Jamison FoserNew from me on what Donald Trump really means by "unity" -- and on the news media complying in advance.

The New York Times still has not run a single news article about Donald Trump's convention speech that mentions his praise for Victor Orban & Kim Jung Un.

OtownKim@foser The fix is in!
JustKathyThe New York Times hasn't called for him to drop out of the race, either. As far as I'm concerned, right now the NYT is no better than Fox News. The Times has lost all credibility, not to mention its once proud reputation.
Kyle Memoir 🍉🐧In the mid- to late-1930’s it was really only Germany that was this messed up.
And there were some understandable historical reasons for that, along with the rest.
Now it seems everywhere and inexplicable.
Naked greed?
It can’t be ideology—there is none.
Lauren Weinstein@foser It's not news. He met with Orban very recently in Florida (widely reported). He's always talking about his love for Kim. So it's not news.

Zhi Zhu 🕸️"America’s most important #news companies have abdicated their essential role in democracy. Even if Donald #Trump had delivered his speech exactly as prepared, never deviating a bit, #media coverage of his speech that touted his calls for #unity would still be terrible #journalism. That’s because Trump’s calls for unity are not sincere, and simply running a politician’s insincere claims as banner headlines is not journalism, it’s #advertising"

"Trump is the most intentionally divisive politician in modern #American #history; that he regularly incites #violence and peddles #racism and #sexism.
Simply echoing #Trump campaign talking points about a kinder, gentler Trump seeking #unity does not help readers or viewers understand what’s going on — it helps Trump deceive them."
