We’re in an epidemic of right-wing terror. Won’t someone tell the press?

More than a decade of media malpractice enabled January 6. Has the media learned its lesson?

A political party that celebrates shooters like Kyle Rittenhouse and whose leaders frequently post self-portraits with semi-automatic weapons suddenly has thoughts against political violence.

Republicans created this climate and promoted the gun that was used. They don't get to blame others, especially when the alleged shooter was a member of their party.

Trump says he's fine. Good. Now, let's talk about political violence in America.

FACT: Since 2015 there's been no greater promoter of political violence in America than Donald Trump. Here are the receipts that legacy media needs to publicize widely: https://qasimrashid.substack.com/p/yes-political-violence-is-unacceptable

Of all the places I’d never expect journalism to suddenly erupt, People Magazine would lead the list. This is just extraordinary. Maybe the @nytimes will rival it someday. Dream on.

Yes political violence is unacceptable. But do MAGAs believe that?

A 2020 study by ABC documented that as President, Donald Trump inspired at least 54 acts of political violence even before the January 6 insurrection, while the previously four Presidents combined inspired 0 such acts of political violence, and another study found that Trump’s vile and violent tweets resulted in massive spikes in hate crimes."

Democratic politicians across the board are handling themselves with grace and dignity. They are sending well wishes to Donald Trump and unequivocally condemning violence.

Many MAGA politicians, however, appear to be trying to make things much, much worse. Their rhetoric is reckless and irresponsible, and must be condemned.

6. He said “we” have nuclear subs in Cuba when discussing Russia, such that “we” meant Russia or he gave away U.S. nuclear secrets or he was making it up. Who knows?
7. He challenged Joe Biden to golf for ratings.
8. He said “Yes oh yes and quickly says President Trump,” when reading the teleprompter.
9. He said 109% of all net job creation over the last year has gone to migrants.

I’ll take the older, sane guy with a stutter, thanks.

Maybe big media can spare a few minutes for it, though 2/2

Lawrence: Biden speaks to NATO and AFL-CIO after Trump read a teleprompter full of lies

After two weeks of public discussions about the viability of the Biden-Harris campaign, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell analyzes Joe Biden’s campaign speech in which he delivered remarks to union leaders and celebrated the economic success of his administration – versus Donald Trump’s campaign speech where he lied about everything, including President Biden’s economic policy.
