The Press Are Showing Their True Colors

Who else is willing to take orders to both-sides fascism?

I used to retweet Brianna Keilar because she was willing to speak truth to power, but apparently she is willing to go along with the program. This is very sad.

Whatever you think of this speech the military is supposed to be apolitical. Positioning Marines in uniform behind President Biden for a political speech flies in the face of that. It’s wrong when Democrats do it. It’s wrong when Republicans do it.

There are new bosses at CNN, including “libertarian billionaire” John Malone who has explicitly called for more fascist commentators because he makes more money from being Fox-lite.

Anarcho-capitalism: The Cancer That Just Ate CNN

Watching the coverage on CNN over the last few months has been embarrassing and horrifying. They just keep adding more and more “Republican commentators” and pushing more right wing narratives.

At the same time they are canceling the shows that dare speak the truth.

CNN: Fuck You America

So apparently Brianna Keilar is fine with this and chose to focus on the setting of Biden’s speech warning of an existential threat to our nation and called it “divisive.”

That’s what quislings do, Bri.

In the meantime, in the real world, while I’m happy with Biden’s speech last night, he needs to do more. We all need to do more.

Joe: We Need More than Speeches

Networks come and go, just like CNN apparently has. And reporters show their stripes. Let’s see which other anchors and reporters at CNN are willing to slide into fascism per their bosses orders.
