Fascism as a feature, not a bug. As ever, the #BrokenTimes writes from Trump's perspective, not citizens'. "Defying legal limits" is, AKA, breaking laws. "Sweeping presidential authority" is, AKA, totalitarianism. "Adherents of sweeping presidential authority" is, AKA, fascism.
Defying Legal Limits, Trump Firings Set Up Tests That Could Expand His Power The prospect of legal challenges to President Trump’s purges may be a feature, not a bug, for adherents of sweeping presidential authority.

This is how the bitchy #BrokenTimes presents Caroline Kennedy's vital and brave statement: as snarky celebrity gossip.

God, I hate the "polarization" framing. It is an insidious form of bothsidesing and normalization. Kennedy is a dangerous kook but #BrokenTimes is allergic to judgment.

This is how the Times dismisses the opposition: "gasping," "powerless," "in the wilderness." The same should be said of the #BrokenTimes, #BrokenPost, #BrokenCNN and the rest of incumbent mass media.
Trump’s ‘Flood the Zone’ Strategy Leaves Opponents Gasping in Outrage A deliberate effort by the president and his team to roll out an unceasing flow of initiatives has knocked his rivals off balance in the first days of the new administration.
Powerless, Democrats Debate Just How Deep in the Wilderness They Are Party leaders disagree sharply on how to interpret the losses that gave Republicans complete control of the federal government, with some calling for a reinvention and others a wait-and-see.

Baker, of course. Yes, Peter, this is how authoritarians work. He admires Trump for implementing his totalitarianism "systematically and methodically" but doesn't call this what it is: fascism. #BrokenTimes, so broken.
News Analysis Amid the Chaos, Trump Has a Simple Message: He’s in Charge The new president has moved with lightning speed to purge officials he deems disloyal and rid agencies of policies he considers liberal.

Can The New York Times no longer speak English? The autocrat is illegally withholding funds to destroy government. What is that "partisan ideology"? Totalitarianism. Fascism. Get a dictionary, #BrokenTimes. Say the words.

#brokentimes

How about using the appropriate verb "purge," #BrokenTimes? That is what this is, not just a "shake up." You continue to soft-pedal totalitarianism and fascism with your white-gloved euphemisms.

Oh, the credulity. This is what totalitarianism looks like. It's not about policy. It's only about power. You should know that, #BrokenTimes.

The question headline is not just a punchline, it is insidious, for it opens the window to prevarication. The answer? Yes, #BrokenTimes. This is the ultimate end of Reconstruction.

Good Lord. Having run out of American diners, the #BrokenTimes resorts to mining European Kneipes and bistrots for fascist-friendly quotes. How about interviewing instead the Germans demonstrating to protect democracy?

In which Peter Baker does catalog Trump's excesses but misses the plot: Authoritarian insurrection from inside; i.e., fascism. And then he bothsides; Mr. : "Trump is hardly the first president to push the limits of presidential power." That earns a #BrokenTimes

All the world's a diner, and the #BrokenTimes is merely its stenographer, giving fascist followers space (and portraits) to spew their fears, hate, lies, and ignorance without challenge. This is not journalism; it is complicity.

The #BrokenTimes does the right wing's job for them, all but complaining about woke nominations.

In which the very #BrokenTimes feeds Trump's racist, retrograde agenda by asking--just asking, I'm sure they'll say--"whether DEI itself is the problem" and setting Blacks and Jews in opposition.

Why is this the lead story on the #BrokenTimes right now? His every burp is not news. National news is treating him as they treated Trump, turning every utterance into a "news" story.

In the 19th century, newspapers indeed hired stenographers to record and publish speeches. Then they hired reporters to report. That was the birth of journalism. This is its death. #BrokenTimes.

Do not normalize discourse around invading Canada or Greenland.

Do not express opinions about it as if it were a normal political topic to discuss over Sunday dinner.

That is sanewashing.

It should never become a thing anyone thinks or speaks about with quotidian ease or pseudo-intellectual fervor.

A Baker special: He wonders at Trump making his felonies a "little thing" while himself making it a little thing, "already baked into the system." Thus the #BrokenTimes trivializes the crimes of the president.

The #BrokenTimes uses passive voice on Alito's behalf. He should not have taken the phone call. He should have said it would be improper to do so. But to him, nothing is improper. And the Times gives him slack.
How a Phone Call Drew Alito Into a Trump Loyalty Squabble The phone call centered on a former law clerk of Justice Alito’s. In the eyes of the Trump team, the clerk still needed to prove his loyalty to the president-elect.

The #BrokenTimes is sanewashing war. Why might Trump want to invade a NATO ally? We'll explain Lebensraum while we're at it. This is how they are covering fascism.

#brokentimes

I'm screaming at my screen. "Emboldened Trump." "Territorial Expansion." HE THREATENS WAR AGAINST ALLIES--not to mention Gaza--and these are the #BrokenTimes' latest white-gloved euphemisms for totalitarianism. This is how they cover fascism, covering it with niceties.

#brokentimes

They used to turn every Trump tweet into a "news" story. Now they're doing that with Musk. No, his every blathering is not news. Stop amplifying him. He has his own megaphone. #BrokenTimes
In About-Face, Musk Trashes Farage, U.K.’s Anti-Immigrant Populist Elon Musk, the billionaire backer of Donald J. Trump, had been promoting Nigel Farage. But on Sunday Mr. Musk said Mr. Farage “doesn’t have what it takes.”

The #BrokenTimes wants Democrats to wear their hair-shirt. Will it engage in a "broad reckoning" for news media's role in fascism's takeover? But no....
As Democrats Reel, Two Front-Runners Emerge in a Leadership Battle The race to lead the Democratic National Committee centers on the favorites, Ken Martin and Ben Wikler, but the party’s infighting over them looks nothing like a broad reckoning with its 2024 defeats.

A little late! And once again, Baker the #BrokenTimes forfeit an opportunity for journalistic self-reflection: media as accessory to Trump's lies. But no....
Trump Sees the U.S. as a ‘Disaster.’ The Numbers Tell a Different Story. President Biden is bequeathing his successor a nation that by many measures is in good shape, even if voters remain unconvinced.
