This is Why It's Impossible to Trust Corporate Media
Seriously.
This week, Trump tried to use Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal to distract us from his horrible cabinet picks—plus the fact Elon is actually the one in charge.
In the process, Donald reminded us how clueless he is on foreign policy, offended our allies, and embarrassed America on the world stage. So of course corporate media is hard at work, attempting to clean up this whole mess for Trump.
CNN, NY Times, Reuters, BBC, AP and others ran headlines legitimizing his absurd lies. But the worst, by far, came from The Washington Post, who ran this story just yesterday: “Trump team says Canada, Greenland, Panama comments are part of a broader plan.”
This is a sad attempt to explain away Trump’s unhinged behavior. They’re painting a picture that Trump is playing 3D chess, when in reality he’s playing Candy Land while eating the game pieces.
It was only two weeks ago when the owner of WaPo—Jeff Bezos—met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. And now, the paper just so happens to be trying to justify Donald’s bogus arguments, acting like the root of this nonsense is brilliant gamesmanship.
There is no doubt in my mind that this is only the beginning of what’s to come. Trump will lie or say something ridiculous, and the Press will go the extra mile. Not only to spread it with their bogus headlines, but to add layers of lies to validate what he says.
This is why it’s impossible to trust corporate media. They will help Trump get away with all kinds of trash. But we won’t let them.
Our Watchdog Coalition has already sent more than 85,000 letters to Senators urging them to oppose Trump’s nominees. And we are just getting started.
With one of the largest social media reaches in politics, we’ll make sure everyone who still watches or reads corporate media sees just how badly they're being manipulated.
We’ll also continue to help lead the charge in fighting Trump, every single day, just like we have for the last 8 years.
We have no billionaires who own us and no advertisers pushing us to sell junk. 100% of our funding comes from paid subscribers, and we need all the help we can get.

Do you buy the idea that this is all one part of Trump’s “larger strategy?” Or is it all just a distraction?

Loved the Candyland, while eating the game pieces reference. Probably adds some ketchup.
