Donald Ham :sp_pride:I used to subscribe to --The New York Times (gutless, blinded by arrogance)--and The Washington Post and The LA Times (our billionaire owners really believe, nudge nudge wink wink in a free press)Now I support The Guardian every month. Margaret Sullivan reminds us of this central failing of the sources we once trusted.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/17/trump-biden-election-media-coverage" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/17/trump-biden-election-media-coverage</a><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/NewYorkTimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewYorkTimes</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WashingtonPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WashingtonPost</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TheGuardian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheGuardian</a>

AnarchoNinaAnalyzesA lot of things have changed, mostly for the worst, between the first and second Trump presidency. For example, during our first dance with assclown fascism under Downmarket Mussolini, American corporate media made a massive show of "opposing" Trump; despite the fact that I (and many other observers) pointed out that their coverage of the administration typically benefitted the regime more often than it hurt them, and the class solidarity inherent to corporate media outlets often resulted in them covering up for the wealthy donors and supporters that propped up Trump's administration until the precise moment it became clear he wasn't going to win a second term in 2020. The story has been quite different here in the second Trump era however; as this Guardian article notes, despite Trump's threats and smears towards the media, corporate outlets like WaPo, LA Times, and now CBS have willingly collaborated with Trump's fascist regime and agenda. What changed? As it turns out, the whims and financial motivations of billionaire reactionaries who own corporate media companies.<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/11/trump-media-journalists-60-minutes" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/11/trump-media-journalists-60-minutes</a>Trump complains the US media aren’t bending to his will. Aren’t they?"Despite that acquiescence, Trump has continued to threaten journalists, branding pollsters “negative criminals” who “should be investigated for election fraud”. In April, he attacked “radical lunatic Democrats and their comrades in the fake news media”, adding: “Those lying to the American People on behalf of violent criminals have to be held responsible by the Agencies and the Courts.”The attacks overlook the ways in which some outlets have submitted to Trump’s will – either by executives settling frivolous lawsuits or wealthy owners interfering to avoid upsetting Trump.Jeff Bezos, the Washington Post owner, ordered an overhaul to the paper’s editorial pages in February that effectively muzzled the newspaper’s criticism of Trump. The Los Angeles Times dropped its endorsement of Kamala Harris under pressure from Patrick Soon-Shiong, its billionaire owner.In December, ABC News settled a Trump lawsuit, in a move first amendment experts said could foster more attacks on the media. And in another blow, the owner of CBS News is said to be considering settling a $10bn lawsuit brought against the network over the editing of a Kamala Harris interview."Folks, this is a story about greed and cowardice and that's not just my opinion. Trump isn't right, and the activities he's undertaking to cow the American media, be they government investigations or frivolous lawsuits, have no basis in the law. If folks like Jeff Bezos, Patrick Soon-Shiong, and Shari Redstone wanted to fight this, they'd win. Since surrendering and collaborating is more profitable to these billionaire leeches however, they're directing their media companies to roll over. Furthermore, the cost of this collaboration with fascism goes far beyond the mitigation of Trump criticism in our media environment; with billionaire media barons kissing his ring, and corporate outlets scrambling to settle his obscenely conspiratorial lawsuits based on open lies, the Kelpto Kaiser will now argue that he's been right about the media all along and that justifies further cracking down on the so-called "free press" in America. Collaborating with fascism, will merely breed more fascism; not that any of these rich reactionaries who own media companies seem to give a shit at all.As someone who engages in a lot of media criticism and analysis, I can't say any of this is surprising to me; if anything, corporate media's outward posture of hostility towards Trump at points during his first administration is the historical aberration here. For profit media in America has always consistently sided with power and the state; after all the same class of people who own corporate media companies, also own most of the country. Just because we can easily predict class solidarity and billionaire ownership rolling over for fascism however, doesn't change the horrifying reality of what's going on here; nobody is handing out Pulitzer's here, but both WaPo and the LA Times did some excellent critical reporting during the first Trump regime and have been nowhere as effective here in Der Leader's second term. This is a big win for the Kelpto Kaiser; which makes it a devastating loss for all of us who don't want the fascists to win.<a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Media</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Collaboration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Collaboration</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Capitalism</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CorporateMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CorporateMedia</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/WashingtonPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WashingtonPost</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/LATimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LATimes</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/CBS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CBS</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/60Minutes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#60Minutes</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ShariRedstone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ShariRedstone</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/JeffBezos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JeffBezos</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PatrickSoonShiong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PatrickSoonShiong</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#censorship</a>

