@georgetakei A lesson for future members of the mainstream media from recent performances by the Trump/Vance/Leavitt freakshow: you vaccinate yourself against a case of retro-shame by refusing to SANEWASH BULLSHIT AS SOON AS YOU HEAR IT AND CONFRONT IT WITH ‘PROVE IT.’ The shameful dereliction of the MSM in 2024 showed that placidly accepting statements and responses you know to be untrue and a threat to America’s founding principles forever stains journalists as merely complicit stenographers.
