JOURNALISM 101: "If someone says it's raining & another person says it's dry, it's not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the fucking window and find out which is true." Source: Journalism Tutor via Sally Claire WE ARE THE MEDIA

The reporter having the fucking audacity to even question this is infuriating.
Next, Politico will run to the WH and say, “Gavin said…”
MSM is a huge reason we’re in this mess. 🤬

Gavin Newsom sounding the alarm on Trump stealing elections and him receiving “Trump 2028” hats.😡

I’m listening to what’s going on in the USA.

We need to pay attention people.

American is being completely taken over by fascism.

There will be no opposition party.

It’s happening.

Fox News lied?? I'm shocked!!!

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

One significant - & dangerous - thing to watch for is professional commentators objecting to words rather than examining the evidence. It's pearl-clutching & cowardly, obviously, but also a deliberate attempt to avoid confronting exactly what they themselves are facilitating and often cheering on.

This is magnificent.

Visiting UK for the fall, where they’re having their own f-word debate. But that’s just the problem: it’s more than a word. Media’s semantic dodge of a concept, fascist, that may be (is) a fact, the acknowledgment of which wld require a paradigm shift in coverage.

A cameraman at the #ToryConference just did an excellently-timed zoom onto Chris Philp. #kemi #badenoch

Badenoch: "While Britain was redefining what a woman is, China built five nuclear reactors."

A perfect summary of conservative idiocy. Glorifying authoritarian post-communism for its efficiency while vilifying democracy for seeking nuance and respect.

It is the Right who hate their own countries.

Sanctimonious Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the biggest “joke” in the United States Senate, is at it again! “Dick” lied until the midpoint of his political career, convincing everyone, in particular the Fake News Media, that he was a great “War Hero” who lived on the precipice of death in the jungles of Vietnam. He would talk about his life in the military in almost every speech, in particular the death defying dangers he faced in his many years “fight for freedom” while in Vietnam. He stated that “the battles were violent and long, but there was no going back” - And then it happened, Blumenthal was found out to be a FRAUD. The soldiers in his so-called “platoon” came forward and said that they had no idea who this guy was. He was revealed, broke down and admitted, tears flowing from his eyes, that he LIED, a Whopper, one that lasted 20 year. This guy shouldn’t even be in the U.S. Senate. It should be investigated, and Justice should be sought. Right now there is a Congressman sitting in prison for lying about his past during a campaign. Well, those lies were nothing compared to those of Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal, perhaps the greatest phony in the history of the United States Senate. He should be allowed to speak no longer!

Trump posts that Sen. Blumenthal “should be allowed to speak no longer”

I promise I'll get over this someday, but I can't help but think of all the people who told me the election didn't matter because they were both the same whenever I see a headline like this.

I take it back. I'll never be over it.

Yes, yes I know I keep banging on about my fucking book! However, if you want one repost this and I’ll do a random winner pick thing by the end of the week because I’m great like that. ♥️📚

Trump has never sounded guiltier than this and that's a high bar

Jenrick is a dangerous fool

Everyone in the UK should be made to spend the day with an Asylum Seeker. Find out why they're here.

I've already done this. 'They' are not monsters. They're not here to rape your wife and kids.

It's something that only deeply racist morons can hold onto.

We need to enlighten the unenlightened.

Hey guys, I've found "Britian"

Starmer and Labour need to stampede in the opposite direction to Reform and the Tories, otherwise it will get very crowded on the right and further right.

We Found the ‘Enemy from Within’ He’s in the White House

In Chicago, children were paraded outside in the thick of the night, zip-tied and alone, while ICE rampaged through their homes — all at Trump’s request. He talks about an “enemy from within” but the biggest enemy is him and his lackeys.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Do CBS News executives understand that MAGA will not be in power forever? I genuinely think this is lost on a lot of people. They've gotten scammed by bad actors into believing Trump's 2024 win represented something seismic and even permanent. I predict they'll look back on this as a serious error.

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him.

(…because he literally incited an insurrection)

"We want people to be living in mixed communities, don't we?"

Robert Jenrick's home is in Eye, Herefordshire, where 165 out of 166 residents were white at the time of the last census.

So to summarise, this is a white politician blaming a black journalist for the racism he is now actively helping to promote, after receiving the full endorsement of his own party leader

Incredible, fucking incredible.

Looks like they're all using the Tory conference as a "come and get me" plea to Nigel Far-Reich

A black child of a single mother in Tottenham, going on to study at Harvard, is well beyond anything Jenrick could dream of accomplishing.

Coverage of Jenrick today basically amounts to sane-washing. He didn't criticise judges. He claimed there was a conspiracy by certain judges, who he had discovered and could number, to undermine British law and create open borders.

I don't think Robert Jenrick realises that the people clapping along to him when he talks about Handsworth would clap along if he said the same about Stamford Hill. I'd hope that would give him pause for thought.

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA
