukraine is losing

#Disinfo from the usual #socialMedia #troll farms and #plutocrat influenced channels shilling a #narrative for a corrupt #agenda

So what does #Zelensky do?

He goes to the frontline in #Kupiansk and films himself there

While the #West repeats #Kremlin lies that #Russia controls it

😂

Zelensky is something else

Tough, crafty, true

In a world of dipshits

"in what strikes me as an unintentional acknowledgment of weakness, the full membership of the editorial board --which the Post used to proudly list under every unsigned editorial -- is now a closely guarded secret. Either [opinion editor Adam] O’Neal is too embarrassed to list them, or they’re too embarrassed to be associated with the garbage they are forced to produce."

In a posting entitled "Washington Post readers revolt against Bezos’s editorial board," Dan Froomkin says,

"The AI summaries of reader comments have become a must read. ...

The reader-comment summaries are also wonderfully brutal for the Post’s many MAGA opinion columnists."

"Trump is clearly unwell - Not only was Trump’s performance in Pennsylvania last night unhinged and wild, the madman in chief posted this last night." And then Simon Rosenberg points to Trump's post discussed by Philip Bump and Evan Hurst in /2 and /3 above.

"Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it."

~ Philip Bump

Bump is pointing to a 487-word post by Trump that you'll see when you click the link to Bump's post.

Robert Reich enumerates the many reasons the media should be paying attention to Trump's health, notably his mental health, and wonders why the media are refusing to focus on that significant topic — when they were obsessed with it in Biden's case.

Noting the many ways in which the media assist Trump in representing inhumanity and indecency as the opposite of what they are, Mark Jacob says,

"Trump doesn’t know much about public policy or human decency, but he sure knows about marketing – and manipulation of the media."

"You’re disgusted by commercial or billionaire ownership, and angry about journalism driven by corporate concerns over public mission."

Count me among the disgusted. And count me very happy to read each of the people and quite a few others who have no foothold in the traditional media world on a daily basis.

"Many of you mentioned writers like Heather Cox Richardson, Paul Krugman, Judd Legum and Marisa Kabas, among many others. You also mentioned podcasts and individual columnists.

Many of you expressed disillusionment, or even rage, at 'Big Journalism,' or mainstream media — or whatever you want to call the big traditional institutions."

Sullivan writes:

"Last week, I asked you, the readers of American Crisis, to tell me about your media diet. Where are you getting the news and information you find reliable and important?

Your comments were illuminating. Many of you mentioned how much you have come to rely on independent — not institutional — voices."

the Times printed a front-page above-the-fold headline and article trolling Biden on the immigration issue. Biden. Not Trump. When Trump is in the White House and Biden is long gone.

The New York Times is not about to redeem itself anytime soon, and many of us will keep congratulating ourselves for turning our back on that shameful media outlet and seeking good information and reporting elsewhere.

Margaret Sullivan retains an old-fashioned belief in the possibility that traditional media can right themselves and return to their mission of speaking truth even when it''s inconvenient and defending equality and justice for all.

I no longer have that faith, but applaud her for holding onto it. The infuriating example she gives of how the New York Times continues betraying that mission right up to yesterday —

we’re all assuming the merger should happen, just not sure who will get to be the buyer, but why are we allowing this crazy consolidation to continue? You don’t get rid of monopolies, or duopolies by allowing unfettered mergers/takeovers of massive corporations.

LA Times insisting on "both sides"-ing of the climate crisis in its editorial pages, as they do everything since they decided to kiss up to the oligarchy. Billionaire-owned media apparently all capitulated.
