Liberal Outlets Sell Panic, Not News, Against Trump
This piece uses extreme hyperbole, vulgar insults, and ad hominem attacks (e.g., 'tiny dick,' 'grotesque squirrel') to generate maximum emotional distress and eliminate any pretense of objective political commentary. The narrative strategically links Trump's easily mockable narcissism to broader, more serious policy changes (like dismantling climate science or cutting health grants) to keep the progressive base in a state of high alarm for fundraising purposes.
Current Stance: Engaging in prolonged, vulgar, sensationalist character assassination focused on a physical exhibit (the plaques) and personal insults ('tiny dick', 'Piggy').
Past Stance (Stated in intro): Claiming to 'continue covering the stories and amplifying the voices that the corporate media never will.'
The contradiction: This 'anti-corporate' media outlet perfectly mimics the corporate media's worst tendencies by substituting juvenile tabloid sensationalism for policy analysis.
Summary
The article is a political diatribe condemning Donald Trump's addition of self-serving bronze plaques to a 'Presidential Walk of Fame.' It treats this petty act as proof of fascism, linking it to various policy initiatives by his allies (Pam Bondi proposing surveillance of 'anti-capitalists,' RFK Jr. cutting health grants, and Stephen Miller pushing an 'America First' nationalist agenda). The tone is overwhelmingly sensationalist, using profane insults and historical comparisons (Nero, Mein Kampf) to categorize Trump as an existential threat.
