Am curious regarding the fundamental principle of:
How should we treat people - should it be with equality or equity?
This answer serves as the clearest indicator on what we can expect of our future
It is not intended to be nuanced or deceptive - just highlight the one key factor for our success

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

The parents of the codgers who hit the like button or declare in the comments that they like AC/DC or Van Halen or whatever (perhaps comparing them to “today’s so-called music”) probably read the newspaper and watched Cronkite every night.

I think that you might still care and also agree with the fact:
- anyone that continues to make "excuses" or rationalizes the White House actions - that's exactly what they want.
Taking it step-by-step is how everything is lost, and being "complicit" in the company of those with whom you disagree

I’ve considered it and, you know what? I don’t fucking care.
They’ve already elevated those exact far right outlets at the Pentagon and pushed out legacy media.
Legitimate news outfits can take a stand against this now, or they can meekly enable this fascist shit & *still* get pushed out later.

Consider the possibility that the Trump White House WANTS this fight. Wants journalists to act like opponents instead of observers. If the entire press pool skipped a Trump photo op in solidarity with The AP, wouldn't the White House welcome Breitbart and One America News to take their places?

PCE inflation has fallen to 2.1%—nearly at its 2% target—and incomes are up nearly $4,000.
The economy has grown 12.6% under President Biden—more than any presidential term this century.
16 million jobs created and the lowest unemployment in 50 years.
🚨 Do not let Trump take any credit for this.
