@threetails yeah, this is an overpriced worse version of the #MalloyHoverbike!

I just doubt that #Volocopter or #Malloy even got #EASA prototype approvals.

I was reading #Parker #Malloy’s latest piece in The New Republic
Her argument is familiar to those of us who have been critical of the Washington press corps’ coverage of Donald Trump,
especially its practice of ➡️ making his habitual incoherence seem coherent.
Most important is Parker’s introduction to a wider audience of #Aaron #Rupar’s term to describe that practice.
It’s “#sane-#washing.”
Here’s Parker:
⭐️This “#sanewashing” of Trump’s statements isn’t just poor journalism;
it’s a form of #misinformation that 💥poses a threat to democracy.

By continually reframing Trump’s incoherent and often dangerous rhetoric as conventional political discourse, ❌major news outlets are failing in their duty to inform the public and are instead providing cover for increasingly erratic behavior from a former — and potentially future — president.

⭐️The consequences of this journalistic malpractice extend far beyond misleading headlines.

By laundering Trump’s words in this fashion, 💥the media is actively participating in the erosion of our shared reality.
🆘When major news outlets consistently present a polished version of Trump’s statements, they create an alternate narrative that exists alongside the unfiltered truth available on social media and in unedited footage

I bet he'll make that #Hoverbike ready sooner than #Malloy...
