Alright folks, I'm heading on vacation through next Wednesday. Deleting Twitter from my phone, won't be reachable or following the news. Take care of each other. Follow @GoAngelo @revrrlewis @LisPower1 @pamela_vogel @ndrew_lawrence and the rest of the @mmfa for news about news.
Back from vacation and logging back in after a week off this hellsite, I’m sure things are very norm—JEFFREY EPSTEIN IS DEAD AND THE PRESIDENT PUSHED CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAT THE CLINTONS KILLED HIM WHAT FRESH HELL IS THIS???
THERE WAS A MULTI-DAY NEWS CYCLE THAT REVOLVED AROUND A CABLE NEWS HOST AND GODFATHER REFERENCES AND I MISSED IT????

Not going to bother to find out what he said in order to express regrets to Puerto Ricans that it happened, fascinating stuff!
Takeaway from the truck stunt is Trump won’t say anything bad about the supporter who spoke at his rally and called PR garbage, and indeed doesn’t seem able to even denounce the comment.
He’s just giving those influential Puerto Ricans who have been expressing outrage about the comments all week new material to post about, insane self-own.

Trumpy billionaires are hoping to ride a wave of grievance into power, then use it to cut their own taxes and demolish their competitors. Image
In exchange for his support, Trump is offering Elon Musk the power to, in Musk's own telling, destroy Tesla's domestic competitors. Image
Image
The result would reverse the domestic manufacturing renaissance spurred by the Inflation Reduction Act, eliminating good jobs in Republican parts of the country. Image

It is depressing but somehow not surprising that 11 days before an election that the NY Times’ publisher and top editor warn could destroy the U.S. free press, the paper is spending time taking down good-faith critics (me) who argue its content doesn’t meet that moment. Image
Let’s go through this from top to bottom. semafor.com/article/10/24/…
The Semafor write-up doesn’t include the relevant Times data and its characterization of our findings is much broader than what we actually wrote.

Here’s the study, let me explain what we actually did and reported. mediamatters.org/new-york-times…

Fox's women voters town hall is very obviously packed with Donald Trump supporters, opens with a standing cheering ovation for him.
The first question at the Fox town hall went to a Lisa who looks a lot like Lisa Cauley, president of the Fulton County Republican Women -- even the necklace matches. fultonrepublicanwomen.com/team/lisa-caul…Image
Image
This is a Trump campaign event with an audience of his supporters and a moderator who is doing everything possible to help him out, which makes sense since Fox News is a Republican propaganda outlet.

The blue bars are articles mentioning Hillary Clinton's email server in the week after the Oct. 2016 Comey letter.

The red bars are articles mentioning Trump's Jan. 6 indictment the week after Jack Smith's latest filing was unsealed earlier this month. Image
Major papers are giving Trump’s Jan. 6 indictment dramatically less attention than they did Clinton’s server mediamatters.org/new-york-times…
We found the papers ran 26 combined articles mentioning Trump’s indictment in the week after the unsealing of Smith’s filing. But those same papers published 100 combined articles — nearly 4 times as many — that mentioned Clinton’s server in the week after Comey's letter. Image
