that “disparages” America’s past. Museums and monuments are being scrubbed of content that doesn’t fit the approved version of history one that erases injustice, whitewashes violence, and silences dissent.

That and how the media whitewashes it and how republicans excuse it.

Easily. The mainstream media whitewashes 90% of what Trump says and does
I honestly think if you assigned a 3rd grader to report on some Trump press conference, you’d get a more accurate representation of what happened than what we get from legacy media
I’ve been writing about politics in some capacity for over 25 years now and it’s still stunning how the mainstream media refuses to tell the public basic truth

He made a Nazi salute. Then to be sure he made a second Nazi salute.

And ADL of all orgs calls it “an awkward gesture” and whitewashes it.

Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

Cuomo wants power, Mamdani wants a better New York, the media whitewashes abusive failures, and moderate voters don't pay attention.
COLUMN: Cuomo wants redemption, Mamdani wants a revolution and moderate voters want someone else. The NYC mayoral primary lays bare the problems facing the Democratic party, writes our Jonathan Martin.
Why the New York Mayor’s Race Matters
Voters are disappointed by the Cuomo-Mamdani race, but the result will resonate far beyond the Big Apple.

when a reporter whitewashes a CSAM peddler it makes you wonder what's on the reporter's phone

We’re not heading toward authoritarianism—we’re already in it!

Trump extorts, censors, deports, whitewashes history, guts healthcare, and strips women’s rights. The next step? Martial law + no elections.

The only question: who will stop him?

Politico is right wing trash that both whitewashes Trump's motivations and paints autism as a "problem"

Where is the evidence that Trump actually wants to rebuild US manufacturing, and how is destroying solar power in the US going to achieve that?

It’s stunning how media normalizes and whitewashes Trump‘s efforts to destroy the US.
President Trump’s latest move to shun foreign solar power equipment is part of his effort to rebuild US manufacturing clout. It may simultaneously exacerbate the fast-widening green technology split between the US and the rest of the world.

NPR repeatedly whitewashes his speeches. They should just report the false and nonsensical parts for a change.

The Ellisons cozying up to Trump, who is rewarding Brett Ratner for directing the forthcoming flattering documentary on Melania that whitewashes her life.
Rush Hour 4 is reportedly a go at Paramount – after Trump intervened on behalf of the movie.

Brett Ratner, accused of sexual misconduct by several women, will bring the franchise back to the big screen

Anyone who normalizes the Trump Administration, whitewashes their cult, and wags their paternalistic finger at the rest of us for not being "civil" as we continue to peacefully oppose them can burn in hell with the lot of em.

The POS @nytimes.com can't be bothered to mention the rambling, dementia-filled rant about trophy wives? The government is collapsing in a cesspool of greed and insanity. But NY Times whitewashes it.

You know who else erases history? Putin. He jails truth-tellers, whitewashes Stalin’s mass murders of millions, and rewrites borders to claim Ukraine was never a real country or people.

For a decade, I have been warning that Trump wants to mirror Putin and all his tactics
