“Media failure” more or less summarizes the entirety of 2024 and the absolute negligence the media displayed by sanewashing Trump during the election cycle.
America voted for this.
This is Trump’s lackeys setting up to make good on his campaign promise to end taxes on overtime. Amazing that millions of idiots didn’t get that his plan was to end taxes on overtime by ending overtime.
Its a feature not a bug. Notice how the 1st assassination attempt information dried up before the election? There is zero effort to report actual news. They will report MTG saying some crazy things, but regarding a leaked Gaetz ethics report …. nope nothing.
Sorry, but I don’t think the media failed at all. The media did as they were told to do by their rich owners. Even NPR is beholding to some very rich players.
It’s almost like he actually doesn’t give a shit about people and only wants to make more money and create more influence for himself.
Now, when he takes office, he will raise the threshold by a meaningless amount. For some reason, that won’t be an overreach of authority at all. And then he will take a victory lap as a champion of the working class.
America, how could you let Russia do this to you?
Look at them.
You lost to ***that?!*** smh
What do you want them to do? They tried for years and nobody listens because most people watch Fox News and thinks msnbc is communist. I’ve given up and so has everyone else that voted for Kamala. I’m just keeping my head down and trying not to spend money except essentials. Nothing will get through to MAGAts until it all collapses. They can’t blame the dems anymore. Well I guess they can but then they are too far gone anyway. It is what it is. I’m just trying to find the humor it’s it now.
It’s called manufacture consent, and the media has been doing it for ages. Herman & Chomsky wrote about it in 1988. The only reason it’s easier to see now is because of just how utterly absurd and anti-American one of our two major political parties has become.
Problem is, you still need to be paying attention to see it, and, well, that fucking ship has sailed.
reading the lyrics to ‘rich men’ already showed how stupid and confused they already were with their dumb complaints
90% of all media in America is owned by 6 companies and 5 of the 6 are owned by conservatives.
There was no big media failure. The failure was in the American people thinking that left wing liberals ran the media in America.
The (un)funny thing about this is that many of the people who were bumped up to 43,888 on July 1st will likely face either increased workloads to keep their salary, pay reduction or an inability to leave their job in a horizontal move because of this ruling. Setting the salary back to 36k is insane and is basically poverty levels for working adults in any city.
Keep showing their hypocrisy. It does nothing to them. They will continue to get what they want.
The only group that grows larger every time a conservative christian is shown to be a hypocrite is a non-religious one.
Nobody will care.
Facts do not matter. Blatant lies don’t matter. Just make people feel good and we’ll follow like the sheep we are. We’ll create so much cognitive dissonance and mental gymnastics to justify the most irrational things and we’ll happily do so to make ourselves believe the lie. Propaganda wins. Narratives win. Charisma wins. Facts and reality do not win.
Unfortunately, this is nothing new. As Americans, we did this very thing to make ourselves believe these lies. That policies matter, rational thinking matters, ideologies matter, democracy matters, education matters, hell even that freedom matters. It just doesn’t. People want money, food, shelter, and safety. Whoever will convince us that they’ll give us these things and blame the other side will win, regardless of any sense of truth.
Apologies if this is interpreted to be doomer mentality. I’m not advocating for people to not fight for good ideas. It’s just meant to shine a light on how power is really achieved. Articles like this are tough to convince people when everyone is trapped in their own digital bubbles that make them feel good for thinking how they already think. However, the press should absolutely be saying these things though. They need to continually bash us over our heads with this stuff like we’re the dumb. They are the only force left that can hold this government accountable and create the narratives to get us out of this mess.
My trumpet friend was just bragging to me that trump is gonna make his overtime tax free. LOL
Elon: $330b. Linda McMahon: $3b. Vivek: $1b. Trump: $5.5b. Dana White: $500m. Dr Oz and Rogan: $200m. And people that walk amongst me think these folk give a flying fuck about the poor and middle class?
Can’t wait for the next four years….. Said no one.
Merica. Land of the brainwashed and enslaved
Everyone needs to be prepared for the media whitewashing MAGA immigration concentration camps.
The “Rich Man from Richmond” thing was one of the most obvious and clear cases of Astroturfing I’ve ever seen in my life. The moment it became clear to, likely Daily Wire and their pocketbook, that the guy was a bit more of a socialist than they previous thought, he got dropped faster than a High School girl turning 19 at a Matt Gatez party.
