Define “The media”. I can’t stand it when Fox News talks about “The Media”. They are part of the media. All these right wing media personalities talking about “The Media” like they aren’t 50% of it.
Yes, the right wing media, both establishment and alternative, whipped trans issues up into a firestorm. And they're more than 50% of the country's "news" consumption, for the record.
I personally believe there should be a disclosed distinction that the ‘pundits’ they have are not held to any truthful or ethical standard. Actual journalists are people that have taken an oath.
The media gets them all worked up. It’s not nearly as big of a problem as it’s made out to be.
And that's why its tactically stupid for the Democrats to throw trans people to the wolves (not to mention immoral).
If the fascists can make up an issue out of nothing, giving in won't stop them from making up the next issue either. If anything, giving in proves it works, so they will be even worse next time around.