Steve's PlaceDear Washington Post, New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, and all of the other professional frauds selling bubble-wrapped democracy.You did it! We are the Nazis now!America was supposed to destroy Nazis, not elect a Nazi-loving congress that would seat a SCOTUS full of them to act as petty dictators alongside a lunatic tyrant who imagines he's the leader of WWII Germany, threatening neighbors and incarcerating victims in foreign concentration camps without trial. A Nazi whose overt Nazi pal and his trained monkeys are rampaging through federal government institutions, destroying everything that could hold them to account, as Democrats grandstand and bitch. As oath-takers bend down to kiss the ring or be removed. As members of congress amass great wealth for themselves using the power of their positions to make money.The Nazis are stopping vehicles LEAVING America, headed into CANADA!You did it! We are Nazis now!Oh, El Salvador, liberty's beacon!Hitler adored his foreign concentration camps. Out of sight, out of mind.He hated his neighbors, too. He made threats, sought appeasements, and then invaded anyway.Hitler was a butcher of humans. Those emulating a butcher of humans hold power by virtue of Americans electing them. What does that say about us?When an efficiency-limited budget for concentration camps runs thin, with so many "undesirables" coming, Nazi leaders will tell the court that they had to begin gassing them to death and burning the piles of their bodies, stripped naked of anything of value by Nazi scum, because it would be inefficient not to.Don't think for an instant that any of us will be spared the vitriol we deserve for our generational racism and governmental unwillingness to address it within political parties or mass media.Democrats will be called Nazis, too. So will independents.We will deserve everything coming our way because we didn't act when we could have. Because we allowed Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, and all of the other Nazi propagandists to own American minds and hearts.Because everyone was making money. Out of sight, out of mind. Listen to hate radio! Watch the TV! We must buy! Buy! BUY! Pay no attention to the Nazi scum behind the curtain! We were attacked on 9/11? All part of the plan. We were instructed to go shopping.You did it! You! The Fourth Estate! We love you guys!Politicians on "both sides" allowed lying sacks of shit moneymakers to profiteer off of the goddamned Civil War, a war about racism, and how extremely profitable racism was for a tiny group of wealthy racist, sexist men who were willing to destroy everything for their businesses to get a better price selling cotton picked by slaves they could abuse with impunity.After WWII we had public service messages about other people's strange-sounding names, and how we will work together. We had required equal time for opposing political views so the Nazis didn't dominate the airwaves with hate speech.So quaint. So fucking quaint.You did it, Fourth Estate gatekeepers! We are the Nazis now, and we owe it all to your loving care!We sure as hell wouldn't be here without you.Don't worry your pretty little heads about this for one minute. We'll never forget you.Hey, remember when y'all fretted about "the first Catholic president" and whether he'd be "ruled by the Vatican?"You were Nazis then. I'd take the last 2 Popes over any Republican POTUS we've had since y'all sold the coverup after his political rivals made damn sure Kennedy never drew another breath.You did it!<a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/USpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USpolitics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/Republicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Republicans</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/Democrats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Democrats</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/independents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#independents</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#media</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/NewYorkTimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewYorkTimes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/NYT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NYT</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/WashingtonPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WashingtonPost</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/MSNBC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MSNBC</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/CNN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CNN</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/radio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#radio</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/television" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#television</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#news</a> <a href="https://mastodon.stevesworld.co/tags/Nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nazis</a>
