It would be incredible if we could get through a lawsuit to news stations anytime they make bad assumptions in articles. They continually write "Federal agents detained ..." when they should be writing "A team of unidentified individuals in masks and armor detained ..."
Just as they are always meant to write "The suspect" not "The criminal". Nothing must be assumed in reporting (exceptions allowed if they've contacted ICE headquarters and received a confirmation of them)
The media is the 4th branch, they won’t report on these things until they have to. And even then, they’ll find a way to delegitimize.

For now, anyway. Due process and the presumption of innocence are still holding up, but the fascists are working hard on that one.

What? No friend, that's a very privileged viewpoint that doesn't hold true for many people and never has.
Right, I know it's under attack, but why then hasn't media just dispensed with the pretense? Life would be so much easier if people stopped lying to each other, putting on fronts and making pretentions at being something or someone they're not. It's like, we know they're full of shit, they know they're full of shit. They know that we know, and we know that they know. So, what's the point of keeping up this bullshit game any longer?
It's not that it's under attack it's that it was never a thing to a portion of the populace. Namely black/brown/indigenous people.
The media hasn't dispensed with the pretense because they're propagandists owned by billionaires who have no interest in educating or informing people of the actual issues and only exist to distract and redirect the populace attention to the bread and circuses.
Well, the circus is getting too expensive and the bread is out of stock, and you can't distract a rumbling belly for long. My argument stands. We know they're all full of shit. They know they're all full of shit. They know that we know, and we know that they know that we know. These "games" aren't fun, anymore, so why keep playing? Then again, I suppose nobody ever asks the chess pieces if they're enjoying the game as much as the players are.
You have not been reading the news recently.
Uh, that's why I said the fascists are still working on it. We'll know it's really gone when shows like COPS can no longer say, "All suspects shown are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law."
