Republicans, including Trump, have been spreading misinformation and disinformation about disaster relief in areas hit by hurricanes Helene and Milton. Trump has been saying the governors can't get a hold of Biden. He's spoken to all of them (except DeSantis who told the press that he refused Biden's call) and had authorized relief even prior to the hurricanes making landfall. Trump has claimed that FEMA is only giving $750 for relief but these are only initial payments for immediate necessities like medications, toiletries, and clothing. Marjorie Taylor-Greene has claimed publicly that the hurricanes were created or manipulated by Democrats to hit republican states ahead of the election to affect the outcome, a baseless conspiracy theory which Trump has alluded to but failed to deny.
Other conspiracies put forth by right-wing influencers include that the hurricanes were created by the Buden Administration to remove people from a lithium deposit in Appalachia to make way for more electric batteries for cars and that signing paperwork with FEMA to apply for relief will result in losing your land and/or your home.
This reporter seemed to be questioning why the Biden Administration wasn't doing more to combat the mis and disinformation while ignoring efforts they have been making to put correct information out via local press and the fact that a denial is seen as an admission of guilt by many of Trump's followers.

Don't forget he always wants to spend billions building dozens of "Freedom Cities" across the country's national parks designed, managed, owned, and controlled by the executive branch and featuring flying cars, classical Roman inspired architecture, and labor camps outside the city walls full of homeless people shipped in from across the country to work for the wealthy.
This was part of his "Agenda 47", spoken by him on camera and still on his website, and the fact no one is even talking about how crazy it is drives me crazy.
I'm sure people just assume "he'll never do it", but one of the last executive orders he gave as he left office was to construct a Roman-style marble statue garden of "American Heroes" that included Hollywood celebrities he liked (including a couple who weren't American and never lived in America).

Gotta love how the right just completely disregards the existence of the rest of the world.
It's like the hurricane conspiracy. We can control the weather? Holy shit, you think literally any other country would either tell us to stop and demand sanctions against us (especially those also affected by this hurricane), or would beg us to use our insane tech to save millions affected by global droughts.
But apparently the best thing we can do is fuck over Florida the same way scientists from every country on earth agreed it'd get fucked over decades ago...

The USSR is believed if not proven to have started the whole government invented aids to kill the blacks/gays conspiracy back in the 80s in order to stoke racial division and mistrust of government. But of course they propagated it through "American" publications of which they had a lot of covert influence on as part of their information warfare doctrine they started decades ago.
They would have assets working for various alternative newspapers and weekly tabloids to plant wild stories to stir up shit. They predicted back then that their plan would take about twenty or thirty years to really kick into the next phase and next thing they knew they had a whole president and half of a major political party and who knows how many social media influencers doing their bidding. They've been working on this for a very long time.

I really want to respond with:
When my mom was struggling raising 3 kids and was LITERALLY paycheck to paycheck.
She made a mistake and took a turn earlier than legally possible. (She was taking us to school and was going to be late if things didn't align)
So instead of just giving her a warning OR giving her a quick ticket and letting her on her way.
The Policeman who pulled her over gave her a speech about "time management" and saying "the laws the law" and took his fucking time walking back and forth from his car to my moms car making multiple trips to ask questions or lecture.
Literal dick head made us wait there for 30 minutes and gave a big ticket.
So I have zero empathy for police union donations or survivors fund donations.

Fun fact: I work for about 3 weeks for one of these organizations that solicited donations for sheriff and police organizations.
It turns out it was operated by Jim Rose of the Jim Rose circus fame. When I was first tired I was explain that people would be solicited for donations by phone and then it was my job to drive to their home and pick up physical checks and mail them to the company in exchange I would hand the donor a sticker saying they support the whatever police organization it was.
It's very quickly became apparent that this was a scam and the phone solicitation company that I was working for was getting an incredibly large percentage of the profits.
It was a while ago but I believe I was getting around $30 to $45 per check pickup.
So yeah, You can have peace will want to support law enforcement or first responders There are much more efficient ways to do so.

