Fox News lied about the 2020 election. Trump’s hand-picked FCC Chair just let Murdoch off scot-free while weaponizing the Commission against ABC, CBS, NBC. Help us fund our appeal. We have 30days. Donate now & join the fight. #FoxLies #CharacterMatters

The sanewashing that enabled Trump….
This is not how journalists+editors at @nytimes should be writing about a fascist demagogue who is explicitly @ war w/American democracy. Ever.

Legacy media leaders and the journalists they anoint are failing American democracy.
This is grotesque - but illuminating by @anniekarni
“what a fun project” .. chronicling the fascist destruction of American democracy.
1/n
Neutrality in the face of fascism is an epic failure of the modern Fourth Estate.
This same journalist whitewashed and normalized @RepNancyMace
when it mattered.
Any retrospection @anniekarni ? Do you have the courage to write a piece critical of what Mace represents in reality? Is Mace mainstream? Was she ever?
NB: She endorses Gaetz for US AG.
2/n
This wasn’t true when Mace’s PR team pitched it to the Times. It wasn’t true when the Times accepted the pitch and had @anniekarni write a puff piece. The harm done by corporate, profit-seeking political press is seen in the normalization of rule-of-law denying extremists.
Your feedback @Deggans ?
Please look at what we see as basicc18 pro-democracy coverage guidelines and share your feedback.
Norm Ornstein, Jeff Jarvis , Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Nancy Maclean and 5k endorsed these (list on website). We sent these to all leading newsrooms.

Why did you wait?
New @TheRunUpNYT: A while back, I interviewed Tom Homan, Trump’s guy on immigration. We talked about mass deportations, family separation, and accusations of white nationalism — but never aired it. Running it today after Homan was named to Trump’s cabinet

Hi @anniekarni have you checked in with @RepNancyMace ?
How’s her reforming the GOP going?
Good time for a follow up piece.
Americans don’t realize the ongoing crisis and looming catastrophes BECAUSE legacy media fails to communicate the accelerating fascist assault on America. #TrumpAppointments
#Democracywashing - normalization of the fascist subversion of democracy and society by deceptively presenting it as “politics”

MAD: Did the actions of billionaires interfering in newsrooms - even with American democracy on the ballot - surprise you?
Beecher: Yes, in the sense that those actions are extremely negative for their public image and reputation as media owners. No, in the sense that intimidation and fear is so rife in Trump's America.

To better survive and respond to this perilous moment in America we need to better understand the long and sordid history of how media barons have manipulated minds, influenced politics, and subverted democracies.

Here's the recording of our session on "How media moguls abuse their power, manipulate the truth, and distort democracy" with Eric Beecher. Beecher is a journalist and publisher of @crikey_news. His book "The Men Who Killed the News" is a must-read youtu.be/ZgGBszP7jGM?si=20vf…
An election determining the fate of American democracy deserves a front page statement by @nytimes, certainly more important than a Skechers ad, right?
#ShouldBeFrontPage, but isn’t: The NYT Editorial Board opinion advocating for democracy.
Why is this not A1?
@JamesFallows @Sulliview @anneapplebaum @WajahatAli @MichaelEMann @MarkJacob16 @jeffjarvis @nhannahjones @johnastoehr
Do the leadership at @nytimes even permit investigative reporting on Trump/Kushner?
Thank goodness for @propublica

NEW: Trump Media recently outsourced jobs to Mexico 🇲🇽 -even as Trump publicly promised to “stop outsourcing” and “punish” companies that send jobs abroad.
The move caused outrage inside his company, seen as betrayal of his stated “America First” ideals.

Please remember the media elite who sanewash Trump also protect him. @Mike_Pence not endorsing his boss was NEVER a front page story at AG Sulzberger’s @nytimes
cc: @MarkJacob16 @Sulliview @JamesFallows @djrothkopf @NewsJennifer @susanbordson
The @nytimes @agsnyt are failing democracy &
running NYT as a Trump protection racket. Their CURATION of
#FrontPage shapes narrative.
#Pence refusing to endorse the GOP nominee for POTUS is essential info for Americans.
