Why the ---- isn't TSF depicting the Obamas as apes bigger news?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

F--- that morbidly obese octogenarian and anybody that looks like him

[Chasstev365]

1. Because 90 % of our media is owned by 6 rightwing corporate entities

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Because MAGA will follow their leader /nt

[malaise]

3. Embarrassment from the corporate media owners and hacks

who gave him cover for decades and continue to trivialize his blatent racist, woman-hating world view.

[Blue Full Moon]

4. News outlets owned by billionaires

5. Trump was probably hoping it would be

Or his handlers who posted it

They'd rather people were screaming he's a racist rather than a pedophile

[jls4561]

7. Racist pedophile low IQ low class grifter.

Shouldn’t that be under his official portrait?

[EdmondDantes_]

6. I assume because there's a certain level of built in acceptance that he says horrible things

I don't find it more offensive than his quiet piggy, or bleeding out of her wherever, or making fun of a disabled reporter. Note, I'm not saying it's not offensive, but he's so coarsened the level of "acceptable" garbage that it becomes hard to get repeatedly upset every time he says something hideous.

[RockRaven]

8. All norms have been destroyed.

[JCMach1]

13. Exactly picking an outrage would almost be a luxury

When it is literally pick an atrocity for the day.

[Johnny2X2X]

9. I too thought this would be headline news

It's not because the corporate media supports Trump and his war on working people. The billionaire got tired of bleeding working people a little bit at a time and selected Trump to take everything we have all at once.

And make no mistake, they're coming for everything you have. Your homes as they want workers to rent from the rich. Your retirement as they want workers to work until they drop dead. Your healthcare as they want workers to live in fear. And your rights as they need to control the workers.

10. Why?

Jeff Bezos is laying of thousands of people and it is rippling through commerce, billionaires own our airwaves and print media. Trump being trump is not news, it’s just the way it is.

[highplainsdem]

11. I just googled

Obamas Trump

and immediately saw stories about that disgusting racist video from:

ABC
CBS
NBC
CNN
MS NOW
CNBC
NYT
Washington Post
LA Times
NPR
Reuters
The Times (UK)
BBC
The Guardian
Axios
The Hill
Fox
CBC
ABC Australia (not part of US ABC)
Forbes
Sky
USA Today
Deadline
Rolling.Stone

and I'm sure other news outlets covered it as well.

[maxsolomon]

14. Yes but why isn't it a bigger deal?

why aren't the headlines LARGER?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. It should lead on all the evening news shows.

[MineralMan]

15. That's the pattern. Whenever someone complains that the media

are not covering some story, Google shows you that it has done so. They did cover it. Maybe someone who complained didn't look to see, and just ASSumed.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. Three major developing stories on CNN for the 1:00 P.M. hour

No mention of Trump's racist attack on the Obamas. I submit this oduous act isn't getting nearly the attention it warrants.

[MineralMan]

19. The issue for the media is that to cover it, they'd have to show the image.

They don't want to show an image depicting the Obama's as apes. So, they'll just talk about it, but it's not a good story to describe a picture but not show it. And that's why you're not going to see it on your TV today.

I'd show it, with a bunch of caveats, but most media won't.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. I belive they just showed it on MSNBC.

[MineralMan]

21. Yeah, MSNOW is pretty bold about such things.

Thank goodness.

[maxsolomon]

12. 1. it just happened last night. it's barely noon on the east coast.

2. MFer SHARED someone else's TS post - that will be the deflection. he didn't post "the Obamas are apes".
3. Karoline Leavitt has already responded to questions about it with typical gaslighting.
4. we expect this kind of shit from MFer. it is just another outrage in an unceasing shitstorm of outrage - which is part of the MFer admin's media technique. when everything is an outrage, no one outrage can stand out.

I could go on.
