Byline Supplement Report - ‘The Biggest Loser’
Just the facts - and a bit of sass - reveal Trump’s inevitable doom
In 2016, the day after the November 8 upset, I wrote about corporate media’s fail in reporting the presidential coup as if it was legit.
I noted that at least Trump’s very long tie lurked below the fold in the New York Times coverage. At least that.
I have spent the better part of seven years offering fact-based evidence of the corruption of Trump and the illegitimacy of the Trump administration and the ongoing Russian military attacks on our country and democratic nations.
Today is a milestone.
My report in Byline Supplement lays out the facts of Trump’s demise - punching through every false narrative to reveal a radioactive geek.
Here is an excerpt:
In 2023, judging by the outsized coverage of the disgraced, twice impeached, now criminally arrested former reality TV performer, it’s almost like corporate media is sad to see him go.
Comedian Michelle Wolf who roasted the Trump administration at the 2018 White House Correspondents’ Dinner was correct when she accused the media of being hopelessly addicted to Trump. Even those who try to look away, still gawk at the toxic trainwreck of an increasingly radioactive geek.
Now, even as he was exiled to his own propaganda platform, the ironically named Truth Social, his every cruel all cap-utterance is still documented as if somewhere, in some newsroom, editors still await the presidential pivot.
Despite his staggering number of legal entanglements and the fact that his speeches embody the fascist playbook chapter and verse, the media continue to prop up the metaphorical ‘corpse’ like a marathon viewing of Weekend At Bernie’s, an American black comedy where a deceased mobster is the main star.
The disgraced Fox News network seats him opposite anchors whose text messages revealed a shared antipathy toward him. And yet the anchors sit there docile, as Trump bleats in a series of bizarro interviews where he fangirls dictators and tells fairytales of tears that were never shed by government employees when he was fingerprinted.
All key metrics are trending downward…
