They’re not reporting his atrocities, they’re whitewashing them, and we should absolutely call that out as complicity.

I agree with that but that’s not generally the criticism leveled at the media for their coverage of Trump’s awful and outrageous statements.

Basically you’re saying the media should cover Trump more and more critically. OP’s comic is suggesting that the media is blame for giving Trump coverage, for reacting to Trump.

I wish we could purge this idiotic nonsense.

The media reporting on the awful outrageous things didn’t elect Trump. The voters who voted for Trump elected Trump.

It’s news when Trump says awful outrageous things and they should be covered more, not less.

Otherwise you end up ‘obeying in advance.’

Fucking shithead morons still blaming the media instead of Trump and Trump’s voters. Stop it.
