I am old enough to remember this (the same reporter who is woefully ignorant wasn’t) and how #brokentimes repeatedly pushed the issue of “bipartisanship“ to bash Obama. Notice how it doesn‘t care about that anymore

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

Today is Day 21 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders: 1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House. 2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA. 3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Combined with a #Brokentimes Econ reporter (out of nowhere) claiming that Dems are entirely to blame for ACA not being better, @nytimes.com has a serious male ego problem

Obviously this is why he lied about his intentions. He said he wasn't going to tear down any part of the White House during construction. And why the Treasury Department has told employees to stop sending pictures of the demolition out to the public.

Ok, let's say you accidentally got a nazi tat. Would you not break the speed limit driving to the shop to get it covered up the second you found out

So, the totenkopf has deep roots in German/Prussian military heraldry. The German military had two main ones in use during WW2, one used by the regular army panzer corps and the other by the SS. Platner's is specifically the SS one. Not good! Like, literally the worst.

Between this and once working for Blackwater makes him highly suspect

the level of contempt and disdain i feel for these chuds is really unhealthy

Weird when a reporter engages in bullshit asymmetry #brokentimes bsky.app/profile/joan...

The amount of effort required to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than producing it, which is why we're all drowning. This is called the Bullshit Asymmetry Principle and it explains the entire internet

In some ways, the regime half-assedly tearing off part of the White House without regard for construction protocols might have more of an impact on the offline folks than the past ten months.

Incredible numbers after the political media spent weeks hammering "the Dems are making a big mistake, the shutdown is their fault" as a main message, in contradiction to polling

shocked to learn that the president lied about this and also this is a horrible defacing of a building that belongs to the people of the United States, not donald trump

What have the news media been thinking as they’ve normalized and empowered MAGA fascism over the last decade? I took an intrepid journey inside the media’s brain to find out. Read my free Stop the Presses newsletter.

@markjacob.bsky.social with a damning look at how the mainstream media has covered trump since 2015. every year was a journalism fail. every damn year.

@cnn.com propping up the regime again. How about mentioning that until she's sworn in she literally CAN'T HIRE STAFF or even act as a Congresswoman in any capacity?

So it’s funny how @nytimes.com reporters cherry pick what info is important to color perception of the economy. I am old enough to remember when they played down high employment rates and stock market during the Biden admin and kept the specter of recession alive for 3 1/2 years #lostcredibility

Peak #brokentimes reporter take: hold Dems to highest standard while ignoring GOP’s damage to our country. Mid-90’s the Clintons tried to reform healthcare and were blocked. Under Obama this access was passed and has covered millions of people…so he blames Dems #lostcredibility

which party voted unanimously against the ACA and attempted multiple times to repeal it in its entirety again?

do you have access to a newspaper that reported on this issue comprehensively in 2010

Maybe instead of urging Dems to abandon human rights, @nytimes.com can instead stand up for democracy and have an elected lawmaker sworn in #brokentimes

Media outlets who refuse to describe in plain terms what the president did because they find it objectionable are lying to their audiences and running cover for the president. It's as simple as that.

Bluesky commentary remains undefeated 😂

Any media outlets that don’t address this video of Trump wearing a crown dumping shit on Americans is normalizing it. As with everything else this authoritarian regime does, you’re either calling it out or normalizing it. There is no third option.

Journalism with clarity

The comparison to the Tea Party is right -- not just in terms of the size of the protests, but the complaints they're making. The Tea Party began when a CNBC reporter and a crowd of bond traders threw a tantrum about Obama continuing the post-crash bailouts that Bush began. That was their "tyranny"

Even in a digital era, the choices editors make about the Sunday front page say a great deal about their priorities

It's not just that the NYT chose to ignore the massive protests -- 300,000 in their city alone! -- but that the piece they *did* run on the front page about Democrats is almost cartoonishly bad in how much it whines that they're just not doing what A.G. Sulzberger LXVII wants them to do.

Don't forget they fabricated an allegation that Biden had Parkinson's, which he does not have, because a specialist doctor went to some policy meetings at the White House. They're lying liars who like Trump and want to help him rule.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago with 70% of the vote yet Mike Johnson refuses to swear in. This is a continuation of the Jan 6 attack that was designed to overturn an election.

Is it good when even judges are saying you can’t trust the government anymore?

NYT sanewashing extends, apparently, to sparing NYT readers from a description of Trump's literal shit.

hell yeah, we're doing hopepunk, we're making star wars references, we're cringemaxxing caring about stuff is so uncool that it's cool again, get ready www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The 7 million Americans who took the streets for 'No Kings' made history, and they did something even more important They got under the skin of Donald Trump and his dictatorial regime, on a day that showed that most Americans love democracy instead My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/no-k...

Those with sharp eyes might detect a subtle difference in NYT play last month of an event in one city, w 100,000+ attendees, versus play this morning of some 2500+ events w many millions of attendees, in all 50 states. See if you can spot it! /s Then you can find today's story on p A23

Is that Jonathan Karl blaming democrats for the shutdown? Corporate media is ridiculous.

Indianapolis, Indiana Sound on for singing. 💙🇺🇸💪

Remember when they hounded Hillary for years over insufficient email security protocols?

The photos in the New York Times also don’t give any sense of the scale. Would you know that millions of people showed up across the country?

no matter how much you despise Sulz and his paper, you don't actually despise them enough

couldn’t agree with this more. conservatives in casual conversation will say the most out of pocket shit you’ve heard in your life but we’re out of touch if we call them out or judge them for it because they get a benefit of the doubt never afforded to progressives.

⚡️UPDATE: Local @cbsnews affiliate @wdefnews12 in CHATTANOOGA has deleted and replaced their post about the protests after we called them out for telling on themselves.

On a day when the Colombian president accuses the US govt of murder in its attack on a boat in Colombian territorial waters, the nyt is cheerleading Trump’s obsessive hobby horse: a “peace” prize.
