Sometimes The Press Fails

by

Article in FAIR by Janine Jackson, 11/26/25

Headline:  “Press Remembers Oldest Survivor of Tulsa Massacre—But Not Press’s Role in Massacre”

“. . .As Joe Torres (Free Press, 5/27/21), co-author of News for All the People: The Epic Story of Race and the American Media, recounted, the local white-owned press didn’t just fuel the massacre; it also helped cover it up. The other main local paper, the Tulsa World, provided the white narrative of the massacre in its headline (6/1/1921) the next day: ‘Two Whites Dead in Race Riot.’. . .”

Headline:  “Right-wing media praise Trump’s made-up excuses for war against Venezuela”

Subhead:  “Trump massively inflated threat from Venezuelan “narco-terrorists” smuggling fentanyl into the US”

“President Donald Trump and right-wing media have been quick to cite fentanyl interdiction as the supposed justification for the administration’s likely illegal strikes against vessels in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, which they have blamed on so-called “narco-terrorists” tied to the regime of President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela. But reporting has shown the Trump administration’s excuses are built on lies. . .”

Watch TV – Send Troops

Article in ProPublica by Rob Davis, 11/12/25

Headline: ” ‘Riots Raging’: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops”

Subhead: “After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of ‘Portland rioters’ routinely instigating violence was misleading.”

“When President Donald Trump told reporters on Sept. 5 he’d started looking at sending the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, he said it was because of something he saw on television.

“He said the city was being destroyed by paid agitators. ‘What they’ve done to that place, it’s like living in hell,’ he said, a comment that became an internet meme as some Portland residents juxtaposed it with tranquil images of the city. . .”

Frenemies in the Media

Headline:  “Following Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes, fault lines have emerged as right-wing media battle over the future of MAGA”

Subhead:  “Some in MAGA media have tried to distance their movement from Fuentes and his ideas while others have suggested the white nationalist streamer is ‘mainstream now’ “

“Tucker Carlson’s friendly interview with white nationalist and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes has precipitated a right-wing media struggle over the future of the MAGA movement.

“While many traditional right-wing media figures criticized Carlson for platforming Fuentes and not pushing back strongly enough on his rhetoric, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts posted in support of Carlson, calling the former Fox host’s detractors a ‘venomous coalition” and Carlson a “close friend” to The Heritage Foundation. . .”

Rt. Wing & Media Enemies

Article in AlterNet by Jon Stoehr, 11/5/25

Headline:  “Democratic elites fall for lies from Trump and the right-wing media complex”

“. . .to Donald Trump. All Democrats, all liberals, all progressives, all leftists, and all socialists, democratic and otherwise, are the name. They are radical Marxist anarchist communists or whatever word salad pops into his soupy brain. There are no enemies to his right. There is nothing but enemies to his left. Does he respect his enemies enough to speak truthfully about them?

“No, he lies. . . .”

Article in The New Republic by Michael Tomasky, 11/3/25

Headline:  “The Washington Post Has Become Right-Wing Even Faster Than I Thought”

Subhead:  “It’s not going to happen. It’s happening: The mainstream media is becoming right-wing. What are wealthy liberals going to do about it?”

“I almost wrote a column about The Washington Post’s new but increasingly clear editorial slant last week after I read the editorial headlined ‘In defense of the White House ballroom.‘ That’s the kind of headline, opening with ‘in defense of,’ that might be tongue-in-cheek; a bit catty. But no, it was a dull, moronic, straightforward defense of the president of the United States crushing to dust one-third of a building of singular historic importance that is owned by the American people, and doing so while not merely ignoring but saying a colossal fuck you to the rules and procedures that normally govern such changes. . .”

Subhead:  “The ICE detention of Sami Hamdi closely follows the deportation of Mario Guevara.”

“Hamdi’s arrest was first announced by Laura Loomer, the far-right anti-Muslim troll with close ties to the Trump administration, via a triumphant post on X with the word ‘SCOOP’ and a siren emoji: ‘As a direct result of Amy [Mekelburg]’s report and my relentless pressure on the State Department and Department of Homeland Security, US officials have now moved to take action against Hamdi’s visa status and his continued presence in this country’. . .”
