It is genuinely bizarre that we’ve become acclimatized to right wingers throwing a tantrum every time a black person (particularly a black woman) is cast in something, but are also supposed to pretend that this is not racism but related to some other substantive concern.
Cecilia Vega says she was pressured by Bari Weiss and other CBS execs to include misinformation and political bias in reporting that aired this year.
"Never in my career, until now, have I felt that those edits, that those suggestions, came from a place of misinformation or politics."
The legacy media sat there while Trump lied about the past elections and "joked" about running again in 2028.
They did not boo.
They did not walk out.
They just sat there and ate their dinner.

Trump is not only using the presidency to make decisions that boost his portfolio. His media company is also planning to sell insider access to his market-moving Truth Social posts.
I'd say this is a conflict of interest but it should be clear by now that Trump isn't conflicted about any of this.
Pres Trump’s plan to charge for early access to his pronouncements on his truth social company should be illegal. The information he releases is not his personal property. It belongs to the people. He has no right to sell and profit from it.

Media keeps saying there’s no evidence of “widespread” voter fraud in the 2020
election. But I don’t believe they have found enough evidence of fraud to overturn the results of even one of the 176k voting precincts in the US. So there’s just
really no evidence of fraud.

1. On March 11, Trump toured a Thermo Fisher Scientific facility in Ohio and repeatedly praised the company.
On *the same day* Trump bought between $15,000 and $50,000 of Thermo Fisher stock.
The purchase was "UNSOLICITED," meaning it was requested by the customer, not recommended by an advisor.
Incredible- Trump's $2 billion taxpayer-subsidized slush fund comes with a legal disclaimer that basically says "we are not responsible for any crimes committed with this money"
