You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.

What’s even worse are the elected Dems who aren’t doing a damn thing. If they did, media would then have to quote them, take photos etc., like Newsom. Where are all the rest of the officials?

True mark of the authoritarian
-
They can't handle the truth!
-
Billionaires own traditional media, and Trump owns the billionaires. Simple math.
-
What's crazy is expecting the media to put him and is keeping him there to allow a negative word against Trump.
-
When they are all complicit there wouldn’t be, would there?
-
No mainstream journalists are doing differential analysis between contemporary political parties and historical fascists. It's not difficult. I wrote this for the UK.

Beyond simply "crazy," it's evil and full of shit!
-
Their grandchildren will ask why.
-
They know it’s over when he’s gone. Vance doesn’t hold the base the same way.
-
They have all capitulated. He’s basically taken control of all mainstream media/papers/news.
-
They’re all quaking in fear.
-
Except for the underground souls, mainstream media is dead.
-
MSM has kissed the ring, and it's disgusting.
-
Well, to be fair… the alternative is JD Vance
-
Yes, but see, Trump would never not recognize George Clooney so…
-
Cowardice is contagious under fascism.
-
How many were there on Biden? I think there were several but I don’t remember for sure.
-
The silence is deafening 🤐
-
They like him and want him to be our king.
-
Standing in front of the firehose, I hadn’t thought about this. These days I don’t think it would make much difference, but it’s still striking. Cowardice? Submission? The Overton Window has shifted miles backwards?All of the above?
Heartbreaking, regardless.
-
Well the WaPo and LA Times are both now partners in his propaganda, so don't expect.
-
TBH, I have seen any calls from the independent journalists either. Possible I missed it, as I had to reduce my doom scrolling from 20 to 19 hours per day.
-
They have all surrendered
-
our Emperor having no clothes (sorry for the visual) cannot abide criticism so we're left to modern- day 'court jesters,' South Park & the F'ing Simpsons
-
we're witnessing the end of democracy and the weak democratic party that we put in place to represent and protect us. Even the epstein pedophile ring will be swept under the rug...
National media and Democratic officeholders...sad. weak. complicit.
ut oh...I may get a strongly worded letter now.
-
I feel both the media and big business have just given up.
-
Tells you all you need to know about who owns our supposedly 'free' press.
-
Do you suppose none are being written, or they are written and submitted, but all immediately circular-filed?
-
Mind blowing isn’t it when this time last Summer all we hear was how the advance age of Biden and his stance on Palestine were enough to be a 24hr news cycle and front page w exactly these kinds of requests…almost like the media is NOT liberally slanted except in calling out Dem accountability.
-
And none questioning where the 1 Billion Dollars came from and went to in Epstein's Bank Accounts. WTF?
-
Of course not, the major newspapers are all owned by wealthy pals of Trump or or pretend pals who are afraid of him.
-
Because they are all cowed and quaking in their boots
Craven Cowards
-
This is why independent media is important. Unfortunately, a lot of people still rely on MSM only and refuse to do their own due diligence so it’s an uphill battle to get the real news out. Most of the MSM portrays our country as everything is fine.
-
2025 is the most gaslighting bitch ever
-
Fucking nuts
-
And THAT, may be the biggest crime. 😡
-
The Coup is official. No one is even looking into serious allegation made by Trump and Musk and many other more reputable sources that Harris lost by theft alone.
-
Scared shitless.
-
Didn't this happen before? In 1930s Germany?
-
Interesting!
-
Well, duh. They're terrified of being the next target he goes after.
-
That is crazy. Trump II is by far the worst, most dangerous president ever. And the news organizations themselves are in danger. I’m not sure what red line they’re waiting for, but they’ll be lucky to still exist by the time we get there.
-
Cowards all of them!
-
Organized crime will do that to you.
-
The apathy was evident on November 5th.
-
Yeah, they actively normalize him
-
Since he has demonstrated his revenge tactics on ABC, CBS, and NBC, most media outlets don't want to use money and time to defend against his attacks. It is a decision to just settle and pay Trump. When he loses in court, it still accomplishes his goal.
-
Newspapers aren't calling for Trump's resignation because they are scared of him They are the one of the reasons facism is happening now
-
Corporate Media silence bought.
-
Forgot the Fourth Law: Don't piss off Trump
-
...well in all fairness...they are all still busy making sure JOE doesn't run again.......................🤬🤡
-
And people have attacked me when I say the media is entirely in the bag for the GOP.
