Karl Bode: the consolidated, center-right billionaire owned press continues to shift the editorial overton window rightward and if you can't see it you're either complicit or oblivious

the consolidated, center-right billionaire owned press continues to shift the editorial overton window rightward and if you can't see it you're either complicit or oblivious

Such a nonsense piece. She overturned Roe and supported immunity for Trump!

she also just basically turned consumer protection regulators into the legal policy equivalent of decorative gourds how free thinking of her

What a gal!

Live, Laugh, Love your theocratic masters!

I cackled. 😂

Charting a path to a Christofascist monarchy is charting a course… I guess?? Straight to hell is a direction.

a piercing dismantling of basic human healthcare rights

As if any other decision she’s been involved in will matter now that she’s helped destroy the rule of law. She pierced us alright, like a needle through an eye.

Let me ask you some piercing questions before I take your rights away, peons.

so piercing!

Pierce that veil, grrrl!!

Haven't read it and don't expect I will so here's a guess: she's a 'maverick', asks the hard questions, could be the new model for kinder, gentler fascism? an advocate for friendly workhouses for all ages...?

Softer, gentler Christofascism

Fascism with a human face.

gotta hand it to ’er

"Those other guys took 6 steps to make Trump a king, but I got there in 7, to play it safe."

This is so embarrassing. She asks hard questions and then votes like the rest of the crooked six. MAVERICK.

BrEakiNg rAnKs by having a more nuanced opinion (but still siding with the majority) 😎

This is very obvious with CNN, who apparently want to attract the Fox viewers. After Hunter Biden gets finished suing Fox doubt there'll be anymore fox News

CNN, CBS, even NPR all tripping over themselves to be extra friendly to the authoritarian party

I'm about ready to turn it all off...my mood SUX.

you are not alone

If you didn't notice NPR's deference to the sensibilities of major donors ages ago...

Since I have streaming tv now, I don't think I get NPR (OPB) anymore.

Ok sure "piercing questions" or whatever nonsense, but at the end of the day still the reliable 6th vote in every terrible decision that's destroying democracy.

Broke ranks? Lmao. Groomed from childhood to do what she's doing.

Ah, the moderate handmaiden. Sorry, not buying this.

Written by the daughter of Bill Marimow, who killed the Baltimore Sun and was immortalized in the Wire as Charles Marimow, crooked shift commander who tanks the unit and destroys their investigation. thewire.fandom.com/wiki/Charles...

Charles Marimowthewire.fandom.com Charles Marimow is a shift lieutenant in the Baltimore Police Department. He briefly served as the commander of the Major Crimes Unit in 2006 to curtail their investigation into political corruption. ...

So brave that she mildly dissented to a little bit of the court’s overreach but went along anyway

bold maverick stuff!

Very Mavricky. She goes where they wish Palen had.

That path includes legalizing bribery and giving a president immunity to break the law.

"With piercing questions about permissible work hours and permissible beating severity, Virginia slave owners are charting their own course apart from cotton fields in Alabama and sugarcane fields of Jamaica"

A Catholic cultist stakes out the sensible center of American politics. Utterly absurd.

It’s blatantly obvious

you would think, and yet I'd wager at least half of the people at major media outlets would deny it

Is it even center right? They might think they are but if they're carrying water for the far right, what does that make them...?

Indeed. Scary shit.

She was put in the role for a reason and she is doing her part #project2025 older than u think shift right ☝️

I have made peace with the reality of systemic media complicity. No combination of profit and stupidity would get us here.

yeah it would take some kind of foundational, revolutionary shift I don't think this country has the will or competency for AND a big push for publicly funded media that's impossible due to the generational demonization of the concept

Will it be . . again, the women of America save the nation? It feels like a pattern emerging.

Just because she had some quibbles with the majority is a laughable basis for this. Does a concurrence change anything? It functionally does not. These people really think none of this will ever impact them.

I'd be shocked if there's not some drudgery in the story about her work-life balance as a mom who enjoys cookouts or some other equivalent stupid bullshit

Look, how else will Americans get used to living in an autocracy buttressed by judicial fiat if our press system doesn't enable it and normalize it for us?

Ann E Marimow, Harvard graduate. So, yeah, this is par for the course

And check out my bikini bod, and weep, RBG. Clarence, Sam, who wants me to make them a nice sandwich?

"What would Jeebus do?"

Sure
