The former president spent the weekend spewing dangerous nonsense at a rally. The press spent its weekend polishing it into palatability.

    Any news organization that sane-washes this nonsense is not centrist.

      They are corporations that make money from news entertainment AND he’s all about giving them MORE power and MORE money.

      He’s their golden goose and their wet dream all rolled into one.

      Follow the money.

      Any news organization that sane-washes this is not a “news” organization. They are a fascist’s plaything.

      Do better, media.

      corporations have incentives to be right wing. why would they be centrist?

      also news organizations should be fair and accurate, not centrist.

        From observing MBFC I can conclude it is far right.

      They never really were. The Bircher types have always whined that the corporate media is “the liberal media”. This was and is complete nonsense, of course. Of course, to compensate for this constant whining, they have internalized this silliness and constantly steer into goofy practices like being “objective” and giving equal times to “both sides” - this only enables the pathological lying that is the norm for the right.
