Even the front page of the Washington Post (online; I live far away from the delivery zone now) in the run up to the elections was nothing but undeserved doom and gloom about how bad everything was going to be for the Democrats, much wringing of hands, lots of “what the Democrats will have to fix going forward.” It is unreal how badly the media wants the GOP to have it all. |
So called "liberal" corporate media really only cares about the drama and the horse race, far more than they actually care about the future of the nation. |
Or doom and gloom sells more ads than sunshine and rainbows. |
Paywalled. Not sure what the article is getting at but it's notable that, since taking over Twitter, Musk has *only* engaged directly with far-right and alt-right figures like Ian Miles Cheong and others, and amplified their hysteria and conspiracy theories while punching down and mocking anyone who dares counter them. |
RWN is full of McCarthy threatening to bring up the 51 IC members who claimed Biden’s computer story was Russian propaganda. McCarthy trying desperately to appease the MAGA so he can be speaker. Such a naked power hunger move! Will MAGA congressional folks buy it? |

What’s fun about “mainstream” media quoting so many “Democrats” is that it allows right wingers to feel even more victimized. If the opinions of “Democrats” are always being prioritized, then it seems like Democrats are being favored. When obviously many of the “Democrats” that have been spotlighted are right wingers or right wing operatives. |
