This ‘Elon leaving politics’ story is such bullshit. Another example of the media being stenographers instead of reporting. Musk is seeding this story in order to try to stem the hemorrhaging at Tesla. He’s already said that he will ‘have to’ remain involved with DOGE to stop the ‘massive fraud and waste’ he’s uncovered from coming ‘rushing back’ the second he leaves.
Stop repeating his lies.
I like Abby Phillip and admire her ability to remain calm, but I cannot do likewise, so for the sake of my cardiovascular health I should stop watching her show. My blood pressure reaches alarming levels when she refers to Musk as "Elon".
I used to pride myself on being able to spot any Postmedia article by the headline alone. Now that Trudeau is leaving, it is less than 100% because Postmedia has to find things to write about other than "<fill in the blank> is Trudeau's fault" The bias is still there, but it is less pronounced.
Amanda Katz, who stepped down from her role on the Post’s Opinion team at the end of 2024, called the change “an absolute abandonment of the principles of accountability of the powerful, justice, democracy, human rights, and accurate information that previously animated the section in favor of a white male billionaire’s self-interested agenda.” #USPolitics #Bezos #WaPo #freedomOfThePress #USMedia #TechBros #Broligarchy

Newsman Jim Acosta leaves CNN after corporate suits tried exiling him to a midnight time slot.
Said Acosta, "As the son of a Cuban immigrant, I know it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant."
Of course, that's exactly what CNN's management has done.

“You’ve got to stop covering him like he’s just another politician, with a different agenda,” Johnston told me recently. “He’s a criminal and a con artist. And that has to be central to everything you cover about him.”

A number of democratic socialist countries in Europe with universal health care, other great public services, higher standard of living, better quality of life, and longer life expectancy than the US have many excellent employment opportunities for people in various trades, disciplines, skills, or qualifications.

@SteveThompson Sure looks like fascist capitalist Musk and fascist propagandist Carlson had a grand old time fapping one another to the detriment of the political process in the US.

“Michael Pack was a terrible manager, an overzealous political hack who did not care about the law or mission of the agency. In other words, he is the template for the second term #Trump appointees. Pack went further than most in his efforts, and therefore offers a warning of what a second term would look like when the Trump administration is full of loyalists who act like Pack.” —Don Moynihan

Jake Tapper and Dana Bash are the two biggest pro-genocide supporters working in American news media right now.
They use their platform to spread lies and misinformation that enable the US-backed Israeli genocide.
They belong behind bars, and should be scorned and reviled by anyone with an ounce of human decency.
Who's old enough to remember when Oliver North WAS the news, not just on the news?

#USmedia--which are trustworthy and reliable
Very few.
One of them is The Economist.--Check the analysis column in the Harvard link.
Others are the The Atlantic, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, The Texas Observer, and The Guardian, as well as Foreign Affairs.
There are more, but these are the first that come to mind.
Mixed bags: The Hill and Newsweek.
(2/2)
IMO, we should stop quoting MAGA/"Conservative" media, unless they are the only source, and then, only in a truth sandwich.
The media houses to avoid giving reach to, like the #WallStreetJournal, or the #WashintonExaminer, or #Newsweek and virtually all "opinion contributer" pieces of #TheHill, among others, are evident.
#HarvardUniversity has done a fine job analyzing US media organizations:

#USmedia--who's who
Der diesjährige Wahlkampf in den USA wird nicht nur über das Schicksal der USA in der nächsten Dekade, sondern auch ihrer Bündnispartner in Europa und in
Ozeanien/Asien entscheiden.
Fast alle Medienhäuser sind im Wahlkampf involviert.
Nennungen und Reichweite garantieren diesen Firmen ihren Einfluss. Manche haben seit Jahren kein Geld verdient...
Aus der Tabelle kann man viel ableiten:

True, however, it is worse: 
giving fascists a platform to spread their agenda makes their lies more plausible and credible for their target groups. By repeating them, they become "mainstream"
for a big part of the population.
This is working in other countries, too (e. g. Front National, France, and AfD, Germany.)
Many of the US mainstream media are owned by egocentric, sympathetic billionaires wanting further tax cuts for the super rich, only makes things worse
