@dangillmor It's a performative lie.
They don't need anyone to believe it.
They just need to avoid embarrassing the king, and to deny having had to lie to do so.The denial doesn't have to be believable.
In fact, it serves several purposes of the regime that it is not.

Neo-liberalism has made the system so fragile.
Optimality and resilience are at odds, they form a pareto front. And resilience definitely lost the trade-off.
Perfect feeding grounds for authoritarians.
The same crowd that broke the system will continue to usurp it.

@dangillmor They must have bought the Eurovision anti-booing technology.

@dangillmor big journalism isn’t following the right wing agenda it’s leading it.

@dangillmor I remember when we used to make fun of regimes who did this....

@dangillmor The DNC is incapable of upholding the #TrumpPrecedent. They'll get their bribes the old fashioned way - by kissing oligarch ass, not lawsuits designed to warp the news.

Booing of Vance wasn't hidden in Europe.
Europe doesn't like Vance much. It is a point of worry that if Trump goes for one reason or other, Vance is next.
Europe like and trust Vance even less than Trump (which at first wouldn't seem possible).

@steinarb The EBU muted booing of Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2024 (https://theintercept.com/2025/05/17/eurovision-censored-israel-booing-free-palestine/).
European media are happy to protect fascism just as much as USAmerican media.

@dangillmor I am European, was there and now in Cortina. Both Israeli and US teams were loudly booed and JDV was booed and jeered. Individual US competitors are booed when introduced. The protest in Milan on Saturday evening which involved a clash with the police was against the IOCs decision to allow both Israeli and USA teams to compete. There is a view in Europe that the USA and Israel should be treated like Russia and banned. The USA is now seen as a rogue state like Russia.

NBC joins ABC & CBS as being weak, pathetic, fascist appeasers. Fox has been deep in Dotard Tumor's colon for a decade now