-
Is there a major newspaper anymore?
-
And hardly any from the Democrats on Congress. MTG or Bobo had articles of impeachment filed on a weekly basis, but Dems are, nah, can't do nothing.
-
Corporate OWNED media has a disturbingly corporatist (fascist) agenda.
Follow its ownership's money.
-
Major newspapers need to be considered of minor importance.
Major Newspapers aren't for helping their readers navigate the world and flourish in it.
Dishonest propaganda for a wealthy elite meant to screw people.
The worst part is that the "reporters" know it, and exclaim it when they leave.
-
Crazy that.
-
It’s sickening. Must be taught in Journalism schools to show the impact of losing a free press.
-
That wouldn't make sense. Corporate media benefits financially from Donald 💰
The firehose of insanity provides 24/7 content. Has there been one day when he wasn't in the headlines?
Corporate tax cuts reduce costs.
(Sure, there are one-off payments to settle his lawsuits, but still a net win)
-
They have all been bought up by the bad guys and been compromised #JournalismIsDead along with free speech in America 🇺🇸 💀
-
Cowed into silence.
-
The headline could have been bigger and it’s not exactly MSM but this made me smile yesterday 🤷♀️
-
The legacy news industry is a sad pathetic shadow of its former self.
-
Chickens
-
Then his scare tactics have done their job.
-
I’m sure @jaketapper.bsky.social is all over it in his next book. 🤦♂️
-
You don’t know why? It’s self evident & explanatory IMO! The writing was always on the wall in his 1st term & escalated prolifically on his campaign trail & exponentially when Kamala was his opponent! The owners of majority media outlets LOVE him! Want him! He is their personal 💴 making HERO!
-
Even the media are afraid of him
-
You're right, of course.
-
He sells eyeballs for them
-
The bad guys are winning.
-
Crazy!
-
Follow the money as this is long past time.
-
They are all weak.
-
-
FEAR
False evidence, appearing real.
-
This!! After they supposedly learned their “We just noticed Biden is old!!” lesson.
-
Thank goodness he is 79...🙄 Because it looks like there is only ONE way we will ever be free of him.
-
We can be voices asking/stating his unfitnesss for the office: say it everyday, everywhere, to everyone. Give it the exposure - politicos in every interview, press conf, town halls...the cry can become rallying if given enough oxygen.
-
Yet, let an ACCOMPLISHED person fumble a few words after a world wind tour for diplomacy, and you end up with an 8 person panel to discuss for two weeks!!
Or just leave a risotto receipt in your OLD JOB EMAIL FROM 4 YEARS PRIOR, then the news and media can MAKE A SCANDAL APPEAR out of thin air! FFS
-
They know it's hopeless and that they'll just be attacked by him and his rampantly abusive regime if they do.
-
The same capitulation Kamala talked about in her interview with Stephen Colbert.
-
Are there any major newspapers left who are not owned by Trump allies?
-
It is shocking how easily they have all accepted the regime as a fait accompli. I want to fight for democracy but my attempts seem feeble. In TX contacting reps, donating, sharing, showing up when I can.

-
The major media have bent both knees and lowered their heads in fealty. They have lost all integrity and credibility in their attempts to placate him and remain within his allowed circle.
-
Yeah, apparently he’s gonna keep shitting his pants until he’s no more
-
sweeney has the answer
-
They may be scared of what’s next
-
They fucking give him a pass for everything
-
Shocker. It’s almost like the media is owned by billionaires wanting to please an orange dicktator
-
It is not surprising based on what the media companies have paid to be forgiven for past comments.
-
Because he’s a petty bitch and will destroy them. To put it bluntly.
-
-
There are no more Katherine Grahams.
-
Because the media companies are cowards. All of them
-
Because no major newspaper want to see him gone
-
Yes! More than good point. Why? IMHO it's because all of are profit driven & corporate owned. A: Risk averse. B: Not run by true journos. C: Dependant on ad revenue from other profit driven corps.
Sadly, the days of public minded, gumshoe reporters are gone.
-
Let's hope they're prepping his obituary...
-
What kind of world are we living in when The Onion is the only rag of colic balls and strikes?
-
Because they have all capitulated per their billionaire owners' orders. They wouldn't publish them even if they were submitted.
