Today's Tiedrich rant: why does the press keep wasting our time on absurd bullshit?



Link: https://www.jefftiedrich.com/p/why-does-the-press-keep-wasting-our

in just two months, the most consequential election of our lifetime will take place — democracy vs fascism — and the worthless scribblers of the corporate-controlled media have been working overtime to distract and confuse us with the most inconsequential drivel imaginable.

did Kamala really work at McDonalds? does Tim Walz really have a dog? these are the inane rabbit holes the press expects us to follow them down.

meanwhile, the actual fabulist in the race — Donny Convict — is making up a dozen new whoppers every day. here’s the latest doozie: there are now six states — including Tim Walz’s hellish dystopia of Minnesota — where it’s legal to kill a newborn baby after it’s born.

it’s such an easily-smacked-down lie — killing a baby is a crime called murder, which I don’t know if you’ve heard, but murder is already against the law in all fifty states — but the press can’t be bothered to fact-check Donny. they’re too busy focusing on nonsense.

Oooh, the sarcasm is strong with Jeff Tiedrich today. He's got some great zingers on the crappy job the corporate-controlled media is doing, failing to fact-check any of Chump's lies. But at the same time they're nitpicking over whether Tim Walz was formerly a football coach or an assistant football coach.

Please read the rest on his daily blog, "Everyone is entitled to my own opinion."
