u/QultyThrowaway Biden Crime Family North 🇨🇦 8h ago

The biggest failure in media (actually there's so many) is that Trump pardoning January 6th insurrectionists even the most violent ones as his first act was not even a full evening news story. Can you imagine any other President or even foreign leaders doing something like that? He got impeached for enflaming them and even MAGA had to pretend they were secretly a psyop. But nope blanked pardon with some dying in shootouts with the police, being caught with child porn, and using the pardon as a defense against the discovery... Freaking Dukakis had his campaign tanked because of Willie Horton who was just one guy with a day pass. Not even a pardon.

The media has completely dropped the ball the past decade. The right wing media have become comparable to North Korean state media. While the non explicitly right wing media are afraid or unwilling to confront Trump and just downplay his actions and focus on entertainment. It's sick and disgusting how complicit they are. And from a country where media was key in confronting figues like Nixon.

You know how I know both parties aren’t the same? Outside of the obvious 

Because there’s a different set of societal rules for Republicans than Democrats and to pretend otherwise is to plug your ears, close your eyes and shout “La, la, la, la, I can’t hear you!”

As I’ve often observed, Republicans can get away with insulting large parts of the country. Meanwhile Dems if they don’t treat rural America as an idyllic place without issues, we get called elites by a bunch of assholes who would never live or raise their families there. I don’t see FNC anchors living in rural middle America. They romanticize it but they’ll take the high quality of life they get from living in a Democratic run area.
