1. Trump will be arraigned on criminal charges at a federal courthouse in Miami today
The indictment is devastating and detailed
But all day you'll hear from pundits and politicians making outrageous claims on Trump's behalf
This thread is YOUR GUIDE TO ALL THE NONSENSE
🧵
On covering Trump complaints: You can’t ignore cancer and expect a good outcome. It will spread. That’s what we saw with Trumpism. All over the world despots are copying this guy’s tactics to defeat democratic governing—-because it WORKS. Trump has been extraordinarily successful at harnessing contemporary political and social conditions to his advantage. Although they can’t ignore him, media can be judicious in covering him. And that’s NOT what CNN is doing.
Tucker Carlson, Fox News Channel most-watched primetime host, will leave the network in an abrupt and surprise exit. “Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways,” the company said in a statement Monday. “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.”
Fox News viewers still don’t know the truth about Trump’s big election lie, nor about the network’s role in promoting that lie.
If Dominion wins its case against Fox News, perhaps the court should order the network to finally tell viewers the truth? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-perfect-punishment-for-fox-news
It's time to watch #CNN live again...
