Media has been sanewashing the #BloviatingOrangeBuffoon for 8 years now. The more outre his utterances, the more vigorous washing they have to do.
It's insane that he will be President again. It should never have happened. The #brokenTimes is just one spoke in the #CrazyWheel that got him there.


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.
As a Felon, Trump Upends How Americans View the Presidency https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/us/politics/trump-felon-presidency.html?smid=tw-share


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.


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.


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.


FFS. The #BrokenTimes continues to insist on equating "working class" with "white."

This should be a story about media's failures to adequately inform the public but, of course, the last place to find that would be in the #BrokenTimes.
The Number of Murders Kept Falling This Year, but Fear of Crime Persists https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/us/murders-decline-crime-concerns.html?smid=tw-share


Polling is the ruin of public discourse and democracy--but OK, sure, let's have the criminals judge the crimes...

How Top Pollsters Grade 2024’s Polls
Despite a pretty accurate year, the pre-election polls once again underestimated support for Donald Trump. Does that make it a successful polling cycle, or not?


#BrokenCNN, #BrokenPost, #BrokenTimes sanewash him. But now it's not just his wacky babbling; it represents a threat.




I'm screaming. *Now* the #BrokenTimes calls the economy "remarkable" and reports on Trump's threats to it. Before the election, they were shouting about the price of eggs.
Where Does a ‘Remarkable’ U.S. Economy Go From Here?
America’s economy is far outstripping its peers, but there are serious risks, including from the president-elect.


I'm a media critic. I read and point to that which I criticize.
Please don't tell me the #BrokenTimes, #BrokenPost have paywalls and registration. We know.
Please don't tell me to stop reading.
If you don't want traffic to go to them, don't click.
We have more important things to worry about!

This is a low ebb of corporate public relations: UnitedHealth CEO exploits empathy for colleague's murder to dissemble responsibility for state of health care and insurance and his company's faults, and the #BrokenTimes runs it.

What's shocking about @oliverdarcy's scoop about Paul Krugman's regrettable exit from the #BrokenTimes is that columnists are now edited. How do so many crap columns make it through? Maybe they edit only the liberals.
The Krugman-Kingsbury Kerfuffle
https://www.status.news/p/paul-krugman-new-york-times-exit
But things changed in recent years. In 2021, Kingsbury was named Opinion editor and, under her leadership, columns have started receiving a far more thorough edit. Editors may challenge the premise of an author’s column or assertions made within them. Moreover, columnists are not just permitted to write about anything they desire. Sometimes Opinion leadership vetoes pitches.


And what about the Republicans and their 78-year-old geezer, #BrokenTimes?

"Trump remains defiant" is a forever headline, never new--which is to say it is not news, for defiance against all norms, laws, and morals is the point of him. Learn that and then report from there, #BrokenTimes.


"Bravado, bombast and baggage." Fuck your alliterative cuteness, #BrokenTimes. He is a dangerous extremist. Say so.


Unlike yesterday's #BrokenTimes puff piece on Don Jr., this #GoodTimes reporting chronicles what a fucked-up, privileged scion RFK is (like his new boss, Trump). Gift link:

It is a banner day for #BrokenTimes normalization of extremism and obeisance in advance. These headlines are subtle and insidious in their acceptance. There is an editorial agenda at work here. They call it news judgment.





The #BrokenTimes headline on $95 turkeys & leaves an inflationary impression, while at the link NBC reports that Thanksgiving dinner is historically affordable this year: better than in 40 years. And they wonder why people are ignorant about the economy.

why a pasture-raised Thanksgiving turkey costs $95


Subtle, nefarious #BrokenTimes normalization here, treating opposition to racism, misogyny, fascism as a bothsidesed condition. Note it's the liberal woman here who is made to move.

#BrokenTimes obeys in advance & normalizes anti-science, anti-medicine, anti-institutional crackpot Kennedy conspiracies as an anti-elite "science," not the perilous insanity it is. People will die.

At a time when trans people are facing horrendous bigotry and threats, Jeremy Peters and the #BrokenTimes tell the victims--not the bigots attacking them--to cool it.

The Times continues its complacent, white-gloved euphemisms: "suggest a shake-up is coming" from "ideas that are outside the medical mainstream" by Trump's "eclectic roster." People will DIE due to the rejection of medicine & science. Lord help us, for the #BrokenTimes will not.

Did you ever consider, #BrokenTimes, that they are not turning out the news so much as the news as you deliver it?

"Drifted"? No, #BrokenTimes, he most definitely took the hardest right turn possible.

FFS, #BrokenTimes, you know he will not; he has taken away every environmental protection. Your credulity defrauds your audience. Stop.

JFC. Of course, Nate Silver would say this, and naturally in the #BrokenTimes. Polling is to blame for the ruin of public discourse.
