Excellent list of examples of once-respected news outlets shying away from from calling a spade a spade.
‘Cowards hiding behind euphemisms.’
The knots the media tie themselves in to avoid stating the obvious truth would be comical, if they weren’t so sinister.

Just a few days ago I wrote about the media’s cowardly euphemisms and other weasel wording that helps Trump.

Data. Messaging. Positivity. Great campaign video!
This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

American Airlines is the worst. Stuck in DFW, they keep delaying the late-evening departure to Seattle and changing gates - and their agents at the gate are clueless because they know less than their customers. I will actively try to avoid them from now on ... @americanair.bsky.social

A 7-year-old lioness reunites with the man who raised her after she was abandoned as a cub 🦁❤️ He slept beside her outside so she'd grow up as naturally as possible. Now she tackles him with love-hugs, face rubs, pure joy-until they collapse in a pile of trust. 🫶 #WildBond #HeartmeltingNature

@olafscholtz.bsky.social , please stop using X. Its owner is a clear and present danger to democracy - currently in the US, but he already started openly supporting the AFD. Disinfo via X is an important part of his strategy - and you can't just ignore it!

Trump won by only 1.4%—a 130,000-vote swing in 3 states and Harris is POTUS. The GOP kept the House by 7,000 votes in 3 districts. Democrats gained a House seat and kept Senate loses to a minimum against a terrible map.
Talk of a mandate was another Trump-Musk con media fell for.

My "home castle", Altenburg in Bamberg, Germany. Not the biggest, most authentic (resurrected in the 1800s) or most impressive castle - but after growing up in its shadow it will always have a special place in my heart. #castles #photography #germany
