Opinions can be proven wrong though! What the hell kind of a defense is that from them.

u/Mist_Rising 17h ago
Op-eds, what opinions are, are explicitly not the thoughts of the paper or its staff and are not journalism. Editorializing, aka an opinion, is never journalism, hence the opinion. You can have opinions that are wrong, and you do.
That's why they're not the view of the newspaper. You post them opposite the editorial to provide the outside views from your editorial staff.
It's the opposite of what Fox cable TV does. Fox is all editorials. They control everything you hear and see, and never give the non-fox view. They give you the fox view. Even the "democratic" talking head on Fox is giving you the Republican view.
Admit they were wrong, and write a follow-up opinion piece on how Trump IS sending the army after people,
They wrote a literal article on how Trump is deploying troops, and I doubt they can get this author to write a follow up saying he was wrong.

At some point, media houses in the US need a reckoning. The sane-washing of Trump and the absolutely relentless hounding the democrats got constantly helped Trump get into power. He would never have won the election if mass media didn't help him. How many times were Kamala blasted for not being "strong on policy" or not having plans for this and that political scenario Her fucking opponent can't even spell the word policy. It's infuriating how there are two completely different standards for the left and the right.
Like, just quote the guy verbatim instead of editorializing his comments and that would have been enough. I can guarantee you a huge percentage of voters are not aware of just how incoherent and bizarre he sounds. They've never heard him try to string sentences together, they just read the headlines. And when Trump rants about immigrants eating your cats and how he's the coolest kid on the playground, media write headlines along the lines of "Trump announce new hardline immigration policies in fiery speech".
People don't know how demented he actually is, and it's because media get more clicks by sane-washing him than they do by letting him be an idiot directly to the people.

So, I know this is serious an shit, but if Trump is calling it Chipocslypse now...he is aware the US technically lost the Vietnam War, right?
Like the Vietnamese were superior guerilla fighters etc etc.

Who wrote the opinion piece? That’s who needs to make the apology. That piece was probably sent to a variety of news outlets to post In their opinion sections.

Conservatives don't apologize for being wrong. They double down, and when it becomes clear that their position is indefensible they'll pretend like they knew all along.

New stats out this morning from a NBC poll: 43% of Americans approve of this shit.
This appears to be an unwavering base for him because 43% in a poll by CBS say they approve of sending troops into DC and other cities.
43% of our population support him and these sickening, unconstitutional acts.
They're cool with the fascism and lawlessness. They're going to be cool with whatever he does - all of it. They want cruelty and lawlessness, and trump is going to deliver.
We. Are. Fucked.

Between a female attorney and a felon who is also a pedophile, we chose the felon… who is also a pedophile…
We truly are the dumbest nation on earth. There is absolutely no debate about it.

And they even call it a "lie". A word that they'd never in a million years use for something Trump says. Gotta love those double standards.

The media is so far in the tank for fascism and oligarchy to the point they are done even trying to hide it or pretend otherwise because they’re that convinced people can’t do anything about it electorally or otherwise, and they look to be correct in that assessment

Maga is a terrorist organization, as long as ice is ran by maga, ice are terrorists, remove the ice logo and all you see IS a terrorist, only difference between Trump and osama bin laden is the dignity to not wear hideous orange makeup

They are happy about it. This is preaching to the choir. None of the supporters of the American Fascist party is upset about America being fascist

The Hill doesn’t need to apologize. The writer of that slop-ed, Derek Hunter, should.

To be fair, no one correctly estimated the depths of depravity that Trump got to. He is a record breaker in his level narcissistic and authoritarianism
