🚨 BREAKING: AOC just called out the media for spending years fixated on Biden’s cognition while barely touching Trump’s very real cognitive decline and escalating erratic behavior.

None of this is normal. And pretending it is, is journalistic malpractice.

1. Talking heads live in fear of their paid shill Big Suit Bosses. /nt

[Omnipresent]

2. They only go after people who don't sue them.

President Biden never sued them.

3. Tapper, what say you.........................

5. Tapper could care less as long as he gets his fat paycheck, along with others. They are corporate whores, who are

selling their souls for the almighty dollar.

Until people stop patronizing those so-called news outlets, this will continue. It is like a drug, people are addicted to this garbage. "BREAKING NEWS", really isn't breaking news, it is regurgitating the same bullshit day after day, "Democrats bad, republicans good".

They thrive because people are watching their garbage. They are not interested in accuracy or truth, that has been pushed out window a long time ago.

4. She is right of course, but this has been going on for quite some time. When Bernard Goldberg wrote the book Bias

complaining about the "liberal media", that distortion and misrepresentation accelerated to where much of what is considered the MSM, is now right wing propaganda for the republican party today. It can be legitimately argued as trump controlled media. Just look at what happened at CBS, Washington Post, LA Times, etc.

Look at all the law firms that bowed before the wantabe dictator in the WH.

Hillary's email, Biden's cognition, the media making jokes about Al Gore during the 2000 election, etc.

The real bias isn't the "liberal media", it is the corporate takeover of our Democracy.

6. You're the best, AOC

7. Meanwhile, in the background

a man in walker tries to make forward progress.

13. Irrelevant

Why not comment on what she is say instead of snark? Is it so hard to show support for a democrat?

[Probatim]

15. I had the same thought - here comes pedonald "racing" in to yell at AOC.

Pointing this out doesn't make her comments any less important. In these shitty times, it helps to have a sense of humor.

[mr715]

21. Absolutely. No notes for the Gentlewoman from the Bronx

It is important to laugh.

[angrychair]

8. They didn't care

None of this is normal. And pretending it is, is journalistic malpractice.

The news media looked back at her, over their collective shoulder, laughed, and returned to counting their big stacks of money from billionaires.

9. Media Malpractice

This has been going on since Reagan canceled the Fairness Doctrine. That opened the door for Fox News and the other media outlets followed suit. Just follow the money as that is home to the malpractice and non-stop lies.

10. So refreshing how a Democrate politician...

….can simply walk out of the elevator and casually answer questions honestly.
Republicans would either run or twist the truth into an unrecognizable pretzel.

[BaronChocula]

11. And the signs of decline continue daily

All that blank space above represents the coverage it gets. No "voters concerned" articles or segments. No experts interviewed. No weeklong coverage of him calling Greenland Iceland. No daily count of his delusions. This country is so good to white men devoted to the preservation of white male privilege.

12. He's up, he's down, he's all around. He's a mess. Better living through chemistry.

[progressoid]

14. They all need to be called out.

Every day.

[LilElf70]

16. AOC is 100% correct

as she always is.

Telling the truth is hard to come by lately, but this woman always comes thru every time.

[Wednesdays]

17. It's not journalistic malpractice.

They're doing exactly what they're told to do.

[SocialDemocrat61]

20. True!

[malaise]

18. Well said

Rec

[Orrex]

19. We need more of this and less voting to fund ICE, for instance

[W_HAMILTON]

23. More of what AOC is doing and less criticizing the Democratic Party!

The Democratic Party that voted en masse against funding ICE!

And the Democratic Party that wouldn't be ordering ICE to attack our cities to begin with if they had been voted into power instead of fascist MAGA Republicans!

[Orrex]

24. If we're unable to criticize Democrats, then they're no different from Republicans

Criticism is not bashing; it’s a reasonable response to choices made that have both immediate and long lasting impact.

Do you really think that AOC has never had a sharp word for her colleagues? would you also tell her that criticism ist verboten?

[W_HAMILTON]

22. Everytime someone criticizes Democrats, THIS is what they should be doing instead.

Brava, AOC!

Keep on calling out our fascist friendly media!

[Mosby]

25. Journalistic malpractice

If only....

[Joinfortmill]

26. I love her.

[MaineBlueBear]

27. Journalistic malpractice is all they're serving

to profit their corporate masters.

[Scubamatt]

28. THANK YOU, AOC!!!!

For calling out the corrupt media. They spent every moment for nearly five solid months harping about Joe Biden's age and issues, keeping it at the top of the public's minds (despite Trump being a convicted felon) yet ignore and sane-wash the orange insanity. When we take back the White House, we need to enact a more muscled version of the Fairness Doctrine and start investigating the media under the antitrust laws. Why not sue them for no reason, like Trump gets away with, to get them to accept some code of ethical journalism as a condition of their airwaves license?
