I think Democrats at all levels should shut the fck up right now. Stop feeding the (corporate, right-wing owned - Politco? Axel Springer) media's war on our democracy. It's part of the goddam plot, dipshts:
Step 1: Media (again, and I can't emphasize this enough - it's almost all owned by oligarchs at this point - Univision is s ary) builds an expectation that Trump can or will win.
Step 2: Trump loses.
Step 3: Run the "Stop the Steal" play again.
One of the reasons for the invisibility of #AntiAsianRacism is inextricably connected to #ModelMinorityMyth. The myth focuses on #stereotypes of #Asians as hard-working, independent, intelligent & economically prosperous.
Stereotypes hide many issues & disappears the realities of working-class #AsianWomen’s lives.
When considering the audience, it’s no surprise that many within the #WhiteMajority of #NorthAmerica, lack the necessary #education when investing in the appropriation of #POC lifestyles.
Not to say that #Trump is 100% innocent BTW, if #JoeBiden should be prosecuted for illegally having classified documents, so should #Trump. It goes both ways.
> MSM would not be villainizing other candidates to this degree because Trump IS a villain.
You're just parroting #MSM talking points here, not proving that I'm wrong.
> He’s the poster child for scummy businessmen…a caricature, really. I would not be saying the same things because I’ve been well aware of what a selfish asshole Trump is for 20 years…and he’s only gotten worse.
Then why was he so well liked while he was a businessman? Nobody hated him until the #MSM criticized him.
I recently joined a gym. That's given me about an hour a day of Fox News exposure. As bad as I thought it was, it is far worse. The biggest news events coverage were about how illegal immigrants are behind the unprecedented crime waves afflicting all cities. Meanwhile crime is now back to pre-pandemic levels and even at its pandemic height was still at multi-decade lows. Also, Democrats are giving illegal immigrants free housing, food, phones, and laptops. Why? "Oh you know why..." Readers get to fill in the blanks with that sort of lede. Then we had the completely political hack attack on Trump even though he's never done anything wrong, a major scandal around Hunter Biden's congressional testimony and Fauci's assistant's testimony around something else. That's the big news. The right has a profitable multi-billion dollar industry, far beyond Fox News, to propagandize. There is no counter-balance. And don't say the supposedly liberal MSM. AT best they are led around by the nose by the right wing media and politicians. At worst they have similarly sympathetic coverage when it comes to things like properly addressing wealth inequality, monopolies/trusts, and holding rich powerful people to account. #rant#uspoli#msm#foxnews
I listened to part of Morning Joe this morning and has he lost his mind? He was going on about college students demonstrating for #Hamas. What is his major malfunction? I know he's a conservative but yuck. The students are demonstrating against obvious Israeli gov't war crimes & their schools' various types of ties to Israel & the war. Joe Scarborough's biases make him sound like a liar or an idiot. Giving the Israeli gov't a pass isn't a moral good.
What's going on in the trial against tRump is NOT a "hush-money trial". It's a trial about tRump interfering in the 2016 election paying $130,000 to keep the fact that he had an affair hidden from the public.
It's about election interference!
Every damn time the #MSM calls it "hush-money" hides the real facts. tRump and his minions hid information from voters that would have impacted the 2016 election.
"Democratic frustration with pol #MSM was probably destined to boil over -long overdue +wish they'd better places to turn than celebrity interviewers/influencers.
I'm asking you to rise up to the seriousness of the moment; move past: horse-race numbers/gotcha moments/distractions/
sideshows -come to dominate & sensationalize our politics; & focus on what’s actually at stake…. Every single one of us has…a serious role to play in making sure #democracy endures." https://www.offmessage.net/p/democrats-breaking-up-with-mainstream-media
Media reports say Hunter Biden's attorneys have sent a letter to Fox News threatening an imminent lawsuit for allegedly defaming the president's son and unlawfully publishing “hacked” images.
Absolutely awesome Member of the European Parliament Guy Verhofstadt of Belgium tells the speaker to stick his agenda somewhere where the sun does not shine, because now we will vote on more air defence systems to Ukraine. AND WINS THE VOTE BY 515 TO 62!
But but the #MSM tells me the #EU is disfunctional and can’t come to an agreement.
Oh how the tables turn. Meanwhile the #putin financed #gop keeps blocking aid to #ukraine
"Political leaders who framed this ... as Israel’s right to defend itself, "#journalists" who peddled fictional horror stories about #beheadedbabies and #massrape on #7October, and editors who day in, day out ignored stories about aid convoys being targeted by Israeli forces are rushing for cover.
All the arguments they used to maintain this slaughter are crumbling in their hands..."
