I reported Trump Tv to YouTube. Probably won’t do anything but felt right.

Does this count as a "leopards eat my face" moment or no?

I just subscribed to the Georgia one. We need all the help we can get here.

The point of having a vote is meant for YOU to choose who you want in office. Saying one person only one person one vote because someone recommended them is not you making a choice but by the politicians choosing you. Be careful America. The independent media that’s currently in this hemisphere there are doing a lot of journalism the right way and those who just want access to the WH the press room aren’t doing it at all.

Main stream media is reaping what it sowed by: over-coverage and not fact checking Donnie in 2016 election cycle; not calling even using the word lie early from the beginning; not naming his narcissism, psychopathy and sociopathic behavior; capitulation including major payouts post 2024 inauguration. And now, he is dissing them. Too bad, so sad, boo-hoo for corporate media. I shed not a tear for any of them. My dream solution: Every state has a local LET’S ADDRESS THIS. Create it and subscribers will follow. I want and need local and state news. Don’t forget blue sates because local news is usually red (as in red scare) news that goes under the radar.

Thanks for starting ‘Let’s Address This’.

The Fapweasel (Trump) cannot take criticism. His fragile ego cannot take it. He wants his own media stream for that reason, and so that his viewpoint is the only one. He doesn’t want anyone to know how wrong he is. Now that FAUX News is no longer his sycophant, he had to create a new one, perhaps miss using AI to get it.

What a GREAT article, Qasim. This is all so appallingly true. And MSM's tactics are so sneaky. I now listen to MSM (mainly NPR) only to hone my skills on the clever use of language. One huge example, the way Iran is portrayed on MSM is either completely dishonest or outrageously stupid and ill-informed. Iran has done, in DEFENDING THEMSELVES, enormous damage to US bases. According to our media, "there are no reports of damage or injuries". Iran's intelligent, organized leadership is highly, dangerously misrepresented and misunderstood by our media and government. This rose-colored glasses approach to the World by our media and leadership is walking us right over a cliff. I have several outstanding independent journalists that I get my news from, including you Qasim, but God save this country when many are consuming "the World as WE see it". You cannot survive in the real World when you are living in a fantasy.

Celeste, I believe you are talking about MSN. MSM is a health supplement, for joint health. If you have auto correct, that is probably why it wasn’t flagged.

No, she’s abbreviating Mainstream Media.

I took it to mean Main Stream Media.

Something I was inspired to do after reading Jess Craven yesterday: send thank you notes to the outlets who are standing by CNN!

Yes, now that I think about it, this may be what Celeste meant. The network news people seem to walk on eggshells when it comes to The Fapweasel (Trump). Social media, on the other hand, is more direct. The Fapweasel (Trump) cannot watch everything. There are ways of saying things without going to “Facebook jail.”

Thank you, Celeste. And well said.

Hopefully, the news media will rediscover its actual values as a result of all of this - as has been noted, Trump is a symptom of a failing system, not the cause of its failing.
