I fully agree trusted news sources from the past have let us down. I don’t think Trump would have narrowly won in 16 without fawning Trump press&over the top negative press for Hillary Clinton.
However, Trump’s decline is plainly on view. I don’t want to think Americans are stupid, but WTF? People leave his rallies early. Trump is boring, his lies are not nuanced, Trump tells whoppers. Hannibal Lecter, sharks, post birth abortions??
His physical appearance is appalling. One would think Trump would have access to hair&makeup ppl, but his bronzer is applied haphazardly. He’s obese. Trump’s always unattractive way of holding his mouth while speaking is more pronounced.
I fully agree the press is letting us down, but who are these ppl who look at Trump&think he’s qualified to be president? Common sense?
Is saying the N word that important? Are women’s lives really worth so little?
What in the world has changed "the paper of record," The New York Times, into a complacent political paper? In this strange and disturbing year, "both sides-ism" lays bare the corporate interests of the Times. With Trump, there is really only one side: the truth - what we can see and hear openly of his words and actions. They are not the ravings of a sane man. Yet the Times blurs reality and inserts a fuzzy and dubious "alternate truth." This is not a "both sides now" moment, or shouldn't be. The Times stories (especially about Trump) often become slanted or blind propaganda pieces, instead of the trusted News sources they used to be. The stakes are the highest in my 88 years. The truth about Trump is not pleasant. But it all needs to come out without whitewashing by the NYT.
The corporate media hid Reagan's dementia for years, why would we expect any less today? Whooppee! The NYT finally printed a front page article about his mental decline. They also printed an article in the Sunday Magazine about his plans to weaponize the DoJ. I'm sure they now think their job is done and they can go back to the usual sanewashing, bothsidesing, and whining about Harris not giving them an interview.
The GOP has been captured by fraudsters & power by any means authoritarians. The projection propaganda never stops. MSM needs a horserace for eyeballs & $.
Trump & Vance can’t handle the truth threatening fact checkers, whistleblowers & truth tellers with retribution. https://wapo.st/3XXgHPt
Trump & MAGA whine about booming Bidenomics: 98% of jobs created since 1989 were created during Democratic administrations. Republicans have lost jobs while ballooning the deficit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbPBuk5QoV8
And NOW the ⚠️ WARNING ?! So close to the election ?! This is appalling! Where was this information months ago? If trump steals this election,we loose our democracy. The Media has had the power to report on the Facts and the Truth about donOLD and Failed. I will always be thankful that you,Dean, and all of the dedicated journalist who have been working so hard for our Democracy,our Country and the American people. Keep up the good Fight, I appreciate You 🇺🇸
MAGA's Chosen One is just a placeholder for next gen fascists like Vance & DeSantis: Trump's much smoother, depraved serial liar & running mate as well as other MAGA wannabes are even more dangerous longterm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2TZx5WbOj4
Not off topic but different media entity: I was surprised yesterday, just passing through with the television on CNN in my family's home and they were covering his lies about the hurricanes and FEMA/Biden/Harris etc...so I watched what and how they were presenting his more than tall tales sabotage to the rescue efforts that have been in motion since the weather began stirring. It was overdue, but it took these natural disasters and the death toll of over 200 Americans and his desperation driven lies about the situation to step up and shine a light on the irresponsibility of his MAGA/Putin plant punk destruction. We'll see what happens next from our Ministry of Info..
Concerning this from the NYT article, in reference to Trump's growing dementia: "In fact, it happens so often these days that it no longer even generates much attention." How's that for the Grey Lady's excuse for not reporting it sooner? "Well, it happens all the time, so why bother reporting it?" But since they did, reluctantly it appears, they buried the lede as deeply as they could. And also, fairness does not demand balancing an evident truth with an evident lie from a campaign staffer.
You keep rolling that boulder up the hill and it keeps rolling back down. Living in the world of the absurd is most often disconcerting. Nevertheless, continue as there is meaning in the experience.
I've wondered what's happened at both the NYT and WaPo. The Post spent months publishing hit pieces on President Biden while rarely saying a bad word about Trump. Sanewashing at its finest.
When Biden put country over both party & personal preference and stepped back, the Post responded almost the way Trump did...they didn't know what to do. Eventually they started up against V.P. Harris, and they're still, for the most part, pretending that this is a "normal" election between two people who disagree on policies, not a fight for and against democracy.
I don't know who or what ($$, of course, but in what form?) is influencing the NYT, but it does seem as if the rich white guy who owns the Post wants a rich white guy who think only rich white guys matter as the person in charge of the country.
The Times is also ignoring the obvious: MAGA is a big money scam.
Trump World-MAGA is all about the money they can steal. Nothing else.
All the lies, all the campaign promises, Project 2025 is all irrelevant. Distractions and diversions from the true goal. Which is to grab money for the Trump family and friends and co-conspiritors. Period.
I canceled my home delivery of the NYTIMES a few months ago. It was the National Review opinion piece that was the last straw. The “journalists” are nobodies with pro DRump spins. I have had the daily newspaper delivered for decades and support the free press but canceled it in protest. It’s of no value to me, except for wordle! It’s that a crime?

I was thinking as I read Dean's piece that Trump is simply picking up where Reagan left off, spinning down the cognitive drain to oblivion.

In this time of testing some of the most conservative Republicans have stood up for the constitution, the rule of law, oath & honor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8CK40YTbKk&t=440s
Agreed. And this is how it will happen:
Step 1: Get Trump elected
Step 2: Invoke the 25th Amendment
Step 3: JD Vance becomes President
I agree, this needs to be covered more extensively. The powers behind Project 2025 would love a President Vance.
Could be....not sure the Bloated Yam would put up with that.
More likely he has that fatal heart attack from eating too many Big Macs or while trying to rape an intern.
They are UnAmerican.

CNI has crossed the Rubicon from saying the media is failing us to it's working against democracy.

Soon, the Times will report to us on the outcome of the Spanish-American War....
Yes 🙌 Tooooo much sane washing going on !! Sh*t!!! Come on !!! Let’s get the message out there for Chr**t’s sake!!! 😮

I did the same.
