The media is also avoiding reporting about all the parts of the rightwing plan.
They are as follow:
1-Argue that Article 2 of the Constitution gives the president power to do whatever he wants.

2-Fire the civil service and replace it with Trump loyalists.
3-Immediately implement the insurrection act and use the military to fight protesters.
4-Use the DoJ to target critics
5-Weaken the election security agency
6-Reject climate change
7-Remove all LGBTQ+ protections

8-Bring the Bible into government
The media is avoiding it…like all the media cited in this post? Or the NY Times article today discussing many of the points in those articles? Or the OP article? I’m so tired of news outlets reporting on news outlets. The news isn’t news, I want actual news about events.
Like I had to include that many different outlets in order to provide a full picture. FYI, APNews reported about this in late August. The fact that the NYT is telling you about it this week means that something very wrong occurred for two months while they didn’t.
The rightwing having a 1000-page guide to their overthrow of the country is what I would call the most important event of this year on US soil.
Do you want to only be told about the climate change rejection and not the other plans? That’s what’s fucked up.
Not all the media is giving him a “free pass.” I’ve read several articles about him going full nutjob and totally losing it. Of course a person only has to hear him speak once to know he’s off his rocker - and we’ve had several years of his s#it being shoveled in our direction.
Back in my day a weird yell was enough to kill your run.
Just a yeeaaoowww and you’re done. Now, if you’re Trump and you are literally strangling someone to the point that they make that sound, you’re presidential material because “that person getting choked was probably a democrat pedophile communist so he deserves it.”
That yell was glorious
The argument isn’t that they aren’t covering it, it’s that they covered it and haven’t continued reporting it over and over again.
But it happened 4 days ago, and as I search right now there are articles from the New York Times, USA Today, NBC News, CNN, The Hill, all from the last 24hrs. They ARE still covering it.
And the articles mostly call it out as echoing Nazi language, I don’t see how you could claim that they aren’t covering it negatively enough either.
There is just nothing to this complaint.
Trump saying that out loud happened 4 days ago. This plan is not new this week. There are bits and pieces of new coverage going back a couple months.
The road to Trumps authoritarian America will be paved with lenient judges and federal agencies that don’t enforce laws against him.
Course it did, they haven’t learned that “Fairness” is a scam when you’ve got a bad faith agent
So what we’re learning here is not only did unregulated free speech fail (rise of Nazism, proliferation of CP on 4Chan and 8Kun) but that unregukated free press has also failed miserably (serving only capitalism and not at all for public good).
Nice job, Reagan and Clinton.
