That’s part of why I’m just losing my fucking mind that everyone’s like “omg wow I’m shocked idk what is gonna happen next”, and the breathless shock that legacy media has about fucking everything that’s happening now.
There is a fucking playbook, you fucking imbeciles. It was published over five fucking years ago. It’s just up there on a website whose url is the same as the fucking title of the playbook. They said they’d follow the playbook. They’re following the fucking playbook. They will continue to follow the fucking playbook. You’re not fucking allowed to be surprised by this.
Yeah it's one thing for regular people to do this, but I think media just keeps digging and it's beyond repulsive. They would rather do anything but journalism and in this case journalism means sitting for 2 days reading in the comfort of your home... There's always been a debate between whether it's purposeful or lazy and I think I've gravitated towards lazy on the part of hosts and writers and purposeful on the part of decision makers that they'd hire people so opposed to work in the first place. Mehdi researched heavily and was removed... it seemed like executives fixing the glitch of accidental good journalism.
Ah yes, but you forgot when, during the campaign, Trump said "Fake news! I don't know anything about Project 2025" which then allowed all the press to ignore it.
This changes everything life hack: Whenever you're caught in a lie, just say "fake news" and go on as if nothing has happened. Works for rape, bribery, theft, corruption and some say even murder.