-
so tired of all of this...Orange Fascist Sex Criminal Felon has essentially been accepted as if he was anointed by Heaven or some superior being to do as he pleases since he has made it too difficult to hold him accountable...HUMAN orange HERE is no different than ANY OTHER HUMAN - treat him like it
-
Can’t even get a reporter to ask the questions. Everyone’s scared of him.
-
The Chill is on. Our Press is not free any longer.
-
$180 in a potato chip bag garnered more outrage than any of Trump's actions. We have a proportionality problem.
-
Hard to write when you're on your knees🤨
-
Well, that's not suspicious, is it? 😉
-
I’ve turned my back completely on corporate media.
-
Most major newspapers are not free-standing organizations, but parts of larger entities (and not the money-making parts). Example: Jeff Bezos, who owns (and loses money on) our hometown fishwrap, is not about to let WaPo print anything that might encourage 47 to go after Amazon or Blue Origin.
-
But change the narrative to President Biden and that’s ALL we’d hear! Every MSM and alternate news media would bring in “experts” talking about his cognitive decline…his health issues…his total disregard for the American People. But that’s NOT who Biden is!! This narrative is all 🍊💩4🧠s!!
-
Not in congress either.
-
-
But what about Sleepy Joe????
-
They're perfectly happy for us all to live under fascism, so long as their bottom line isn't affected.
-
-
They are all owned by his comrades
-
But Charlotte why? Hasn’t he solved 6 wars? 😏
-
-
MSM has capitulated. That’s why we are here. Why we are on tik tok. Why we are on YouTube.
-
The Fourth Estate has abandoned its duty, I'm afraid we citizens are all alone in this fight against fascism.
-
all the suing did it's job.
-
Since it's obviously not "out of respect for the presidency" (see Biden) it must be "out of respect for the fascist."
-
Paid off !😇
-
Remarkable -- isn't it
-
Complicity and cowardice are ugly beasts.
-
It's incredible. And where is the Congress! Elected officials are being locked up, forced to vote on jerrymandering, and anyone/any institution who challenges him is sacked, persecuted, ridiculed. It makes no sense from here, Australia, that there is this level of fear and obedience.
-
And we all know what the headlines would have been if Joe Biden or Kamala Harris did a fraction of the damage caused by this disastrous regime.
-
Authoritarian regimes ignite fear and rely on voluntary submission. We are the frog in the slowly heating pot. Remember we outnumber them and they need to hear our voices.
-
One by one media, universities, colleges, businesses and citizens even world leaders are being beat down by Trump and his MAGA friends and followers. They kneeling to a Dictator. No one seems to have any Balls or Claws to fight. The NG ruse is to test his abilities to take states Leadership.
-
Crazy and terrifying how cowardly they are. We value their first amendment protections more than they do.
-
It’s insane.
-
As Kamala said, the surprise isn’t what’s happening, it’s the complete and utter capitulation.
-
"Dear Leader" must not be angered! Self censoring to submit in advance. Worthless!
-
There won’t be any bad press for trump on health or mental status. When trump dies they will declare him the greatest president of all time and will cover magats crying in the streets. They will say his funeral was bigger than any funeral ever. They will cry for weeks while Vance finishes us off.
-
Who's running the newspapers? People who profit off Trump.
-
The sheer cowardice of American media has been terribly disheartening. Last time around, the stands the media and companies took were a source of great comfort to me. This time, though, they raced each other to kneel. Even before Trump demonstrated his intention to rule like a mob boss. They kneeled
-
I guess the end of democracy gets lots of clicks. What a trade off.
-
Media bent the knee.
-
Its because they dont care. Trump makes money for the media. The oligarchs who own the media dont give a hoot about America. Its depressing but I think we have to accept it and figure out how to fight back without any help from the media or politicians. I dont know how but we have to find a way.
-
I want to know who is making the big choices? He is just there to talk, an actor. He’s too busy planning for the ballroom and the update Kennedy center or riding around DC with his proud boys.
-
Odd, innit.
-
Corporations looking after their bottom line? Yeah, that's crazy.
-
Yup
-
And the silence over trying another Article V like in the 1970s is deafening
-
Because they're all corpo-owned and blindly subservient to him.
-
All the mainstream newspapers are corporate shills. They’re never going to do that.
-
They see what happened in Hungary and decided “Yeah, that’s totally worth the tax breaks.”
