David Corn on major media normalizing Trump's disastrous speech

This post is a good example of how major media normalize Trump's erratic conduct and inability to present a coherent explanation of his war strategy--if you can even call it that.

Another example of major media normalizing an erratic and internally incoherent speech.

And yet more major media normalization of an erratic and internally incoherent speech full of lies.

For the war machine and the capitalist class since its’ inception. I’m surprised that anyone is still surprised.

for years...they parse his verbal spew, extracting a slurred series of words, and then present the filtered sludge as rational political discourse...

12. Headlines of a functional news media

"Trump declares his intent to commit war crimes and turn the United States into a global pariah"

"Trump's list of war crimes mounts."

"Trump promises to sentence millions of innocent Iranians to death if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened"

"Destruction of Iran's power plants, oil wells, and desalinization plants would cause catastrophic civilian deaths that would rapidly exceed the combined total of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and could ultimately cause the death of millions.

And more... Call for suggestions


Tragically, I suspect we won't be seeing many of these in newsfeeds tomorrow.
