Laughing at Brian Stelter’s MAGA-Fascist Fiction
24th May 2024
Is The New Republic still an opinion journal, or has it turned into a science-fiction magazine? For their June issue, the magazine put Donald Trump on the cover with a Hitler moustache over the headline “American Fascism: What It Would Look Like.” They published eight fever-brained visions of Trumpian fascism in a second term.
Former CNN host Brian Stelter penned a fictional article titled “Revenge and Freedom From Fact: On the media in a fascist America.” It’s unintentionally funny to decry “freedom from fact,” and then write an entire article based on nothing but your own twitterpated potboiler instincts.

Mr. Graham uses “twitterpated” hilariously incorrectly in the quoted section. I doubt Stelter can produce anything out of a sense of affection, romantic or otherwise.
