(“No organization, particularly a newsroom, can succeed unless it is cohesive and aligned … It has become clear that this appointment undermines that goal.”)
Funny — the journalists who spoke up said McDaniel’s departure was required to
🔸preserve their journalistic mission and the network’s credibility,
🔸not out of any need for “alignment.”
We can only hope that NBC and other news organizations take away something more than “don’t hire a MAGA mouthpiece”
A few ideas:
• Create a #mission#statement that affirms your goals are telling the #truth and defending #democracy, which protects the First Amendment — not fake balance. • #Stop#pretending four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump and his movement are presenting #alternative “#policies” as a normal party would. They are fighting for an alternate system: authoritarianism. • Politicians’ outright #lies must be identified, not just labeled as their “response” or “position.” • Instead of obsessing over #polls, devote extensive coverage to #analyzing the Heritage Foundation’s “#Project2025” and Trump’s #fascist#agenda. Feature #historians and political #scientists during news segments (not only on panels) to put Trump’s views and statements in context. • #Don’t excerpt a few words from a Trump rally or speech, dub it an “argument” and #ignore his mental short-circuits and #deteriorating#intellect.
The nation’s first Black president was held to impossible standards. Its first orange one is held to none — @AdamParkhomenko#quotes#quote#Ethics#Honesty#Truth#Trump
We've just started reading "How to Stand Up to a Dictator" by Maria Ressa.
"What you do matters in this present moment of the past, when memory can be so easily altered. Please ask yourself the same question my team and I ask every day."
"What are you willing to sacrifice for the truth?"
Men never do evil so completely as when they do it in the name of religion
Jews attack truth again .
Now we are to believe that an evil
war criminal , blood sucking parasite taking lives,cannot be correctly criticized as a vampire because he is special, a Jew, above the laws of man and God

But it makes perfect sense to #MTG, fantasy 2nd to Lord #TrumpVirus (in HER head maybe)...
What does make sense is that she & other #GQP cultists worship the very ground this 'false idol' waddles over.
She's a believer in the chosen one, Sir Stable genius with all the best words. Perfect, really.
Believers in the #cult#truth , immersed in their #media#disinformation, are either disinterested in reality or too delusional to care. Some are unwilling to admit they've been scammed.
"Of course, one day the indentured period would end and the servant would be free. That is one of the fundamental differences drawn between white indentured servitude and black slavery. One was a temporary condition; the other was perpetual. Except that huge numbers of white servants didn’t live to see the day of freedom. In the early days, the majority of servants died still in bondage. Moreover, the bulk of those who did outlive their servitude ended up no better than when they’d arrived. They would emerge from bondage landless and poor (p. 111)."
― Don Jordan and Michael Walsh, "White Cargo: The Forgotten History of Britain's White Slaves in America" (2007)
Oh yeah. There's this...
And then some of us choose to believe "our lying eyes" after having been riveted to the screen watching the #Jan6#sedition by #TrumpVirus and #GQP
So why has #justice not moved forward (aside from slow start, Garland, #GymJordan obstruction, etc.)?
Because an entire middle-of-the-pyramid chunk of criminals (in green here) went from blatant #treason / #obstruction to denying subpoenas & then heading committees to investigate!
