      It’s like the token liberal coming on as a guest on Fox News. They’re there to be a strawman to attack and mock. Anything they say can just be twisted into, “HuffingtonPost is an obviously biased liberal hack. But see? We’re being fair!”

      Imagine writing about this dude fucking over all of the people that helped him gain power at minimum once a week for 8 years, and then thinking that it’s still a good idea to do the same.

      Yet another example of leopards that aren’t gonna eat my face.

      Yep, we all knew they’d be the first victims of the Trump dictatorship. Hope selling out the country for a few months of “Biden old” headlines was worth it, rat bastards.

        They’re all owned by oligarchs. Trumps tax cuts alone will probably net those oligarchs 10x more profit than the orgs they own.

      Which is amusing because The New York Times spent months working to get Trump reelected. And almost certainly had a much greater impact on his election victory than either Breitbart or OAN. They tanked their credibility for some cheap headlines and still got the boot. lol

      when are people going to stop believing lawsuits and laws are going to stop fascists from doing whatever the fuck they want to do?

      Well, that’s a 1st amendment issue, that’s an incoming lawsuit they’re going to lose

      No, it’s not.

      Hegseth isn’t restricting those outlets from appearing at Pentagon briefings; rather they’re not being allowed to maintain an office on-site. While elevating right-wing liars such as Breitbart and OAN is obviously terrible, the other outlets will still be attending whatever propaganda rallies Hegseth holds.

      Lawsuit, sure. But Lose? Have you been paying attention?

      If the lawsuit isn’t thrown out by some rat-fuck judge, the result will have absolutely no impact on the current machinations of the diet-Nazis.

      It’s going to take more than a stern talking to if you want to root out fascists.

    I don’t feel sorry for them at all. All mainstream media can suck a bag of dicks and die at this point.

        I absolutely hate the man. My rule is to instantly turn off video or skip any article with him in it. At this point he is pretty much mainstream as well so he can take that bag all the way to hell.

        NPR is okay, way better than most major media sources. I would not consider them mainstream.

      Yea use that broad brush to paint yourself into a corner!

      No one needs to advertise the nytimes or top media… you could do better to push a hot take opinion or top media…

      The issue is important.

        All mainstream news betrayed us. Please point out a major media outlet that is not a propaganda outlet for the wealthy.
