Leslie Stahl’s interview isn’t a one-off atrocity. It’s just one symptom of the media turning a blind eye to fascism.
In just the last two weeks alone, the mainstream media have refused to recognize the threat posed by the Republican party and its de facto leader, Donald Trump.
First, they based an entire week of reporting and analysis on Donald’s social media post that falsely claimed he was going to be arrested on March 21.
Then, 60 Minutes made the confounding decision to give a platform to insurrectionist and fascist Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The Republican Party has fallen in line behind Donald and, now that indictments against him have been announced, they will stop at nothing to undermine the American people’s faith in the rule of law. Donald’s attacks on social media against NY DA Alvin Bragg have already resulted in an avalanche of death threats.
But just as they did in 2016, the media keep giving Donald millions of dollars worth of air time.
It’s time for the media to take sides—democracy or fascism.
It shouldn’t be that fucking hard.

1. Fox News' @JesseBWatters told millions of viewers that Silicon Valley Bank "donated $74 million to Black Lives Matter."
Similar claims went viral on Twitter
Some "facts" are too good to check
The actual amount that SVB donated to BLM is ZERO

A new conservative nonprofit group scored a $1.6 billion windfall last year via a little-known donor — an extraordinary sum that could give Republicans and their causes a huge financial boost ahead of the midterms, and for years to come nytimes.com/2022/08/22/us/po…

What is Florida Power & Light willing to do to undermine clean energy policies? Meddle in our elections, spy on journalists and lawmakers, fund fake media outlets to smear critics.
FPL is a mafia.

42 billionaires worth $275 billion are supporting Ron DeSantis campaign. Is it any surprise that since DeSantis became governor, Florida has given $5.7 billion from our tax dollars in corporate giveaways and that he campaigned against raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour?

Let’s not forget that Saudi Arabia gave Jared Kushner $2 billion (yes, billion) when he left the White House. But don’t worry—we’re still investigating it.

His campaign manager knew he lost.
His attorney general knew he lost.
His top advisers knew he lost.
His legal team knew he lost.
His daughter knew he lost.
And Trump knew it too.

The conspiracy to illegally keep Trump in office was of course also motivated by his massive fundraising operation. I hope the committee highlights this.

What does a potato roll have to do with the assault on American democracy? The answer is James Martin.
The Pennsylvania bread maker is the largest donor by far to the state’s far-right GOP nominee for governor, Doug Mastriano.
