GUYS, Trump is super savvy. all the kool kids say so
LA Times poll this week gives Dems largest generic lead in modern American history, so **of course** it’s time to type up a Dems In Disarray column
can you imagine looking over current midterm landscape, where GOP in many cases is conceding districts they have held for 30+ yrs and saying, ‘I’m gonna write column abt how Dems are getting outsmarted’?

virtually every comment here is asking why WP is using “false claim” re: blatant Trump lie in 2022

why won’t WP explain?
this is the media’s defining two-step: invent new rules for Trump, never explain them to news consumers
bc they’re indefensible

“I don’t have regrets about the Hillary Clinton e-mail stories.”

stunning lack of introspection from NYT executive editor

newyorker.com/news/the-new-y…
this is exactly why @deanbaquet fired the paper’s public editor after 2016 campaign

the strategy was to circle the wagons and to force entire newsroom to sign off on collective denial re: one of the worst journalism failures of this generation

my latest—he’s Ken Starr II, the press should treat him that way;

another partisan GOP conducting a Clinton witch hunt.
“The bad news is the same elite news outlets are stepping lightly around the real story at the center of the right-wing mob — the unethical nature of Durham’s work and how he’s clearly working with the far right to try to manufacture controversy where none exists.”

so for a story on Dems woes, AP goes to a town in PA that voted 75% for Trump

statistically, you cannot find a less important voting block than white voters in sparsely populated rural counties

but
press
can’t
stop
writing

“U.S. retail sales rebounded by more than forecast with the biggest gain since March, as Americans kept spending through a Covid-19 spike and hot inflation to help drive the economic recovery.”
press just cannot bury the Biden Boom
