02/01/2025 - Pentagon swaps out NYTimes, Washington Post, NPR, and NBC News from their Pentagon news offices to make room for NY Post, One America, Breitbart and HuffPost
I guess all that pandering the NYT did didn't pay off for them, fuckers.
It’s like nobody ever learnt anything.
Good, they deserve it for utterly failing the public this past election cycle and kissing the ring so they could keep their access. Maybe they’ll do some actual reporting now instead of regurgitating talking points.
Find and support independent journalists.
With the caveat of "actual journalism". Too many "journalists" just rehashing social media posts, not nearly enough in-depth investigative journalism.
I'd also like to see less editorialization of news-worthy topics, and more "Here are the facts, in their entirety".
But yes, fuck the corporatized mass media in general. Obviously there are some exceptions, but those holding the purse strings can all collectively fuck off.
Bro, they're piping the Post and Breitbart directly into soldier ears and you say "Good?"
I said good that the kowtowing news orgs that sanewashed Trump all of 2024 lost their privileged access. They helped prop up that fascist flesh balloon as a viable candidate. Either in the hopes he wouldn’t retaliate against them or to make money. Lo and behold he retaliated anyway. It’s almost like the guy known for stiffing contractors shouldn’t be trusted.
Obviously it’s not good that they’ve been replaced with propaganda networks but when the big media is too afraid to counter him or is owned by his supporters is there much of a difference?
As I said in my original post: support independent journalists or even Wired.com at this point. They seem to be the only ones willing to cover shit anymore. I have a few recommendations if you want them.
They're piping direct fascist propaganda into soldier's unquestioning ears for when the time comes to turn them onto the American public. That's not "Good."
I understand the frustration at NYT, Washington Post, even NPR. I'm a disabled queer leftist, they have had hit pieces at my kind for decades. I don't understand calling this a good thing, because they had a broken clock moments in 2024?
What? When did HuffPost go fascist?
It’s so it’s not completely obvious that they’re stacking them as a propaganda setup. Notice HuffPost is the only left leaning setup here and they’re rag anyways.
