Traditional news post finger-pointing drivel while running away from mirrors (as though they were stoked in garlic).
I knew lots of this but not the Baltimore Sun. Dear lord.
I recommend re-reading Enders Game (I am) and focus not on aliens but global info (orchestrated) warfare.

Philadelphia DA sues Musk over voter lottery, calling “it an illegal lottery that skirts state requirements and violates consumer protection laws.”
It looks like the Musk lottery is illegal in every state where it is being offered because of state gambling laws.
Every major daily and leading local TV news station should be asking these attorneys general why they are not investigating the lottery.

“That’s journalism’s most important mission: to hold power accountable and give people the information they need to make important decisions. Casting a vote for president certainly qualifies as one of those decisions.”

In 2017, the Washington Post, under a more emboldened Bezos, unveiled its new slogan, “Democracy Dies in Darkness.” On Friday the Post hid what should have been a principled presidential endorsement in darkness.
“To watch the [#Trump] event is to see signs of someone having a breakdown.”

“Why is there not the kind of full court press on [Trump’s] medical records that there was on Hillary Clinton in 2016 or Biden last summer? Why aren’t they asking every Republican and every surrogate to explain why he’s acting so strangely?”

New York Magazine: Trump delivers historically illiterate lecture on tariffs
In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club, Donald Trump says the government had more revenue than ever when it relied on tariffs (wrong) and then raised tariffs in 1932 (wrong). This is his big issue, and he knows nothing about it.
“We live in a democratic recession.”
Prof. Rasmus Kleis Nielsen
European and American politicians “are supremely pragmatic in their dealings with many … political peers who aggressively seek to control the media and silence independent journalists…
“the social contract between journalism and much of the public is fraying.”
Insightful critique of #journalism in the west.

“People want reliable, truthful reporting. They want access to news outlets they can trust. They would like journalists to operate with a shared commitment to accuracy and independence. The problem journalists and publishers face is that much of the public does not believe that the news media offer this.”
It does not help the cause when news organizations are sanewashing Trump each and every day.
