#Media watching today… on the election/campaign narrative

Interesting story beyond the screaming and spinning:

New Trump-Influenced GOP Platform Tees Up Convention Conflict Over Abortion, Gun Rights, Gay Marriage

Vice President Pence is the most prominent Republican to express dissatisfaction with the new proposed Republican platform.

I was curious about the rep/cred of the New York Sun (founded 2002), which has been sending me (unsolicited) daily ‘news’ dispatches of late. My impression has been (1) nice; free, no paywall (2) generally leaning towards fact (3) seemingly hewing right across the narrative. Seems I was close, according to mediabiasfactcheck.org

Today’s email headlined “‘Sad and Frustrated’ House Democrats in Disarray After Meeting on Biden’s Candidacy Fails To Reach Consensus” … Okay, there’s a basis for this, though IMM reflecting reinforcement of a meme/narrative. But not “news” for me.
This, however was/is interesting to me, found on their main page when I followed their email link. OK, will endure them for now.

Hm, wonder what VP J.D. Vance of the Trump/Vance ticket thinks? (Guessing #TrumpVirus likes the ‘optics’ of “Trump/Vance”)
I could be wrong though, as “Trump/Greene” has a certain ring (a ding ding) to it.

Project 2025 is the GOP’s version of “Mein Kampf”—and it’s 100% Trump’s vision

Flash forward to 2024. We are confronted with Donald Trump--an aspiring authoritarian--who like Hitler led a failed coup but then pivoted to use democracy to destroy the Republic. And like with Mein Kampf in the 1930’s, today we are faced with an equally sinister political manifesto called, “Project 2025.” It’s formal name, though, should be “Donald Trump’s Project 2025” because everything about it is Trump and MAGA.

Mark Ruffalo slams US right-wing Project 2025, gets slammed right back for calling it Sharia Law

Outraged social media users denounced the actor’s Islamophobic analogy

"Project 2025 is not a game.

It's white Christian nationalism. It is the Sharia Law of the "Christian" crazy people who aren't Christian at all but want to control every aspect of your life through their narrow and exclusionary interpretation of Christ's egalitarian, inclusive, and kindly teachings. Don't be fooled by Project 2025's extremist and perverse ideology. Trump is bringing it to all our lives: abortion, LGBTQIA+ rights, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, freedom of education, and equality between the races and genders-GONE.

Forced birth and forced religion. Trump's American Taliban."
