TMZ Has a New Obsession: Vacationing Members of Congress

Politicians want to act like reality TV show stars, they can get treated like them, too

It honestly also feels less controversial.

Politics has become an entertainment circus so it makes sense for TMZ to cover it now.

Probably because Harvey is in the Murdoch empire they toe the line. I also think he may have been to Mar A Lago in the past? Might be miss-remembering.

While TMZ generally fills the air with tabloid noise, they have an incredible track record when it comes to facts and sources.

If you put significant enough paparazzi pressure on *literal politians* they will eventually use their combined political power against you. There is an upside to exposing politicians in the same way celebrities are exposed, but they really don't want politicians to get so pissed off they make a significant portion of your methods illegal both against them *and* anyone else.

Tarred AND feathered.

No quarter

THIS is what the Gawker Stalker app should’ve been used for.

He was putting down margaritas in the sun! Bathing in the warm water. Seniors in his state? Without power and freezing to death in their sleep

And when confronted about it, he blamed his daughters.

Which is really a statement on the corporate mainstream media.

A Right Wing Billionaire?

Bezos bought all of Conde Nast, which he claimed was a wedding present for his wife.

Because we can also see how these outlets report on things (or decide not to report on things) like the ICE protests, ICE funding, the Iran war. There's a lot of framing and manufacturing of consent going on right now.

To be fair, hegseth and crew really handed that story to the Atlantic.

I mean the guy from the Atlantic was included in the signal chat. It’s not like He did groundbreaking journalism, he just said he look guys they included me on this war chat!

Spineless is a bad phrase for a lot of them, more like spine stolen by corrupt oligarchs 

Goofy would be significantly better, for real.

Insert: Evil “I’ll f****** do it again” Goofy meme

Have you seen The Goofy Movie? It's incredibly heartfelt and emotionally intelligent. Goofy would be a a significant upgrade.

I imagine with what they post they're constantly opening themselves up to litigation, so they have to make sure everything they do is factually accurate. Imagine if the rest of journalism was held to the same standard - you know, like before they repealed the Fairness Doctrine in 1987.

Sure, but I rarely saw anything worthwhile written by them. Correct, just normally useless shit. Then again, that's their business so ... some people do care.

There is nothing wrong with normal adults going to Disney without children. Lindsay Graham is a pedo protector though (and allegedly one himself) so ew he should not be there.

Levin is a pro-Trump opportunistic a******. His default is to be all-in on MAGA shit until it impacts his wealth. You don't meet with Trump if you're not bought in.

Yeah, in public you'll see shit like "Harvey Levin blasts Trump over Don Lemon arrest!" But then in private it's "Harvey Levin granted 1-hour private meeting with Trump that included a tour of the presidential palace" On TMZ: "Harvey Levin GOES OFF on Trump over threat to cut Air Traffic Controller pay!" Off of TMZ: "Harvey Levin says all democrats are bullies!" Multiple members of the TMZ staff have anonymously come forward to reporters over the years to talk about how uncomfortable it is to work there because Harvey supposedly makes the whole place a pretty pro-MAGA environment.

Yeah there’s something bigger here. TMZ heavily favours certain people and it’s obvious. This is BTS retribution, I’m sure of it.

Not really. In last 20 years, Democrats only have trifectas twice and only for 2 years (Obama and Biden) . All Congressional and Presidential terms end and it's on the voters to vote for another term. THE VOTERS ensured that Democrats are kicked out of Congress during the midterms effectively stopping the progress that Obama and Biden were making. Never forget that Despite the "obstruction" by GOP, the Democrats under Obama and Biden were still able to do lots of things. During Obama, Democrats saved the economy and advanced the cause of universal health care in the US by passing the ACA! During Biden, Democrats saved the economy (AGAIN!) and stopped a raging pandemic! Truly inspirational leadership. > They got the same warning via Jan 6 that the voters got but did nothing to stop them regaining power. You mean, THE VOTERS got the same warning and did the exact opposite and allowed Trump to go back in power. There's no restrictions on whether a convicted felon or a jailed felon can run for president. Trump in Jail and Trump in Maralago is just a difference in location. His name can still be on ballots, And The Supreme Court even made sure with the Colorado case. By 2024, Biden’s first term was going to end regardless because each president only gets 4 years per term. Voters must vote for another term. Voters should have voted for Biden/Kamala/Democrats, regardless of Trump's location. Every person who said "Don't vote for Biden/Kamala" contributed to this mess. But it's still fixable. This is on all of us to fix by giving Democrats their rightful place back so we must vote for Democrats now&forever without exception for at least 50 years

Chuck "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed you didn't file the correct paperwork before starting a war" Schumer

> They’ve had plenty of time in the last 20 years to stop the march towards fascism and oligarchy When?? Please do tell. >Take responsibility for Chuck Schumer calling the ACA a mistake. He said it was politically a mistake, and he was right. Republicans gained 6 seats in the Senate, ending Dems super majority, and gained 63 seats in the House winning the majority in the 2010 elections. If that's not a political loss I don't know what is. And to be clear, I hate Schumer.

The topic here is the Senate and House voting to go into recess, not the "20 year march towards fascism."

you're all over the place.

Didn't know that, but i also didnt really know who Levin is. And so i wondered why someone owns TMZ and supports trump, would take embarrassing photos of Lindsey Graham just now as hes calling for invasion of Iran. This would be contradictory. I looked it up and it makes more sense now: >Levin supported Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2016 United States presidential election.[32] Following the election, he met with Trump in the Oval Office on March 7, 2017, and chatted for an hour.[33] However, by August 2018,[34] he distanced himself from Trump over the president's repeated attempts to establish a transgender military ban. He became an increasingly vocal opponent of Trump in the years following.[35][36] Hes a moron. They're all trump supporters until the image they mentally projected onto trump falls apart.
