Right on - The mainstream media have been failing this country for years. They have failed to recognize their own personal biases or see themselves as judges and guides for what they believe society should be. Objectivity is a foreign concept.
As much as last night was an indictment of the Democratic Party for misleading party members and the country about the mental acuity and health of the president, the media deserve far more derision and scorn.
I and others were repeatedly criticized by the media for questioning the competency of the president. Among other false accusations, I was accused of spreading misleading videos which clearly showed Biden’s deterioration.
Do you remember the heavily excerpted and edited @POTUS Biden @60Minutes interview where the interviewer covered for the president by saying he was ‘very tired?’
@60Minutes knew.
The @nytimes knew.
@CNN knew.
@MSNBC knew.
Left wing media have had total and complete access to the president, his staff, and his administration.
They all knew, but they told you otherwise. They outright lied to you.
When Robert Hur, the special counsel who deposed the president, said that the president was not fit to stand trial and therefore chose not to bring charges, the media described him as a tool of the Republican Party and character assassinated him.
When the @WSJ recently published a several-thousand-word, carefully researched, front page piece on the president’s mental and physical health, it was described by left wing media as outright propaganda.
Now consider who has been feeding you propaganda.
A favored technique of some of the most evil leaders in history was to mislead the people by constantly repeating the Big Lie.
The Big Lie is so audacious that people accept it as truth because it is repeated so often that how can it be that something so important and material could be an outright falsehood?
In this case the Big Lie was our president’s fitness for office, let alone a second term.
A media organization is not supposed to be a branch of the Democratic Party.
The media have a profound obligation to tell the truth to the American people, particularly about something as critical for the country as the president’s mental and physical health.
People very close to me, my closest family and friends, trusted the media on Biden until the @CNN commentators finally owned up to the truth about Biden last night.
For months I have been accused by many friends and family of being misled by an @X-based ‘right wing echo chamber.’
The sad reality is that one of our most important institutions, the so-called ‘Fourth Estate,’ fourth only after the clergy, the nobility, and the commoners, has destroyed any remaining credibility it has.
Consider how your perception of @POTUS Biden and @realDonaldTrump has been manipulated.
The media can no longer save itself.
A suggestion. Rely on empirical data as much as possible. Listen to what someone actually said, rather than a headline summary or article about what someone said.
Get your news from people who have a track record of telling the truth, people who do so at significant personal cost like whistleblowers.
I follow broad constituencies on @X on multiple issues. That has led me closer to the truth. Citizen journalism has been a much more accurate representation of reality.
Thank you @elonmusk for saving this platform. It gives us a fighting chance to save our democracy.
I'm with you. Yes we saw an elderly leader who struggled , but at least we know where he & his team stands . We can't risk Trump who diverted every single question, but one into an insult.
@brhodes I saw a sociopath who is a pathological liar try to bully a man who was trying desperately to provide correct information— accurately but too much of it. I wonder if this response is more common among women who have experienced it personally, or if I'm just bad at optics.
@WalshFreedom There was no debate. Trump answered 1 question re abortion & diverted all others into insults. The moderators failed to point out the obfuscation.
What we saw on the debate stage Thursday night has been plain to see for a long time by anyone not blinded by bias. Politicians pretending Biden was fine might be understandable to some extent, but the refusal of journalists to see what was plainly there was inexcusable.
The moderators failed to note that Trump didn't answer a single question other than the one on abortion. Even re: accepting the coming election results, he said no, i.e. only under my conditions. He diverted every single question to an insult. At least we know where Biden stands
These Daniel Dale fact checks on 28 of trump's debate lies would have been more welcome DURING the debate, but still important to get these facts out.
SPREAD THIS LIKE CRAZY.
You know where I stand on Trump, so let me say this. Bcuz of what Biden is doing right now with Israel, people in the middle, who can’t stand Trump and never wanted to vote for him, will now do the unthinkable and vote for him.
Biden is blowing this. He’s losing the center.
Bill Maher's ending monologue on children being 'entrapped' into Gender Identity politics was one of his best ever:
"Contrary to current progressive dogma: Children aren't miniature adults wise beyond their years, they're morons. They're gullible morons who'll believe anything and just want to please grown ups. They don't have any frame of reference, so they normalize whatever is happening.
That's why endlessly talking about gender to six year olds isn't just inappropriate, it's what the law would call entrapment. Which means enticing people into doing something they wouldn't ordinarily do.
Entrapment, suggesting someone into something they wouldn't otherwise do. And if you think some of that isn't going on with gender in schools, you're not watching enough Tik Tok videos.
There's a certain kind of activist these days who wants to take heterosexuality and lump it in with patriarchy and sexism and racism and tell kids: 'Wouldn't it be cool if you were anything but that?'
That also seems to be the theme of a lot of kids books these days.
Maybe we should think about giving kids a break from our culture wars for a minute, or at least until the election is over."
In this polarized era, the House is on the verge of doing something remarkable- passage of bipartisan laws, opposed by the wings of both parties. The result would be helping Israel, fighting Putin, and helping Taiwan against China. @SpeakerJohnson deserves huge credit.
