"Let’s face it: we can no longer call the majority of major news orgs 'mainstream.' Their bogus headlines, fear-mongering, and pro-Trump propaganda peddling has wreaked absolute havoc on our society, and I’m sick of it.
From now on, we will refer to them as 'corporate media.'”

"So, just to review: Trump blamed the families, who 'could have' put out the videos and photographs, it could have been 'TikTok people,' or it could have been 'people in the administration.'"

/8Trump doubles down on dishonor
I should have known that I would still be writing about Trump’s desecration of Arlington National Cemetery almost a week later. I’ve had help: Trump himself won’t let the story go, most recently at a rally yesterday in Michigan, where after bragging that he was “on time” for the wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and complaining about how hard it had been for him to get there, Trump started in on dishonoring the families who invited him.

"All over the internet this week, bloggers and commentators and pundits have been marveling, once again, that every time you think Trump can’t go any lower with his lies and outrages and moral degradation, he comes up with a new low.
This time, as he has before, he has chosen to denigrate and dishonor soldiers who served their country in uniform, some of them sacrificing their lives in war."

"I come from a family of soldiers. I was a soldier, my brother was a soldier, my father was a soldier, my great aunt was a colonel in the Women’s Army Corps and a nurse at Anzio, both of my grandfathers were soldiers, and now my son is a soldier. ...
Trump has made this personal. He must be beaten on November 5 and beaten soundly. He is beneath the contempt of my family and yours."

@MikeF I think they don't ever appear in the same sentence when it comes to his own view of himself.

@bouriquet You'd hope the media would be doing that kind of digging, wouldn't you?

@the5thColumnist Yes, that's his outlook, astonishingly crude and juvenile as it is: he's winning the Internet! And yet, he's not doing so in the least — only in his head.

@wdlindsy I gave up on "main stream news" long ago. I get my news from DW, BBC, and France24. Slanted? Yes, but easy to spot and ignore.
Local news from many local news outlets. I never pay much attention to any single group of outlets. When a seemingly OTW or extreme story breaks I ignore it until confirmed by a few other independent sources.
I ignore many partisan stories (left, right, up, down, forwards, backwards, etc.)
News must be confirmed by independent souces.

since the media has chosen fascism, they're not going to risk finding out that a big old fat man or his armed Secret Service goons pushed around a woman soldier physically
in other words, i think the reason for not diving deeper is obvious-- if a "staffer" had committed the assault, that person would have a name & the blame

@wdlindsy He’s a buffoon. Taking whatever he wants without apology as usual.
Brace for more.
This will only get worse until we’re rid of him.
