So glad they continue to treat him like a goofy oddball instead of someone who will do anything for power, revenge, and self-aggrandizement

hemry, these Trumpian attacks on the free press are beneath you

Coming around to the idea that these reporters are not with our people

They absolutely want Trump again because of the ratings. Didn't the CNN Pres even say in so many words Trump is bad for democracy but good for business?

That was Les Moonves, head of CBS. "It may not be good for America, but it's damn good for CBS."

Oh figures it would be that motherfucker... How the fuck he still gets hired after trashing practically every radio entity that he's ran just shows me meritocracy is a god damn myth.

Meritocracy was always a myth.

He wants to imprison and end journalists. How can they not see they are courting their own destruction?

Much like German society in the 30's, the thought is that if Capital courts and appeases the populist demagogue, that he'll be "under control" and his power restricted/contained. Yeah, not how that works when dealing with autocrats who's only mission is to gain ultimate power.

enemy of the people, even

It's one of the worst deals we've ever had

big men with tears in their eyes reading the opinion columns

The free press should stop going for the shallowest things imaginable then?

If they’re going to insist on reporting on his “jokes,” then at least report how badly he flubs them. Yesterday he re-told his favorite Hannibal Lecter “joke,” which is really just a movie quote of a joke that wasn’t all that funny, and he told it wrong. He’s not funny AND he’s a dipshit.

That “joke,” as Trump told it: Hannibal Lecter is a nice guy. He even had a friend over for dinner.” Over. Joke ruined. Total grandpa joke wreckage.

Some DC reporters coming in with a crush-like “but did he mention me”

NAME AND SHAME THESE FUCKOS

narcissists of a feather flock together

Hollywood for ugly people.

The dumbest thing about this is that Trump is not even a funny person except accidentally

A lot of people confuse abuse and humor.

Hasan Minhaj had this joke about the political press he did at WHCD: “it’s like watching stripper cops try to solve a real murder”. Hilarious.

News shouldn't be entertainment, it shouldn't be sports, and it shouldn't be comedy.

She should name them.

tRump does plenty of "funny" stuff. It's just not "ha-ha funny"

Lots of liberals unfortunately bought into the right-wing idea that the mainstream/corporate media are liberal-aligned... and this turned out to be completely false! Its a huge fucking mistake to have never developed your own media organs and strategies on how to deal with a hostile institution.

Liberals have thought for two decades: “oh if we just do the correct thing reality will bear out the results and people will recognize it and be convinced” NO. Objective reality doesn’t EXIST if you cede everything to other people. You have to do actual work of messaging or you exist in theirs.

The more things change

Sex pests gotta stick together.

He sold a lot of papers and they want him back so bad.

The press is increasingly controlled by those affiliated with those who wish to see our democracy overthrown.

It is possible to find and - very important! - financially support REAL news organizations. The Guardian (which has a US edition) ProPublica - breaker of many stories the MSM eventually carries ...and a host of regional/specialty news orgs, like Texas Observer.

I want to know what proportion of political editors started out as sports reporters.

Ahhh, journalism

They can't challenge them because they'll be thrown off the buses. Be nice or be removed. Knowing how journalism is these days, they're not going to get access so they're going to lose their jobs.

True and on the other side Biden needs to be hounded for all the blood on his hands and pry promises broken as well. Or else truth has no meaning and it just becomes a political tool.

Underpaid, easily laid off, tucker and others providing SCANDALOUS TIDBITS ready-made, billionaires hungry for no regulations and taxes, all to a public that doesnt wanna pay for news. Its no surprise theres no journalistic discipline.

Beyond this being stupid, it's evident to anyone watching that Trump is too melted and eaten up by resentment to be funny anymore.

Gotta love the political press thinking that, at some point, he won’t come for them too. That happened quite a long time ago.. like, in 2016. They’ve learned nothing, part 3,746,337.

I said to them, I'm going to send them to the gulags. They didn't believe me, they said "sir, you can't send us to the gulags, there's freedom of the press" and I said "Watch me." And now they're in the gulags.

our goofy lil guy of an autocrat, the smol bean tyrant uwu

This is so fucking depressing.

The political press continue to be terrible. It's just a game for them.

I gave an old friend that says he's a great stand up comedian. Makes me puke. He's not a very smart old friend and think he says it to piss me off.

There is nothing funny about project 2025, the thought of Stephen Miller,Michael Flynn coming back to freak me out.

Whistling past the graveyard

Fair and balanced.

One of the main reasons I do not watch the news and rarely read political news on MSM sites, is pure 🐎 💩

Seems like a strategy to get Rs off guard & off message? I don't disagree that things are bad and we are in dire times!
