This Month's Golden Quisling goes to APPLE for pulling the ICEBLOCK app that tracked illegal non special agents making arrests against federal state and local law. This award is also unique because its the first of our receipients who can be prosecuted for an actual war crime by providing actual material assistance to war criminals.
Way to go Tim Cook!
This week's award would normally go to CBS choice of a Maga Nazi to run their war room, but that would be double dipping and we're not George Castanza. Nor are we giving it to the runner up of Virginia media making a big deal about anti cop tweets made for the Democratic candidate for AG while not mentioning that his opponent routinely talks about shooting democrats.
No, CBS is the suprise winner for an entirely DIFFERENT reason.
CBS’s coverage of the Hegseth meeting stands out as an object lesson in how not to report on an authoritarian stunt. Their live-updates page essentially laundered Hegseth’s “War Department” rebrand by putting it in bold headlines and repeated updates while tucking the legal caveat—that Congress would need to approve—deep in the copy. The write-up also parroted Trump’s most alarming lines, such as calling America’s cities “training grounds” for the military and warning generals “there goes your rank,” without any serious contextualization about Posse Comitatus or the dangers of domestic deployment. Even Trump’s trillion-dollar spending promise was printed without a reality check. The effect was stenography, not journalism: amplifying propaganda while starving readers of the critical perspective they would need to understand just how extreme and dangerous the spectacle really was. 【web†source】
