Media is dying

Trump rewrites history. Authoritarians usually do, to justify their crimes. Hence the Big Lie. Hence, he cannot very well allow objective looks at the 1/6/21 attack on the capital. It’s shows like this that anger Trump. I’m sure this is no news flash to anybody here, we have to know by now that Trump does not suffer dissent well. Or at all. Anybody who does not think like Trump is an enemy of the people. Anybody who disagrees, even on inconsequential things, like whether Alabama was included in a hurricane warning(Sharpiegate) is “the enemy within”. If we had a technology that detected “wrong thoughts”, he’d use it. Donald Trump would go far beyond Chinese social credits if he was able.

But, we cannot have this. We simply cannot have truthful histories.

Truth is Trump’s #1 enemy.

American Insurrection | FRONTLINE | PBS | Official Site | Documentary Series

Watch FRONTLINE, ProPublica and Berkeley Journalism’s Investigative Reporting Program’s documentary on how far-right extremist groups evolved from the 2017 Charlottesville rally to the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol assault.
www.pbs.org

For several years, FRONTLINE has collaborated with ProPublica to investigate the rise of extremism in America. In the aftermath of the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol, FRONTLINE, ProPublica and Berkeley Journalism’s Investigative Reporting Program teamed up to examine how far-right extremist groups had evolved in the wake of the deadly 2017 Charlottesville rally — and the threat they posed.

An updated version of the documentary airing Jan. 4, 2022, examines the latest developments and where the movement may be headed a year after the attack on the Capitol.
 
As is obvious by now, Trump is engaged in a war against any media outlet that dares to post Truth. Take his EO against PBS. I can easily point to one PBS program Trump would be enraged against: Frontline. The reason? Frontline examines facts, and documents facts. The program’s examination of the January 6, 2021 attack on the People’s House is a perfect example of what Trump insists MUST be removed: truth in history. Only an alternative history, a FAKE history, is acceptable under a dictator’s rule. There will be no exceptions.

The attack on Jan. 6 was the result of the 2020 election being stolen by Trump. That is a lie. And it is a lie that must stand as “fact” in Trump’s world. Think about that, if only for a second: the president will accept nothing less than bald face lies in describing recent American history.

Truth will be attacked, and expunged! In “most” real worlds, that’s usually seen as a problem, lolol…In an authoritarian fascist model, it’s a must: attack the truth at all costs.

‘60 Minutes’ Schedules Another Segment On Trump: His Targeting Of Law Firms

The show's correspondent Scott Pelley spoke out about corporate interference earlier this week.

CBS News’ 60 Minutes plans to air a segment on Sunday about Donald Trump‘s targeting of law firms with his executive orders, the latest sign that the show has not backed way from reporting on the president despite a lawsuit and concerns of corporate interference.

The show’s description of the segment is, “On the campaign trail, President Trump vowed to wield the power of the presidency to go after his perceived enemies. Now in the White House, Trump is using executive orders to target some of the biggest law firms in the country that he accuses of “weaponizing” the justice system against him.”

Correspondent Scott Pelley is reporting the story. On Sunday, he closed out the show by noting the departure of the show’s executive producer, Bill Owens, and calling out CBS’s corporate parent, Paramount Global.

“Bill made sure they were accurate and fair,” Pelley told viewers. “He was tough that way, but our parent company Paramount is trying to complete a merger. The Trump administration must approve it. Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways. None of our stories has been blocked, but Bill felt he had lost the independence that honest journalism requires.”

Trump has attacked the show over previous segments since he took office. Attorneys for CBS and Trump’s team have reportedly started mediation to try to resolve the president’s $20 billion lawsuit against the network over the way that 60 Minutes edited an interview with Kamala Harris last fall. The settlement discussions have taken place as Paramount Global seeks approval of its merger with Skydance.

The Harris segment, which ran in October, received a News and Documentary Emmy nomination earlier today for outstanding edited interview.

In explaining Owens departure to viewers, Pelley suggested that his resignation was meant to send a message about corporate interference in one of the network’s top shows and the crown jewel of television news magazines. Per the Times, Owens told staffers that altering the show’s independence was a “slippery slope.”

Trump has said that he is asking for “a lot” to settle the lawsuit. On Wednesday, he lashed out not just at the show, but The New York Times over its reporting that “legal experts have called the lawsuit baseless.” Trump called his case against CBS “a true winner.”
