"The mainstream media, is, unsurprisingly, not covering itself in glory as it struggles to avoid saying that either the president’s brain has completely left the station or that he’s a mendacious liar who knows no bounds, or both."
The muted response to Trump 9/11 fantasy is a media failure
It’s not “disputed.” He’s delusional.

(🧵|🚨) BREAKING: *Three years* ago PROOF ran a long, well-sourced report confirming that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu *knew* from Middle Eastern “grand bargain” co-conspirators that the October 7 attack was coming before it came—and let Israelis die for political gain. Now Haaretz has confirmed it.

Every week the richest man in the world, who is both an unambiguous white supremacist and the largest Republican donor, posts heinous racist and antisemitic slop to the social media network he controls. Every week, reporters fail to treat this as a scandal worth their readers' time.
