Give me a break. Professional journalism groups have been continuing to do their job reporting on what’s going on, and making it very clear that democracy is at risk in the US. It’s not the journalists that are the problem here. It’s the propaganda from conservative authoritarians and the voters who are foolishly buying into the propaganda. If anything, journalists need our support right now. They’re doing a very thankless job currently. The only reason any of really know anything about what’s going is because of journalists dedicated to public service.

Bingo. All the flips are this, including The Atlantic today. *Yes this is fascism, but ignore all the people who were right about fascism.*. It’s just an extension of *Yes the Iraq War was a mistake, but ignore all the people who were right about the war*.

If they admit there were people who called it out long ago it removes their deniability for being complicit.

Reddit is being brigaded with “whatever the right wing does is the democrats fault” wrapped in faux-reasonability of “it’s horrible but…”
The non-trolls and non-bots are buying into and repeating it nonstop. It’s fucking disgusting

Yes they can excuse fascism. Their goal is to make money, not tell the news accurately.

“You may have been right that it was fascism, but I realized this on my own. Didn’t need leftists for that.” Classic narcissist behavior.

I despise our major media companies here now and avoid watching them. Even on social media

The fucking “nobody could have seen this coming” comments I’ve seen in the past few days to defend the sad little trump voters who feel duped (these don’t exist btw).
