This article has some good info on Trump's data driven 2020 campaign led by Brad Parscale

But how can article on Parscale the digital director NOT mention Cambridge Analytica once?

Or the Russian troll farm & vast social media manipulation in 2016?

I asked the same question about the last big in-depth article on Parscale in the @nytimes and all it did was earn me a block from the author

Does Parscale grant interviews on condition article won't mention Cambridge Analytica? How does this happen twice?

What's so infuriating is the focus of profile on Parscale describes how large, well-funded & efficient Trump's 2020 campaign is - operations merged with the RNC to harness even more power - and the campaign is DATA DRIVEN

This chart shows Trump 2020 spend on Facebook and Google ads

But no mention in the article that there are multiple investigations around the world into how Trump's 2016 campaign vendor Cambridge Analytica collected and used personal data - from Facebook

CNN uses #BadassWomenDC to describe Kellyanne Conway

This is a complete failure of the media - it's not reporting it's dangerous PR fluff
