Hillary Clinton says the corporate media is not doing their job and not informing the public on how dangerous and destructive Trump really is.
Hillary is right.
Reporters are our eyes and ears. They go where the action is, to report back to us what they see and hear. Without them, we are deaf, dumb, and blind.
Democracy only works if voters know what’s going on, and they can make an informed decision.
"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people."
"Our republic and its press will rise or fall together. An able, disinterested, public-spirited press, with trained intelligence to know the right and courage to do it, can preserve that public virtue without which popular government is a sham and a mockery. A cynical, mercenary, demagogic press will produce in time a people as base as itself. The power to mold the future of the Republic will be in the hands of the journalism of future generations.”
"The media’s the most powerful entity on Earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses."
"Whenever the people are well informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights."
When the news fail to tell us how dangerous Trump really is, they are to blame if Trump wins the election. It’s the media’s job to report the truth to us, inform us, and warn us about danger.
Their job is not to report “Person A says the world is round, and person B says the world is flat.”
Their job is to report “The expert correctly states the world is round, and the uneducated fool falsely claims the world is flat.”
It’s not the audience’s job to figure out what is true and what is false.
It’s the job of the news media to tell us what the truth is, so that we can make informed decisions.
Their job is not to hide the truth behind false equivalence.
Protesters demand that the New York Times do its fucking job and report on what a danger to America Trump actually is, instead of normalizing him.
Fascists use lies as a weapon. They create an upside-down world where the fascists are the good guys, and their victims are the bad guys.
They create this upside-down world with a false narrative. They repeat fascist lies again and again and again, to brainwash people and make them believe fascist lies are the truth.
It is not the media’s job to repeat fascist propaganda lies and act as if these lies are just as valid as the truth.
It’s the media’s duty to expose the lies and repeat the truth again and again and again to counter the fascists’ false narrative.
The corporate media are utterly failing in their duty to inform Americans about the true nature of Trump.
This is not a normal “horse race” election. Trump is not a normal candidate. Both sides are not the same.
Our votes in this election will decide if America remains a democracy, or if we allow a wannabe fascist dictator to turn America into a shithole like Russia or North Korea.
If American democracy dies, you can thank the press for that. If American democracy dies, it will be because the corporate media failed to protect America from the enemy within.
Here are the 3 most important things about Trump that you need to know to make an informed decision in the 2024 election.
All the information is publicly available, but most Americans have never heard any of it, because the corporate media and social media are owned by billionaires.
Those billionaires are not your friends. They couldn’t care less about you. All they want is even more billionaire tax cuts from Trump. That’s why they want to see him win.
Corrupt billionaires don’t give a shit that Trump will destroy American democracy and wipe his ass with the Constitution. All they care about is their own profits.
They’re perfectly fine with abandoning democracy and turning America into a corrupt Russian-style oligarchy.