Nothing about that man’s sudden “growth” or his decline was organic. Daily Wire thought they could reach the independents who are both Trump and Bernie supporters, but the second he wasn’t going to toe the line, he was out.
FOX produced Trump the same way the producers of the Celebrity Apprentice produced Trump and made him seem successful when he was actually failing . FOX is now poised to be the official propaganda channel of the next administration. They will lie , omitt, cover up, mis-represent all news concerning him as his White House targets real journalists and bloggers .
Bezos and Musk were in court yesterday arguing that the NLRB is unconstitutional. This judge did this. And, that’s just two examples. If you work for a living and vote for Republicans you’re just fucking clueless.
I know from first hand experience that the raises budgeted for next year for those who may have worked enough to get overtime, but who were going to see higher wages have now been rolled back. Americans will earn less money and businesses more because of this ruling.
Trump: We won’t tax overtime pay.
Trump Judge: We won’t tax the overtime pay you won’t get.
Trump supporter: But the cost of eggs will go down, right?
Avian Flu: Hold my beer.
When it comes to things related to the Rapist in Chief, the media has failed time after time over the last decade. From giving him free coverage because of how ridiculous he is, to moving on to his next ridiculous action instead of continuing to beat the drum on his worst actions, the media has no interest in holding him accountable.
Until every headline prefixes his name with rapist, insurrectionist, suspected pedophile, or substitute his name with something like Rapist in Chief, the media will clearly be showing that it prefers to kowtow. Every single article or piece on him should include a number of the ridiculous things that he has done, an ever-expanding list of his criminality.
Other criminals get headlines like “Cult Leader,” “Serial Killer,” “Suspected Arsonist” – even when the news piece is not about the crime. Why is Reverse Oedipus Complex and his cronies get more gentle treatment?
The media isn’t failing, they’re doing exactly what their wealthy corporate executives want them to do. We need to stop expecting them to look out for regular people when their entire goal is to make their owners richer
Media doesn’t care because the people don’t care. We are rotten from within. We don’t want truth we want ammunition for our enemies and reassurance we are superior.
If I cannot get paid for my overtime, I will not be working overtime. Period. The employer doesn’t like it, tough. Get some other fool to do it.
My 3 Dem reps all expressed absolutely nothing about this, just like every other dem rep…. why do they get a pass?
In some nations, such a legal attack would trigger rioting by organized labor.
Here, we sleep.
American workers care more about trans people they’ll never meet, and little about the economic issues that actually define their average day.
Only time will tell what Americas fate will be. But I don’t predict any improvements for normal workers.
This is going to be four years of “I told you so!”
Trump, a wealthy real estate tycoon who spent most of his career living in New York City – a literal rich man north of Richmond, used the song at his rallies/campaign events. He is exactly who the type of person the song is about, but the same people using it as a rallying cry support him wholeheartedly.
We didn’t need a court ruling to prove the hypocrisy.
The media has always favored, and been controlled by, the wealthy. What exactly were you expecting to happen?
Can’t tax overtime if you don’t *pay* overtime. Republicans love this one weird trick!!!
Working as expected. I’m happy that people are getting what they voted for. I hope they get a lot more of the same.
Throw it in the pile
The media failure has been ongoing since 2016.
Alternative theory
The *media* isn’t failing. The issue is that the *right wing media* that intravenously provides talking points to all the so-called underdogs has much more of a grasp on this country than anyone cares to admit.
“Rich Men North of Richmond” wasn’t a big deal because the *media* allowed it to be. It’s because the *right wing media* infrastructure decides what is and isn’t allowed to be broadcast to the masses. Just as they’ve claimed the *mainstream media* has always done.
Can’t wait to prove everyone right when I can’t afford my meds to live
I wish we’d stop treating the media like they’re a bunch of bumbling baffoons who don’t know how to report news properly and that they’re failing at their job…
No they aren’t, they are absolutely doing this on purpose, it’s a feature not a bug, and they are 100% complicit. It’s time we accepted that main stream media has been compromised.
I thought the trump voters said trump was for the working guy? What happened, oh did he lie? Come on that can’t be right. I am really tired of the excuses they have for him, they should just be honest, it’s plain old racism.
