There are a lot of Emperor Has No Clothes scenarios floated around these days, all referring to Trump. Methinks we're blind to the real naked emperors running amok aiding and abetting, if naively and definitely ignorantly, #legacymedia. Talking about you Jake Tapper, David Sanger, NYT, WAPO, and the list goes on. For shame, put some clothes on you legacy ignoramuses. You're not the Press, you're the sycophant chorus parroting whatever nonsense Trump farts, i.e., Iran will be a short "excursion".

"Donald Trump is batshit. He, along with several of his advisors, are under the delirious belief he is all powerful and can effect his will simply by issuing a tweet.

Until that becomes the story, Trump will dodge accountability for the most reckless decision in recent history."

"Because the political press continues to struggle to cover Donald Trump and his tenuous relationship with the truth, they are failing to hold him accountable for just how incompetent his execution of a war of choice has been. ...

Virtually all political journalists happily serve as data mules for his carefully packaged tweets."

The End of CNN: How the Ellison Takeover Confirms What We Already Knew — Legacy Media Is Done

The only remaining question is how quickly viewers pull the plug on the deathbed vigil.

Salty Politics with Julie Roginsky

Dan Froomkin on how legacy media journalists know full well the truth about Trump, but hide the truth with mendacious headlines and weasel words, and by providing no context for readers to understand important stories. The upshot:

"They normalize lunacy and lying and criminal conduct."

At the Times and the Post, solid reporting with a mealy-mouthed presentation

Our top journalists collect the goods on Trump, but use weasel words when they write

Press Watch

"The moment you put someone on screen, you aren’t just hearing them out. You’re granting them legitimacy. You’re telling viewers, even subtly, 'This person’s worldview belongs in the same room as facts.'”

"And it’s keeping professional bad-faith performers on payroll because executives think 'loud and wrong' is compelling television. …

Oxygen journalism depends on one huge lie: that platforming is neutral.

It isn’t."
