#sanewashed
I genuinely can't get my head around the full scope of the damage here

yet when you read most media coverage of Trump tech policy, the fact his policies are largely indistinguishable from a foreign attack isn't really made clear to anybody

it's all normalized and sanewashed

Almost all the media, including CNN, sanewashed Trump for ten years.

Douthat doesn’t love Trump. But he sanewashed and both sides his actions for years.

Don't forget, almost all media sanewashed Trump for ten years.

Millions who consume sanewashed media will see this

This has parallels with the Democrat's 'blue tsunami' in the US:

What previously was sanewashed, is now exposed as unhinged as reality is setting in.
Compare and contrast…
Reporting on the Brexit reset from the FT and the Sun…
A grown up v an absolute child.
Analysis v a pathetic strop.
Facts v name-calling nonsense.

“£17bn economic boost to UK GDP” v “lifting a few nitpicking checks”

Embarrassing petulance.

I actually think a major reason the cheeto got re-elected was that national news media sanewashed him so much that low-info voters didn’t even know he was promising mass-deportation, or at least they didn’t know what mass-deportation would look like

Ten years of this and still his very obvious statements of desire or intent are sanewashed
President Donald Trump jokes about renaming the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool to the "Trump Reflecting Pool" during his remarks at the official reopening.

True, but it cannot be denied they have sanewashed a lot of shit over the last 10 years in their attempts to be "balanced" or "objective." This was infotainment *at best*, not informing an electorate.

I'm mourning the loss in Florida, having to suffer through Byron Donalds. A supremely stupid troll.🧌

And no, Mr. <monkey sounds> "there are good parts to slavery" DeSantis must not be sanewashed in contrast.

I am no defender of #EgoJoeBiden. However, #AOC is correct here. From the worst of fallen #legacymedia #WAPO, #NewYorkTimes & #CBSNews, the #MSM overall has grossly failed America with its coverage of 💀☣️45/47☣️💀 since 2015. It has #sanewashed, #whitewashed & #justicewashed.

Love seeing a Democrat sanewashed after advocating political violence for once.

if anything, they'd hire the one libs have dug up to save face, *the way they did with Four Seasons Total Landscaping*. Trump clearly wanted the more famous one! The sanewashed option is giving him an *out*!

They still sanewashed him.

How is this for a headline: "How the whole of legacy media sanewashed trump's total descent into dementia -- until it was too late!"
November 1, 2026 at 7:47 PM
To a lot of people it's still NNN, not the sanewashed rebrand you've been sold on. Like I get the point of your comment, and I believe your intentions are good, but you're also not engaging with the actual point of the post or why the poster made the point to begin with.

Truly evil what they've wrought on this Earth. The families they've destroyed. The wars they've helped create. The people they've demonized. The cruelty and corruption they've whitewashed. The madness they've sanewashed. Truly evil.

ok well they just said Trump made a "herculean effort" in the last weeks and sanewashed the fact that his rallies consisted mostly of him babbling nonsense
I generally don't mind ABC as much as some others, and WSB, imo, is the best local channel for results

The digital article (which will have far greater reach than the physical copy) gets a sanewashed headline making the demented sexual harassment seem like a wacky sitcom. bsky.app/profile/carl...
Digital gets a different headline.

What's so maddening about this is: 1) you really couldn't be surprised, if you were paying the LEAST attention to Trump's rhetoric in 2024 (and before); 2) the media pretty much COMPLETELY failed to convey any of this (to the contrary, it whitewashed/sanewashed Trump) bluevirginia.us/2026/11/virg...

It is not now or ever was a joke by the president. It was a “wrong Dana White” plus dementia which resulted in an off the wall Truth Social post. The story is too embarrassing and would absolutely put dementia in play in MSM if it wasn’t converted to an intentional choice. Which CAN be sanewashed.
November 8, 2026 at 6:46 PM
Yes, but a _very_ soft launch. Leading psychiatrists, psychologists and other experts have been warning Trump has dementia and should be removed from office since his first term. I was shocked that the Times didn't interview any of them in that article. mindsitenews.org/2025/04/01/s...
‘The Press Has Sanewashed Trump’s Dementia and Mental Illness’: Dr. John Gartner
The psychologist and founder of Duty to Warn says the aging Trump has dementia and is severely mentally ill.

It's how young men were duped by Trump's no new wars bs in 24. Or Latinos were duped into believing they really only were gonna go after the criminal immigrants (thus removing that stain by association from the good patriotic hard working Latinos)

Legacy media sanewashed & legitimized their lies
