The Dworkin Report - This is Why It's Impossible to Trust Corporate Media
Seriously.

Dec 29, 2024
This week, Trump tried to use Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal to distract us from his horrible cabinet picksplus the fact Elon is actually the one in charge.
In the process, Donald reminded us how clueless he is on foreign policy, offended our allies, and embarrassed America on the world stage. So of course corporate media is hard at work, attempting to clean up this whole mess for Trump.
CNN, NY Times, Reuters, BBC, AP and others ran headlines legitimizing his absurd lies. But the worst, by far, came from The Washington Post, who ran this story just yesterday: Trump team says Canada, Greenland, Panama comments are part of a broader plan.
This is a sad attempt to explain away Trumps unhinged behavior. Theyre painting a picture that Trump is playing 3D chess, when in reality hes playing Candy Land while eating the game pieces.
It was only two weeks ago when the owner of WaPoJeff Bezosmet with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. And now, the paper just so happens to be trying to justify Donalds bogus arguments, acting like the root of this nonsense is brilliant gamesmanship.

(313 posts)2. I realize this is a serious article,
but that line Trump is "playing Candyland while eating the game pieces"
just cracked me up. But seriously, they act like this is all just normal.

with an eye only upon profits.
Every time we tune in, click on, or pickup a paper; we financially support them.
