Will Bunch (@willbunch, but he's unfortunately not active here) is probably the best currently working Big Journalism commentator on where we are headed as a nation.

In this must-read piece, he expresses the contempt for his contemporaries -- who are utterly refusing to do their jobs in the face of incipient American fascism -- that they so richly deserve.

Journalism fails miserably at explaining what is really happening to America

Momentous week of GOP debate, Trump's arrest gets "horse race" coverage when the story's not about an election, but authoritarianism.

@dangillmor @willbunch Sadly, we have a similar experience in Canada, where the majority of Cdn media is owned or controlled by CONservatives. Most openly shill for the CONs, blame Liberals and progressives for any problems, and deliberately ignore the growing extremism and pro-fascist movement within the party.

@CdnCurmudgeon @dangillmor @willbunch Absolutely correct. The cons here are heavily influenced and supported by the GOP and don't even get me started on PP. Post media owns almost every news outlet in Canada. The poison is spreading north and I'm disgusted.

@Vegematic @CdnCurmudgeon @dangillmor @willbunch Apparently P thinks he’s going to be the next PM. He is promising economic stability. 😂 False promises. Political leaders can’t make the economy more stable.

PoiLIEvre lies, gaslights, accuses, insults, and spreads disinformation. But he never comes up with detailled policies, platforms or solutions. He uses the Trump playbook: always on the attack, never offer information or facts.

They both do Putin's work to destabilize our democracies.
