    What’s really terrible is that the media was not even liberal to begin with. The RWAs have been pissing their pants about how the “MSM” is so very liberal for decades when they are anything but.

      100% right here. Propaganda has taken MAGA so easily. Humans in the future will wonder why they were so easily hooked.

      the media was not even liberal to begin with

      Liberals have been eager for regime change in Iran for as long as their conservative peers.

      Bombing Tehran is one of the few things Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump can agree on.

        I’m using the typical definition of the term liberal, not the online leftist version, though. I know what you are going for, but probably about 5% of the population even grasps the way the online leftists talk about liberals (“shitlibs”) and so on.

        We are talking about a population that hears the beginning part of “Libertarian” and assumes that means the equivalent to liberal. Same thing when it comes to neoliberal policies. I bet the number of Americans that understand what neoliberal entails is vanishingly small.

        Hillary does not seem all that liberal to me in any case, despite what the far right claims about people like her and her husband and Biden and Obama and Kamala…

    Donald Trump over the weekend posted a graphic that alarmed numerous political observers.

    Trump took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to post the graphic, which is called, “President Trump is reshaping the media.” The image celebrates that NPR, Stephen Colbert, Jim Acosta, and others in the media are “gone,” while noting that CNN and the FCC have both been “reformed” by the president.
