@froomkin @NicholsUprising All the money in the world won't make people watch or read the content. They look for controversy and titillation. The answer is to hold journalists to a standard of full truth and context, and separating opinion from news. Will require legislation. Remember equal time?

@ty_thompson7 You have grown tremendously at Oregon and your resolve has been appreciated by all of us with you. Football is all about competition- between teams and for positions. If you think you should and can be the starter then compete for it and prove it. We love and support you, Ty.

Our major media are doing to Biden the same thing they did to Hilary Clinton- recycling Republican misinformation.

[John Harwood @JohnJHarwood]

this is why the media needs to do better explaining what economic conditions actually are, and where they're headed

our job is conveying an accurate picture of the world, not recirculating mistaken views Americans have absorbed from sources that are partisan or seeking clicks

@ChattJazz @glennkirschner2 @CheriJacobus @BadBradRSR @MalcolmNance The DOJ already had these videos, a fact lost to brain trust Johnson. Now he claims it's to protect the rioters from harassment.

@slayer_agolf How about WTF media? 1930's Germany all over again.

[AmericaAdrift @larry_author]

@BruceBartlett How do we "cope" with vast ecological destruction and death from violent storms, rising seas, famines and water shortage, and the concomitant wars over diminishing resources? There is no coping. Just eventual extinction and death of the planet.

@BruceBartlett Hey Mitt. Where were you when Republicans opposed every immigration reform bill, put forth by Dems, aimed at solving the border issues?

[AmericaAdrift @larry_author]

@jayrosen_nyu The parallels to the rise of Nazi Germany grow more evident every day. A complicit, muted media allowed the monster to rise from the sewer then, and our timid, profit at all costs, media is doing the same now.

[AmericaAdrift @larry_author]

@froomkin The "elite media" didn't miss Trump's radical, authoritarian pronouncements, they glorified them because it meant $$. Trump has now said he will come after the media if elected. I wonder if they will glorify that? It's Nazi Germany all over again.

@BruceBartlett America does have the best healthcare- not health system- for the very wealthy. The "system" is designed to place the burden on the masses, who receive middling to no care. These same RWers are also now attacking healthcare providers, causing many to leave the profession.

@GoDucks @oregonfootball We are playing.....whom?

[AmericaAdrift @larry_author]

@johncanzanobft Please explain to me the thought process that puts the #8 team, that lost to a CFP team twice by a FG, against the #23 the Fiesta Bowl. Second, why would NFL hopefuls bother playing in this nothing burger of a game that's a lose-lose proposition?

[AmericaAdrift @larry_author]

@oregonfootball @Fiesta_Bowl Well, I guess this tells us what the Committee thinks of the #2 PAC 12 team- not worthy of a P5 opponent? What a total disrespect and insult. Makes me want to see us beat tOSU and Michigan all the more next year.

[AmericaAdrift @larry_author]

@dawn_macc They went Fisching and caught some wins. Well done! Now if the Ducks beat the Dawgs it will be a perfect week.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Senator Tommy Tuberville just said that the reason he continues to block military promotions is because women in the military may try to get “abortions after birth.”
Yes, he said that. 🤦‍♂️

We’re electing idiots.

@comcast is equivocating (studying) Musks endorsement of antisemitic speech on X while other advertisers clearly reject it and are ceasing advertising on X and condemning Musk's conduct. Tell Comcast what you think of their "moral dilemma."

[AmericaAdrift @larry_author]

@jayrosen_nyu Our mainstream, corporate media are blind to the fascism that is upon us and will be until the fascists come for them. The booing and laughing at the legitimate question to Johnson about his involvement in the attempted overthrow was the canary in the coal mine.