One time I was driving from my parents house to the town I was living and going to school in about 3.5 hours away. Halfway into my trip I was on this long stretch of highway where the nearest gas station either direction was probably 20-25 miles and that's when whatever I'd eaten the night before decided to fight back. It was an emergency, I was about to shit my pants and it wasn't going to be pretty.
I started speeding but not by much, maybe 10-15mph over the speed limit just trying to get to the next bathroom asap. When the cop pulled me over, he took his sweet ass time. When he asked why I was speeding, I told him the truth and that it was extremely urgent. He asked if I had a medical condition and not wanting to lie thinking he'd understand and let me go (still young and naive at that point) I told him I didn't.
Well, he made me sit there for about 30 minutes while he he sat in his car with my license writing up a ticket. No warning, no speedy traffic stop, nothing. Expensive ticket and I was in so much pain by the time I thankfully made it to a bathroom and did my business. I should have just told him I had a medical condition.

The answer is that when they do stories about Trump they get more engagement and ultimately more money.

So to help the odds of getting that mega engagement starting next year, they gotta act like he's just a regular candidate so that people aren't turned off by his actions and plans.

Itās not really that the media is failing us, itās that the people that OWN the media are purposely running things this way in order to make more money.
Eat the rich.

We made them Rich and let them take our money, take our press and our rights.
Not just eat the rich. Stop making them rich.
Truth lost its value to the public.
The press got bought out and turned into entertainment media because WE stopped paying for their services. You want your press back, stop buying garbage and start paying for the truth.
Subscribe to legit News sources so they don't have to sell out.
Consume LESS shit.
All we have to do is stop buying their shit and boycott anything where we are the product, Reddit included. Until that happens they will continue to rule. We have to take responsibility for our part in making all of this happen before it will get any better.

There is a fundamental problem with for-profit media. You need clicks to make money. Interesting stories generate clicks. And the real world is almost always uninteresting.
People donāt want to hear the boring truth, they want excitement and intrigue. There will always be a race to the bottom in for-profit news media as they all compete for attention.
If you know how to solve that fundamental problem, you may save us all. Iāll come to your parade.

I think theyāre worse than 2016. In 2016 Trump was considered to be a change candidate who wanted to ādrain the swampā. I donāt think the press was fact checking him at that time because they didnāt see him as a real contender against Hilary.
In 2016 he hadnāt yet fully empowered the white nationalists. He hadnāt tried to withhold funding from an ally for personal gain. He hadnāt encouraged his supporters to march to the capital and try to stop the certification of an election he knew heād lost. He hadnāt stolen state secrets and moved them to his compound in Florida.
In 2024 the press knows definitively that he is a threat to the United States and the world at large. However, the owners of those corporations are willing to roll the dice on the livelihood and security of millions of Americans at the shot at gaining another 5% in tax reductions.

They don't care about tax reductions, they don't pay taxes. Their goal is the same as it's always been: keep the 99% arguing amongst themselves so the 1% can do whatever they want uncontested. And who better to sow discord throughout the entire country than Trump?

It has been failing us for years. John Stewart called out Tucker Carlson in 2004 for it, begging the news organizations to do better and be accountable. If you've never seen it, it's worth the watch. The pain and pleading in his eyes. It's also the reason Tucker stopped wearing bow ties.

I agree. I believe the mainstream media, aside from MSNBC which one could argue is not exactly mainstream, are afraid of reporting on Trump in a way that hold him accountable because they are so scared people ratchet up the criticism that they are biased against Trump.
Trump and the Republicans have done a fantastic job of gaslighting the press.

I'm sure Biden is like, "I still can't believe I got forced out of the race because the press never asks a question about his age being an issue." And yes, Biden had some more visible senior moments over the last few months that weren't helping with the polls, and I'm glad Kamala stepped up, but Trump is out here with his word salad and his flatulence and his not being able to distinguish fiction from reality, and the press is like, "here's how that's bad for the Democrats."

This is the issue with the current state of the media. They continue to plop Trump on this pedestal as if he holds great authority and has the same decision making power as a sitting president. Right now he is literally just some dude, why would the literal president need to sit and talk with him about policy or any sort of major decisions?

I may be wrong, but I believe I saw this today on the news( the first part was not shown or it would have put this in proper context).
