Jonathan V. Last's scathing indictment of corporate media in the US is perfect:

"In an authoritarian context, all journalism will tend toward propaganda unless it is explicitly formulated as anti-authoritarian."

Last focuses on CBS and Washington Post. I'd add New York Times to the list.

"Appalling to see zero coverage of the ICE kidnappings and invasion in Chicago by @nytimes and @washingtonpost.

An unconscionable failure by the papers of records that needs to be fixed immediately."

"In Nazi Germany people kept living their everyday lives while fascism swallowed their country. Bread was bought, children played, people dated, movies played in theaters. Normal life is how fascism thrives. If it feels normal right now, that should terrify you."

While fighting for Kimmel, please don't forget others who've been punished for speaking truth to power. Karen Attiah was fired from The Washington Post for her posts on Bluesky.

I cancelled my WaPo subscription last year, but for those who still subscribe, why? You could spend your media dollars elsewhere!

"Democracy dies in darkness" indeed. Shame on the #WashingtonPost for firing #KarenAttiah, their last remaining #Black full-time opinion columnist.

Tip for blind news readers: Nothing in the Washington Post is behind a paywall for us. For whatever reason, the overlay that prevents cited people from seeing paid articles does not prevent screen readers from accessing the “listen” button that reads the article out loud with TTS. You’re welcome, and happy listening! #Blindness#Blind#Disability#News#WashingtonPost#WAPO

Columnist Philip Bump left the Washington Post last month after accepting a buyout. For his Pbump blog, he writes about power — who has it and is using it responsibly and how to preserve your own — and why he is not a fan of Twitter/X or Substack. "There’s value to debate and conversation, of course, but that isn’t what’s fostered on Twitter or (in my limited experience) on Substack. Instead, conversation occasionally glimmers through a waterfall of bad-faith, uninformed trolls and attacks. It’s an effort to play a college football game after the crowd has stormed the field."

Jonathan Capehart explains why he has now left Jeff Bezos' Washington Post, siphoning yet more brilliance and truth from that cesspool of a journalistic enterprise:

"We’re supposed to ignore [what's happening to the country under Trump]? Leave it to others to wrestle with on their news pages and websites? No, no, no, no, no, said in 'Get Out.'”
