I pose a simple question; dailykos.com/story/2019/8/1…
very interesting how so many responses here stress the idea that Trump's good for media biz, so that's why they don't demand he resign.

really hard to downplay the damage Trump is doing to news media trust these days
media double standards don’t come more pronounced than this

oils companies AREN’T INTERESTED IN MORE DRILLING BC THEY’RE SPENDING RECORD PROFITS BUYING BACK STOCKS FROM SHAREHOLDERS

same days I marvel at stupidity of NYT
**they’re all on the record saying they don’t want to spend $$$ on extra drilling**

just complete incompetence here
reporters at the NYT are clueless abt the realities bc the press, led by NYT, have given energy companies a total pass re: rising gas prices

my latest— a favorite DC media double standard; pressrun.media/p/are-only-dem…
“Journalists refused to drop the weird gotcha coverage. They hit Biden on Monday with 14 separate “gaffe” questions at a press briefing, pretending the story was still shrouded in confusion. Meanwhile, the press didn’t ask a single question about the state of the Ukraine war.”
“The media theatrics were especially galling since the previous president spent four years struggling to string together coherent sentences, garbling his way through a presidency.”

UPDATE: they spent 45 seconds on Ginni Thomas
