in more important news my godson is probably the cutest baby there has been. i do this thing where i make a slight popping sound with my mouth and the kid (4mos) laughs like im robin williams and eddie murphy doing their greatest comedy set in front of an audience at the apollo. its intoxicating

had a bit of trouble finding the story, here it is from 2017 7th man who controlled Clinton media coverage ousted for predatory behavior americanjournalnews.com/7th-man-who-...

this is accurate. in a sane world i wouldnt give a fuck about jake tapper and maggie haberman and their social circle, because who cares? but the problem is these circles directly affect how the most important issues are covered, and in turn that affects BILLIONS of people.

many of our problems stem from an unwillingness to admit that some people/ideas are just dumb. theyre not complex or have an ulterior motive or a long plan. theyre just dumb. its a dumb thing.

the loudest voices in the room are usually dumb but nobody else calls them dumb because they want to be in the cool kids club too

Every once in a while, when I want to feel better about the world, I remember that Rush Limbaugh is still dead and I can listen to the Pretenders' "My City Was Gone" again without getting an eye twitch.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all. And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

todays "what liberal media?" evidence

todays reminder that every single democrat in the senate voted to confirm marco rubio. every last one. www.local3news.com/regional-nat...

The entire american "free speech" panic was about elites being criticized, which is why anyone who ever took it seriously should be ignored forever

fwiw - no we cant "just ignore" cbs. it is a major, influential media outlet and pretending it doesnt have sway is dumb - it is important to repeatedly and consistently call this sort of thing out. "everybody" doesnt know or is aware of media rot

This beautiful child's death and blood is on the hands of every single elected official in this country that has refused to deal with the realities of and strategies to prevent gun violence. He was clearly a blessing in life, and may his memory be a blessing in death. people.com/parkland-sch...

CBS bows again to Trump by shelving critical '60 Minutes' story www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

The permitting reform “debate” is a sterling example of some misguided liberals inventing a reasonable conservative position to engage with that simply isn’t held by any conservatives with the power to implement it.

🙄

A since-deleted tweet by former KKK grand wizard David Duke is nearly identical to the statement today made by Vice President JD Vance

im glad someone commented but why is it always hedging. "looks like" just say it. just. say. it.

ive got a weird thing where i have a hateful respect for people like karl rove, roger ailes, and rupert murdoch. they fucking suck and made our world worse but they were actually competent at it. the modern iterations of these people - trump, stephen miller, bari weiss -- theyre just so bad at it.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

In case you need to hear it from someone who was raised Hindu: Usha is not a hostage, she is an accomplice. She is culpable. Fuck her and the fascists she colludes with. May she go down with all of them. As Zohran ably demonstrates, our communities do not aspire to whiteness & don’t seek to appease.

Bari Weiss really fucked up by stepping in it on the slowest news week of the year. We've got nothing to talk about and no work to do!

I don't care who I offend, but JD Vance is right: it was wrong when Barack Hussein Obama forced millions of white children to apologize for their whiteness or risk deadly hip-hoppification and I'm glad somebody finally has the courage to say so.

Now antisemitism is “raging Israel debate” and refusing to stand up to bigotry is “walking a tightrope” (WashPost)

we're a long way from "the insider"

So there's something happening (primarily on Twitter): right-wing commentators/influencers are straight up inventing a reality where "the left" has been completely owned by the fact that Bill Clinton is in the Epstein photos.

This is NYT headline morning after JD’s grotesque hot blast of white supremacist nativism at Turning Point’s hate-fest?!

this is like how jake tapper used to bitch and moan at me in DMs because media matters called out his sloppy reporting in a public report. these guys dont ever want anything in the open.

Nikki Minaj spoke at the Turning Point USA conference last night, completing her Trumper heel turn. @kaliholloway.bsky.social tracked the process earlier

may have to write this thing for my sanity

"It began with the Great Crisis. King Clinton's handpicked successor, Prince Gore, prevented from attaining the Platinum Throne of Washington following the intervention of the Supreme Council, who appointed King Bush II..."

It’s really strange the vice president of the United States is a white supremacist, who says white supremacist slogans, who publicly praises and follows the work of white supremacists, and it’s simply not mentioned or discussed in political media

Lady Kirk whispering in Baron Vance's ear about how the throne can be his, meanwhile Viceroys Pence and Shapiro form an alliance to usurp Lord Carlson who has enlisted the army of the barbarian warlord Fuentes, meanwhile the Mad King Trump's empire collapses -- with Wormtongue Miller the true leader

mike pence as the cersei lannister of the nonrprofit influence world isnt what i would have predicted www.wsj.com/politics/ele...

I've had a senior Dem staffer personally tell me that he doesn't understand why people think talking about civil rights is a big deal since we need to win the racist vote.

There is large segment of the Democratic Party that watches this, think Vance has some good points, and quietly starts making plans to eliminate civil rights planks at the next convention.

I find it more than ironic that at a time when almost the entire conservative moment is trying to defend their Dear Leader's relationship with the world's most notorious child sex trafficker, their new celeb of choice is the wife of a registered sex offender.

I would be shocked if a democratic elected official says a thing about the cbs censorship. Democrats see no utility in pushing those narratives.

Liberals rehabbing monsters like Jonah Goldberg and George W Bush is one of the things I hate most about liberalism

Can’t believe the faux gold Oval Office has been passed over

Leaders of the Democratic Party rarely talk about how corrupt the media is. That needs to change (mostly by changing who the leaders of the party are).

It's the reason people like George Will hate Trump. They spent their careers writing cover stories for the GOP and now their services are no longer required.

That's not what the Fairness Doctrine required.

Well if anything the right is no longer engaging in the sort of soft racism that Lee Atwater once described. It’s open white supremacy and the media and so-called opposition party won’t say it is.

a simple lesson in press coverage: every journalist has lindsey graham's cell # and there are never any investigative stories about lindsey graham

There has always been this type.

The right wing oligarchs are consolidating control of all media and the left barely wants to put money in a single newspaper/news site.
