10 paragraphs of pure stenography from the NYT on Trump’s cynical use of “angel families” to calumnize the media and demonize immigrants as criminals. Then the tiniest bit of context. This is NOT NORMAL, NYT, please stop treating it that way! nytimes.com/2018/06/22/us/…
By contrast, this excellent NYT story makes it very clear that Trump has no idea what he’s doing, which he doesn’t nytimes.com/2018/06/22/us/…
My friends at the @nytimes: Are these written and edited by different NYT species? (Or just different desks? Or just different reporters?) I don’t get it.
@nytimes Pretty good WaPo and AP stories about Trump’s cynical show, btw: washingtonpost.com/politics/trump… washingtonpost.com/politics/trump… So it’s not impossible.
Happy to see the NYT at least moved one paragraph of context way up, and amended the headline, later.

Yesterday was a historic day, for all the wrong reasons. But don't bother saving the front page of the NYT, WaPo or WSJ. Their main headlines didn't get close to telling the real story. Several regional papers -- especially in blue states (!) -- didn't hold back. See below.
WaPo front page didn't come close to conveying the gravity of the situation
NYT front page didn't come close to conveying the gravity of the situation.

The @nytimes knows full well that Trump is being deceptive and misleading in his suggestion that his lawyers' letter was leaked by Mueller.
Consider that this unsourced and yet in no way qualified paragraph is the Times clearly indicating that they were told things directly by Trump's lawyers, but only on condition that then not attribute it to anyone at all.

That's actually a strange amalgam of "off the record" which means they can't publish it at all unless they get it from someone else, and "on background" which means they can use it but only attribute it in an agreed-upon way.

Dana @Milbank writes that "Trump’s not a liar. He’s a madman." wapo.st/2ITj02x?tid=ss… 1/5
Similarly, @ddale8 has noted that while Trump is a serial liar, sometimes he's just confused or ignorant. 2/5
That said, @maggieNYT's penchant for euphemisms is a disservice to readers. 3/5

#Trump's last campaign rally of the 2018 mid-term election season is scheduled to start in about ten minutes. It's his THIRD rally of the day. Dude is likely exhausted and I doubt this rally will be less "speech" and more "incoherent tirade".
At any rate, here's the thread for it! Follow/mute at will!
Current Pre-show music is the Rolling Stones' "Sympathy for the Devil." I couldn't make this up if I tried.

Against Normalization: The Lesson of the “Munich Post”

THE TRUMP-HITLER COMPARISON.
Is there any comparison? Between the way the campaigns of Donald #Trump and Adolf #Hitler should have been treated by the #media and the culture? The way the media should act now? The problem of #normalization?
2/
Because I’d written a book called Explaining Hitler several editors had asked me, during the #campaign, to see what could be said on the subject.

Until the morning after the election I had declined them.

@RandPaul We all knew you were a freak. Always willing to stake out positions that made no sense. But backing #Trump by calling for the revocation of the security clearances of 4-5 of the most respected men in intel?

WHAT DO #PUTIN/#TRUMP HAVE ON YOU ASSHOLE?

@SRuhle @MSNBC
@RandPaul @SRuhle @MSNBC @Elise_Jordan Are you out of your fucking mind? I had the utmost respect for you until two minutes ago. None of the people whose clearances #Trump is threatening to pull are POLITICIZING. THEY ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO TELL AMERICANS THE TRUTH. What are you saying Elise? Trump.../1
...can use his position & the intel he has access to to spew lies, to commit treason, to destroy our democracy & what? NO ONE WITH ACCESS TO FACTS CAN STAND UP & CALL TRUMP OUT?? I’d suggest you rethink your position or you will lose any credibility you had./2

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
