Exaggerated Fantasies, Missing Facts

Steve Schmidt’s article is a masterclass in delusional Trump hysteria. Imagining himself taunting Trump in a grimy courthouse, Schmidt ignores the bigger picture: a crumbling liberal narrative. Instead of offering facts, he dives into a melodramatic fantasy, conveniently labeling the entire GOP as deranged extremists. This isn’t journalism; it’s a Hollywood script. He's right about CNN’s Kasie Hunt playing defense for her “colleague” highlights how the media circle the wagons around their own, sacrificing truth for team loyalty. It just rarely happens in opposition to his views.

The GOP's addiction to lies is fracturing democracy.

Steve Schmidt paints a grim picture of Trump's downfall, likening the GOP's frantic defense to "mass psychosis." As CNN's Kasie Hunt shields a colleague's misleading defense of Trump, the network's complicity in spreading misinformation is highlighted. This underscores the elite's commitment to truth manipulation, deepening America's democratic crisis. Progressive activists must stay vigilant against media that prioritize corporate interests over factual integrity. Confronting such deceit is vital for safeguarding justice and equity against dangers like Trump.
