The President just spoke to approx 1,000 mostly black voters in Philly about the massive stakes in this election.

MSNBC CNN & others did not show it.

Instead, more coverage about a trial that impacts one person: Trump.

Then they'll ask, why isn't your message getting out?

It’s weird how these even-keeled nonpartisan justices married such right-wing extremists.

Plainly worse than 'deplorables,' but to my knowledge, not one major news organization has taken note of it: newrepublic.com/article/181973…

We looked at coverage of Trump describing his political enemies as “vermin” in November versus Hillary Clinton’s 2016 “basket of deplorables” remark. The disparity was startling. mediamatters.org/donald-trump/m…

It’s hard to compete with this

How is this not bigger news?

Trump posted a video of one of his supporters attacking 'blowjob liberals' and raging that if Trump is elected, he will 'get rid' of liberals, who will be 'gone.'

Trump is plainly endorsing those sentiments. 1/

Happy birthday to one of the greatest rappers ever (and the first person to catch an alley-oop), Andre 3000!

Tim Scott keeps going on TV news shows to avoid answering questions. And TV news shows keep putting him on anyway. It’s enough to make any rational person think it’s just a performance by both Scott and the “journalists.” politico.com/news/2024/05/2…

The Washington Post held on to the news of Alito’s upside down flag so they could focus on the important stuff like asking if Joe Biden talks about his dead kids too much.

The Washington Post admits that it has known about the upside-down American flag at Alito’s house for THREE YEARS but decided not to publish the fact. WaPo claims it was unclear if the flag display was related to politics. Stunning. And lame. (Gift link) wapo.st/4dS1BCf

I'm really glad that vice presidential candidate, Nicole Shanahan, tweeted this because it gives me a chance to talk about how reporting is done. This is called a 'no surprises' letter and was my final attempt (after a half dozen interview requests and questions to the RFK

Public Misinformed, Says Prominent Member of Public-Informing Industry

US Marine Trevor Reed should’ve been interviewed by every network yesterday after Trump’s post about Gershkovich. Nobody knows more about this than him. Was he?

Many of my best colleagues at Media Matters lost their jobs today. I'm sharing their announcements in this thread. However you feel about our work, it should worry you that any billionaire could do this to any outlet at any time for any reason. It's a sad day for free speech. 🧵

I’ve seen the press corps unite in outrage over offenses such as briefing room seating assignments, interview frequency, and the Obama White House deeming Fox “not a news organization.” Now Trump is openly conspiring to keep a colleague imprisoned as a hostage in Russia. Hello?

I figured the Supreme Court's Alexander would be bad. But it's so much worse than I expected. Alito loaded his majority opinion with traps to make it nearly impossible for any plaintiff to prove racial gerrymandering in court. A full-on gutting of the equal protection clause.
