I'm sure this will surprise no one, but [View all]

CNN and MSNBC are continuing to sanitize the pure lunacy of both trump and musk just as they did during the election. I tuned in this morning for the first time in weeks and they are busy explaining what MAGA is up to as if there is some grand plan.

And just as they ignored the completely deranged tweets from trump during the election, they are not covering the one from musk where he tells other Magas to @@## themselves in the face. There is no justification for ignoring this considering the power this person has. No journalistic reason to ignore it and no moral reason either.

I am even more resolved to not watch them again. Their coverage is worse than useless and he hasn't even taken office yet.
