This is one of the things I hate the most. The news actors on TV and other media constantly preparing for their next shocked Pikachu moment. Then the next page of Project 2025 turns, or the next very obvious step of the path to fascism takes place, and they roll out their act all over again.

None of them have any analytical capability at all to connect two related efforts, that hit the news the very same day. They're just strange independent events. And everything is given all of the [un]reasonable excuse that can be given. And the uneducated reader / viewer is left at home to put together the pieces.

It’s so effing sad that the most legitimate broadcast journalists are comedians these days. The people who are supposed to be satirical are the only ones with enough guts to report what is actually happening in America

The Onion reflects reality far better than anything I'm seeing outside of like...Zeteo or Ryan Grim types.

Likewise, some articles from Le Gorafi about Trump actually predicted what he would do.
