Your (wise) words will fall on deaf ears...

Shotgun tariffs. Can be aimed in a general direction with little knowledge or training.

Well said. Your informed and informative comment was well received by the main anti-Trump channel in the US @meidastouch.com

I'd go broader and advise journalists that they don't have to - and probably shouldn't - accept the premise or framing of *anything* that dribbles from Trump's weird little pursed lips.

Unfortunately, journalists in the USA has been rebranded as trumps spokes persons

See for yourselves.

Thick as mince

Excellent point THANK YOU! Stop using his 'language' 🍁🛶❤️💙💚🔬⚖️🌻🌻🌻✊

Trump doesn't know what reciprocal means. Unfortunately, many journalists do not either.

Yep. He's mentioned GST or VAT as a reason for applying tariffs and *they're taxes on everything, no matter where it is produced*. The level of idiocy here - fueled by a supine media - is insane

asking journalists not to parrot everything a politician says?

And this cynical "liberation day" framing gets also needlessly repeated everywhere :(

I am sure journalists and everyone else will ask for the economic impact assessments that they will have done. I mean, you wouldn't be stupid enough to just pick a figure without knowing what the direct and indirect impact would be?

And pictures mean more words.

Just means they'll charge you more for the same stuff. They will probably raise the price of the Dumpster's God Bless America Bible, made in China and blame the tariffs.

They simply don’t deserve the title of ‘journalist’ if they’re just parroting propaganda.
