MSNBC Discovers Trump's DOJ Had 'Political Prosecutions' – Now?
MSNBC's recent piece celebrates a 'not guilty' verdict in a Trump-era ICE case, framing it as a stark message against 'political prosecutions' by his DOJ. Quite the revelation, coming from a network that rarely questions the political motivations behind *any* prosecution when its preferred party is in power. One might wonder if the concern for weaponized justice only emerges when the wrong team is
running the show. While they bravely (and belatedly) castigate Trump's DOJ, the corporate media's silence on, say, the continued persecution of Julian Assange— a case directly impacting press freedom often applauded by MSNBC —is rather deafening. Where's the 'stark message' about using the Espionage Act against journalists? Apparently, 'political prosecution' is a designation applied based on who
holds the Oval Office, not on the merits of justice.
