What really fucking gets me is in 2026 journalists have learned NOTHING since 2016 about how to report objective facts, and not just parrot trump talking points without an ounce of easily supported skepticism.

For example, right now, everyone’s framing of these GOP primaries are all ‘trump has iron grip over GOP’ because of the wins of trump backed candidates.

But when one candidate spends an unlimited hojillion more dollars than the other, that’s gonna sway a lot of folk simply through media saturation.

But they all frame it like he’s some big strategist kingmaker.

@octothorpe we should really reframe reporters as actors who will do or say whatever they think will get them the most attention. Events of the day are merely source material for their self-promotion.

@ytetic I mean, you’re probably right, but also, it’s not the way it was (ahem)… and I’d like to go back to that, tbh.
