Lawrence: 'Stupidest' candidate Trump did not answer reporters' questions

With the major events of the 2024 general election and Trump’s dismaying popularity with his grifted, lied-to, and defrauded followers, I'm more upset than ever with the media.

Right-wing Republicans in Congress, including Senator McConnell, have gained substantial traction since 2008, and Project 2025, by extension, has been able to develop unfettered. Why? Because journalists have not been doing their jobs informing Americans about significant political developments and calling-out Republican lies (since 2008).

Ample air and print time is given to Trump, a seditious wannabe dictator, who has been indicted and/or convicted for serious felony crimes. But on Trump’s destructive Project 2025 intentions, corporate media had been almost silent until early July 2024. If elected POTUS, Trump’s intention is to implement the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 (overview) to undermine our democratic republic, disregard the rule of law, bypass, reconstrue, or terminate the U.S. Constitution, gut the EPA and NOAA, and reject climate science, among many other heretical goals.

What on earth is the matter with these so-called journalists? Why are they effectively silent? Do they not see that history is starting to repeat itself? Except this time, it's not Germany and Hitler; it's the U.S.A. and Trump.

Donald Trump rambled and lied for over an hour without any follow up questions or fact-checking [from reporters]. MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell’s observations (25 minute video).

The media has yet to turn on the political tsunami-sirens, but they should be turned-on full volume.

At the same time, corporate media fails to report on Biden-Harris administration's many successes (and Harris’ significant contribution thereof), despite congressional and SCOTUS’ right-wing Republican's obstruction. Moreover, the media fails to effectively report the destructive consequences of this long-term obstruction on all of us Americans. But corporate media zealously reports Biden's latest gaffs or protests against him and Harris’ laughs, while saying little about Trump being, in my opinion, a mental cripple and emotionally retarded, if not ill—certainly the media doesn’t question whether Trump is qualified to be POTUS.

The political tsunami-sirens are off, but the corporate media is making a lot of noise about American politics that are essentially inconsequential.

Stop Project 2025. Save our freedoms. Vote for Harris-Walz and Democrats, state and federal, up and down ballot.
