The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

What a pathetic comparison with the brilliant Jen Psaki. Leavitt sounds like a not-so-bright teenager. But she does one thing well: spew lies for Trump.

Trump’s State Media: Propagandists Replace Journalists

What Happened: Trump has filled the White House press corps with far-right influencers while sidelining traditional media. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt openly targets legacy outlets, and the regime barred the AP from briefings for refusing to adopt Trump’s preferred terminology.

Why It Matters: Trump is manufacturing a pro-regime media bubble, ensuring only flattering coverage while blocking critical reporting—an authoritarian tactic to control public discourse.
