I Smoked The RNC
@BlackKnight10k

Im sure you're all noticing that there's been something wrong with MSNBC.

• the poor framing of stories
• weird right-wing hires
• Trump monologues w/no fact check
• softball Matt Gaetz interviews
• false equivalencies of Biden/Trump
• hyping pro Trump polls
• ignoring pro Biden votes
• ignoring Bidens' economic wins
• ignoring Biden's legislative wins
• blaming Democrats for GOP disfunction

There had long been a slide into failing it's audience but I think the real inflection point, and I can't believe im about to say bring back Chuck Todd, was the hire of Kristen Welker to host MTP with her first show being an hour long pre-recorded Trump rehabilitation propaganda piece. It's been downhill ever since.

I don't know what deal was cut behind the scenes or if some kind of executive decision was made, but whatever your perceptions of MSNCB, it's not a left leaning outlet.

And that's fine. It's a business. They get to make those decisions. But they don't get to make decisions like hiring Ronna McDaniel of all people with her track record of being a liar, fraud, and Trump enabler, while hiding behind a veil of left leaning journalism. It's disrespectful to the audience.

And with the right wing turn of CNN, the NYT actually becoming the Pitchbot, and the failures of local news, there's no such thing as a left leaning mainstream media outlet. The idea that that exists is now dead.

At the end of the day, it's not about whether your outlet is left leaning or right leaning or partisan or apolitical. It's about whether your outlet is pro democracy or not. And sitting the fence on the end of democracy is as good as enabling it.

So, in the same way we can't look to the courts, or the DOJ, or Jack Smith to save us in November, we can't look to mainstream media either. Exhausting as it is, it's on us to save ourselves yet again.

Here's your first look at Alexander Smirnov... without his face covered

The feds were warned he was an accused liar... years before he was charged with falsely claiming President Biden took a bribe

Steve Nikoui, the father of fallen Marine LCpl. Kareem Nikoui, was my guest to #SOTU2024.

He was arrested because he cried out to @JoeBiden
to remember his son.

Joe Biden has never honored those killed at the Abby Gate and still hails the catastrophic withdrawal as a success!

Our Lady of Perpetual Disappointment 🙄
@rkfatheree
I know you know what led to a chaotic final withdrawal, but in case your guest does not, please share this with him. Shame on you for exploiting his grief for klout. https://whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl

He was arrested because he broke the law. Aren't you a member of the "law and order, respect the police" party?
If he wanted redress of grievances, he should have gone to his member of Congress.
Or perhaps this is exactly what his member of Congress wanted to happen.

You knew exactly what you were doing. You provided an opportunity for the father to get arrested, because as an elected congressman you knew what he was going to do was illegal, and you wanted to score political points.

NEW: The names of the jurors in Donald Trump's hush money case will be kept secret, Justice Merchan rules, but Trump, @ManhattanDA
and their attorneys and consultants will know who they are and where they live.


Remarkable findings by Merchan:

- "The Court further finds good cause..."that there is a likelihood of bribery, jury tampering, or of physical injury or harassment of jurors."

- Trump has "an extensive history of publicly and repeatedly attacking trial jurors and grand jurors."

I’d be terrified to be on one of these juries if my identity wasn’t protected.
With court officers & lawyers knowing that seems like it should be enough.
These aren’t normal trials.
They’re mob trials.
trump doesn’t need to know now!

Congratulations to Joe Biden, Uncommitted, Marianne Williamson, and Nikki Haley for demonstrating more appeal to Democratic Party loyalists than me.

They don't want you to see that Taylor Swift told you to go vote

A #CyberAttack on #SuperTuesday is a direct attack on democracy

They are trying to prevent us from reminding everyone to vote with targeting popular services like FB & IG
