I know this is obvious when you think about it but we don’t think about it enough: fascists have to cow & persecute decent journalists to prevent them from reporting exactly what they, the fascists, are doing. Fascist-adjacent ‘journalists’ help by insisting that we shouldn’t call fascists facsists.

And got his arse handed back to him. You’d think our ‘patriotic’ media would go nuts. But no. Some quiet mumbling. Beyond feeble.
