 "What did the media do in response to this broadside threat? Yawned. Oh, rather, it ran another story about voters worried about Joe Biden’s age and the price of gas.

The media has an important role in protecting democracy. If it can’t rouse itself to condemn threats against freedom of the press, it will deserve what happens if Trump is elected."

 @f884fa2b this week Trump has called for the highest ranking officer in the military to be executed (for working with the Trump White House to keep China from attacking us no less), imprisonment of any media who are critical of him and the resignation of all Democratic Senators. 

A couple of weeks ago he suggested he'd have Biden arrested and executed. 

It's not a stretch to say he sounds like Hitler. It's a fact he sounds like Hitler.

 @f884fa2b Ya'll never gonna get anywhere with the oligarch propaganda legacy media.

There is no major media company that isn't wholey in the pocket of the billionaire oligarchs that are causing this. None. 

And until literally everyone who matters stops reading them, watching them, and whining that they're doing it wrong, they ain't gonna change.
