if they had balls every dem politicians who could run for next election should say that they will pardon anyone who gets arrested or in trouble for disobeying illegal orders.
Set aside Dems for a moment. When will the media give any of these scandals any deserving attention? Bush, Obama, Biden got raked by the media for weeks for the slightest misspeak
Yeah they do that because the people who own the media know two things:
The Dems will get criticised by both people left of them and people right of them, so raking them over the coals generates a lot of outrage which equals to clicks and views.
They can use this public perception pressure to ensure they keep passing policies that are, if not aligned with, don’t affect the super rich owners and donators. Because the media owners can always dial up the jingoism and get the republicans elected again at the subsequent end of second term election.
Well, you see, we’re chasing the clicks and stale news doesn’t get the clicks. And Trump constantly makes fresh news to chase those clicks with. Gotta get those clicks! WE NEED THOSE CLICKS!
They obviously won’t… All the American media outlets are being consolidated under right wing ownership. To the extent we ever had fair reporting, that’s over.
They are all complicit, however I cannot comment on that, because I have not watched tv or followed main stream media in a decade. I have ground news, which is great (I do have some complaints about it, it isn’t perfect but no point venting here). So I personally cannot complain about them too much.
