The question of the year is whether or not the Main Stream Media (MSM) is going to cover TFG as just another candidate? Or… Or, are they going to cover him as the criminal, wanna be dictator he is.
I’ve seen and read articles from some that they may be taking the words and actions of TFG more seriously than they have in the past. But, that’s no guarantee they will continue. Will they self edit any critique from their coverage? Will the pressure come from above to reduce covering TFG in any negative light? (For the sake of profit. Because a horse race, in their eyes, brings in more ad revenue.)
What more will the GOP controlled House do to insert themselves into Presidential politics? Will the MSM cover the House GOP shenanigans as the cynical ploys they are? Or will they pretend to give them serious weight?
I don’t know why I’m still surprised at the real and/or feigned ignorance of Americans about their own history and how their government is supposed to work. That ignorance shows its face in a multitude of ways, but one that consistently raises its head is not knowing the definitions of socialism and communism. Another is not understanding that fascism is a right wing ideology.
If you have questions, just check out this chart from the Hampton Roads Military Museum.
But the question remains, will this year bring us good news or bad news. Good news being the survival of democracy. Bad news being the end of democracy. And IMHO, the question isn’t hyperbole.
