What frustrates the hell out of me is that these warning flags are being raised in opinion sections and not in main articles in news outlets. It also frustrates me that local news outlets, where a vast majority of people throughout America still get their news, has not been covering this at all.
That’s because the local outlets are all controlled by Sinclair group which is a right wing corporation. All thanks to Ajit Pai’s FCC throwing out a rule that prevented it.
That fucking guy is a true a piece of shit.
The argument isn’t that they aren’t covering it, it’s that they covered it and haven’t continued reporting it over and over again.
But it happened 4 days ago, and as I search right now there are articles from the New York Times, USA Today, NBC News, CNN, The Hill, all from the last 24hrs. They ARE still covering it.
And the articles mostly call it out as echoing Nazi language, I don’t see how you could claim that they aren’t covering it negatively enough either.
There is just nothing to this complaint.
I see how you mean, but the complaint is that “Trump echoes Nazi language” is the most limp, passive and normalizing spin possible. The man is unhinged and utterly disastrous. Use those words, say that.
They “can’t” because “journalism” which I also disagree with, but it’s a different conversation.
As far as there being articles about the speech, that’s not at issue. Corporate news outlets have a huge guilty verdict against them for running cover for trump at every level in 2016. From the tone, to the spin, to the format, to the rationale; “both sides” and “her emails” and 1000 hot takes as to Clinton’s perceived missteps it all worked hand-in-hand with russian hacking, propaganda, and illegal campaign contributions to support trump.
If corporate news wants to live in a free and fair democracy, the have GOT to figure out how to call trump what he is, because this format from the 50’s will doom us all. This speech is a prime example.
Saying he is echoing nazi language is only normalizing what he says if nazi language itself is normalized. And if that were the case, you have way bigger problems than you realize.
We have way bigger problems then we realize…
The media wants the clicks they can get.
MSM NEWS: MEDIA NOT COVERING TRUMP BEING NAZI!
I’ve said this elsewhere in another topic, but the News Media has a vested financial interest in a second Trump presidency, because people eventually burn out on the daily mass shooting coverage and various orphan grinding reports.
But trump? people turned in every day to find out what latest buffoonery the incompetent pumpkin faced buffoon did, with no burn out, with no exhaustion. Driving ratings, and viewership numbers.
and they will do everything they can to celebrate his actions in outlandish news coverage, while minimizing the worst parts of it, So everyone will watch the dancing monkey’s dancing, with the ultimate goal being a second Trump presidency and all the delicious attention and ratings that would bring with it.
The media has fully given up on giving pushback to anything when it comes to any powerful person or corporation.
And yet I’ve somehow heard about it a hundred times in 2 days from the media.
Yeah it’s been pretty well discussed on multiple platforms. Literally every social media platform, plus AP News, etc.
AP is literally quoting a senator about how a Trump presidency would be a disaster, one of the top stories this morning: https://apnews.com/article/west-virginia-joe-manchin-senate-5fa02d965a72526488859bc0866c06dd
Zoomers expect the MSM to make everything an editorial.
I believe every show on MSNBC opened with it. Is that not MS enough?
Some news sources have taken to producing articles that are essentially drawn out virtue signalling tweets. I’m guessing because they are often met with a positive reception on Twitter, as well as a lot of head nodding and smug knowing looks.
It’s moral grandstanding without an ounce of actual conviction and, ultimately, click bait.
The corporate news media will absolutely not stop Donald Trump. He will cut their investors’ taxes.
The media just wants clicks. They don’t care if it’s good news, bad news, fake news, etc.

Course it did, they haven’t learned that “Fairness” is a scam when you’ve got a bad faith agent
It’s not like they can call him out on it. They might get death threats from his nazi followers.
