It’s been clear for a while that corporate media is nothing but stenographers for fascists, racists and Nazis.
There’s zero pushback when women are called piggy, no pushback against racist rants that endanger people, no pushback against his cognitive impairments, etc.
Call it what it is.

The Trump administration ignored a request from top election officials seeking answers to its unprecedented hunt for state voter data. As their deadline came and went, the federal government’s motives, and what this could mean for voters, remain unclear.

Republicans pulled him behind closed doors.
When you want truth, you hold a hearing.
When you want control, you close the door.
This isn’t oversight, it’s the rewrite before the next move.
