I know this is a socialist idea

But what if

I know this will sound crazy

All editors publish an Epstein story in the same week.

Like actual solidarity between journalists as comrades. Because this isn’t just about reporting on politics. Its about defending what little you have left of a country from a deranged lunatic that will not stop until we stop him or he’s dead.

Let’s see which country he’ll nuke then.

Oh noes, working together is such a commie thing to do!

I like idea!

Honestly, news organizations should just double down on criticizing Trump. What is he gonna do? Ban them all until he sits there alone with Fox News and a couple of right-wing bloggers? If that happens, and Fox News is suddenly the most reputable news organization in the room, I conjecture that even they would eventually clash with Trump over something, at which point even the dumbest of his supporters will have to realize that the problem isn't the news organizations but Trump's pathetic little ego.

Edit: I may be underestimating how dumb some of his supporters are, but here goes my half-baked take.

Just so you know. Newscorp owns both Fox News and WSJ…

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

While true it's largely irrelevant, just like how a handful of cooperations own most food companies. Most folks don't know that so the perception isn't that Newscorp was fucked over but the WSJ was fucked over. When it comes to so called strongmen like Trump and more specifically his cult of personality the perception of the situation is all that matters.

That's not fear, that's vindictive authoritarian asshole behavior. Should also bring them to court for first amendment violations, I thought you couldn't suffer punishment from the government over your speech?

... unless it's speaking positive about Palestine of course. Then it's straight to the gulags....

Not like this regime is following the constitution or laws anyway.

[–] minkymunkey_7_7@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And everybody in Congress is fine with all the violations too.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yep. Vote them all out. Regardless of party

What a little bitch

The ouroboros of social media garbage being thrown at me here would be annoying even if I wasn't actively trying to filter out US news from my feeds.

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'm gonna screenshot this Lemmy post of a Bluesky post of a twitter post and post it to Piefed.

pedophiles are vindictive

They already clashed, when they called the 2020 election for Biden.

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

no, it really isn't.

That is what a temper tantrum looks like.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you think he shit his pants during the tantrum?

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well, he is wearing diapers for a reason..

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Waaa crybaby!

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

His buddy Jeff must be rolling over in his ditch.

The paedophile is shaking in his boots. good! 🤘 👍

now what if every journalist banded together and simultaneously reported the same thing? like with Trump kicking out that person who showed a photo of him an Epstein together at a recent speech, what if hundreds or even thousands got together and did it all at once? it becomes much harder to bat tons of people away quickly compared to just one or two

This is what fascism looks like.
