Former President Donald Trump’s former chief-of-staff John Kelly went on the record saying that Trump is a fascist, that he has expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler, and that he repeatedly denigrated soldiers and the military. The story was not featured on the front pages of The New York Times – which published an online exclusive featuring many of Kelly’s comments – The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, or The Wall Street Journal.
The New York Times reported from multiple interviews with Kelly: “He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."
[…]
Kelly told the Times that Trump “prefers the dictator approach to government” and wanted the power “to do anything he wanted, anytime he wanted.” The Times wrote that Kelly “said Trump wanted personal loyalty to outweigh loyalty to the Constitution.” Kelly also confirmed previous reports that Trump called injured soldiers “losers and suckers," saying that the former president repeatedly denigrated soldiers who were injured at war and didn’t want "to be seen with amputees.”
[…]
Despite these repeated and deeply concerning warnings from those previously close to Trump, Kelly’s comments did not appear on the front pages of The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, or The New York Times. Mainstream outlets have repeatedly failed to give sufficient coverage to news stories about Trump’s extremism and authoritarianism.
[…]
How many also mentioned how he said that he plans to use violence to remove “the enemy within”, and literally started naming off names, and also organizations (including “the military” ultimately) that could get the job done?
Instead, they seem to prefy discoursing on Trump admiring the other guy’s p5n1s for ten minutes straight.
Here’s an alternative title: “For-profit media refuses to tell “news” and instead sells stories that maximize shareholder value in the short-term, except where that would come into conflict with c-suite value add-ons.” - bonus, or works for all of them, as in literally every single one.
I had to go to The Guardian to learn about this. We should not be forced to rely on international sources for domestic news.
Shame. Shame. Shame. 🔔🔔🔔
Border and immigration: How mass deportations would devastate Texas
Former President and current presidential candidate Donald Trump has promised, if elected, to implement the “largest deportation in the history of our country.” If such an operation were carried out, a second Trump regime could target around 11 million undocumented people in the United States. Trump’s running mate, vice presidential candidate JD Vance, has suggested starting with 1 million deportations a year—a figure that dwarfs the total reached in any year of Trump’s presidency or that of Barack Obama. The proposal has become a rallying cry for Trump’s base, with supporters brandishing matching signs at rallies reading “Mass Deportations Now.”
[…] Immigrants exist across our economic spectrum. They’re everywhere. They’re us. When we talk about eliminating them from our society, it’s like not just talking about cutting off a finger. We’re talking about cutting off entire legs from the thigh down.”
I tell you, any true story to do with Hitler remotely linked to Kamala Harris were to be revealed it would be on all the front pages.
