Wow.... talk about straight up REALITY!
Ted Koppel speaks the fiery truth:
Sean Hannity is bad for America.
Tucker Carlson is bad for America.
Fox News is bad for America.
The GOP is bad for America.
MAGA is bad for America.
Trump is bad for America.

Meanwhile, speaking of #Truth (as in verifiable reality based on historical/empirical fact)....
There Is No “Both Sides” to Donald Trump’s Threat to Democracy
"Just because Republicans choose unreality doesn’t mean the media should ignore the facts of January 6."

Ya think? Seems to me he only has two speeds. It's all relative...
'Rattled' Trump publicly showing signs 'he's becoming even more unhinged': MSNBC host
Is it even possible to be more 'unhinged' than his usual?
#TrumpVirus #psychopathology has long been next level. Sadly, he projects it outward & his #GQP #cult of alternate-reality believers breathes it in, then spits it out. With help from the #GQP / #Fox et al #disinformation networks. Equally 'unhinged', with followers.
Meanwhile ...
as fascism spreads at home and abroad, wars rage, and #GQP #disinformation pounds the 'thinking' in the once-USA...

Capitalism “gives people what they want”. If what they want is misinformation, then capitalism amplifies their idiocy and rage, turning them into murderous zombies. Sure civilization ends, but at least the capitalists get rich in the meantime.
The real reason Fox News spread false election and insurrection claims: analysis
FTA: Fox News didn’t promote conservative propaganda that downplayed an insurrection and defamed a voting machine company to the tune of $1.6 billion because of deep-rooted political beliefs, a new analysis contends: They did it for cable company cash.
##### So ... "Who Is Mike Johnson?" - or "MAGA Mike" as he's now being called by his own #cult - as if that's a compliment ?!
I do hate to be the "bearer of the bad news", sky is falling etc. - on this 'place' where I know many who see my posts are not in the USA, and I apologize for my tendency to be US-centric in news headlines. In the context of a world rife with war, terror, climate disaster, etc. - and also with some good things happening! - things like mass shootings and my country's own Civil War and absurd government 'theater' in our House of Representatives....

So I end my immediate reactions to, and warnings about, the new "Speaker", #MAGAMikeJohnson with this.
#Truth - I've never been able to watch more than 3 minutes or so of #Fox & Fiends without getting nauseous &/or angry at the spread of #disinformation, tribalism, and #TrumpVirus hate... And yet maybe 1/3 of Americans are now partial to their alternate-reality.
Especially the 'false gods' of reality and morality, like Hannity and Carlson. But it's worth a watch to truly see what we now have.
Speaker Johnson Sits Down with Sean Hannity
Here is an Interview with Mike Johnson, on Fox of course ('exclusively'), a full sit-down history.
I'm posting it for anyone who is truly interesting on "who he is" beyond the many summary lists and articles.
Here he is in his comfort zone, reiterating his positions of budget cutting, G-d, and the wonders of the #GQP 'party'/ #cult
I'm a psychologist, so I view this like an intake interview. Hannity pitches softballs, advances his own 'truths' as if they're a given, to which Johnson whole-heartedly agrees and expands.... To me this is the most revealing portrait of an incoming House Speaker I've ever seen, and I came across this by accident, as I'd never intentionally watch Fox or Hannity... But.... Want to know exactly how MAGA Mike views the world, the country, and his mission? This fills in some blanks and reinforces the 'big picture'.
## ⚠️
IMHO, HRC has presented the most 'woke' (i.e., mindful/sentient) overview of what is a huge #cult, sustained 24/7 by a #media bubble of #disinformation, and 'peer pressure'/support for being immune to #truth if it doesn't comport with the hate/division dog-whistles of the day. What Goebbels did not have was #Fox & Fiends, or Bannon's shadow government of destruction from within via messaging & "events". Or help from within by fellow #traitors lke #GymJordan & #MTG - #MAGA / #DrumpfVirus co-conspirators against #democracy.
Hillary Clinton's Cult 'Deprogramming' Comments Spark MAGA Outrage
The only place I'd differ from Clinton's prescription for "deprogramming" is in her use of "formal" mechanisms, which has predictably given rise to backlash and images of reprogramming camps. (Some have likened more to psychiatric facilities for #MAGA delusionists/cultists). So what then? IMM the only way to approach "deprogramming" of a huge cult of believers in lies & delusion/conspiracy is to allow/facilitate their becoming "woke", as in aware of how they've been lied to, taken for granted, played, and drained of cash through endless grift.
How to approach? The same media machines - ads on Fox, Guttr, OAN, NewsMax... featuring MAGATs who are awakening to the grift and disrespect shown by Lord #TrumpVirus. Cultists distrust/disbelieve both #reality (as sane folk and facts know it to be), and any narrative that gets characterized as "woke"/liberal/extreme/socialist etc. #Justice + #accountability + increasing doses of reality served up by their own = the only viable 'plan' I can see.
Sort of like psychoanalysis, "making the unconscious conscious" while ~ growing ego out of id...
Sorry to bother anyone w/ this (public) post - trying to limit my limited posts, as they tend to loop back with multiple notices...
So, my weekend persusal of "what's happening in #media / #social media brought me to a lot of buzz/promotion re: "Tribel"
Ever hear of it? Over a million users they say, and formidable non-X feed which has banned Musk for life, FWIW.
Meanwhile, still pondering - speaking of #MuskVirus and the family legacy and ethos reminiscent of #TrumpVirus. (are they brothers from another mother?)....
So here's what a post looks like on Tribel. If it works.
"Interesting" (if not slightly nauseating) story about someone usurping the spirit and copyright, appropriating Tom Petty's "Won't Back Down"
My news/analysis catch of the day: Jen Psaki on MSNBC with Eric Swalwell. A-mazing deep breath of #truth and clarity. -
Thin-slice: Psaki played the clip of Swalwell telling 100% and profoundly clear truth to "power", as in #Gym Jordan. Calling him out for defying a subpoena for nearly 500 days as he (Jordan) snorts and prances around his own subpoenas.
Swalwell identified 3 Key Things Dems need to do, publicly and noticeably, in order to share reality and target the widespread lies being spouted via #GQP #disinformation networks like #Fox, #Newsmax, Guttr, OAN, etc. #Truth - not the "opposite platform" of MAGA-mind.
Oh, and George Santos is defending Menendex for his accepting gold bars and other bribes/gratuities. And McCarthy? (gag)...
Good last bit of weekend &/or new week, New Year, &/or good fast.... As long as I'm speaking "publicly" to maybe 10 people! :))
