the press has resurrected the “gaffes” beat—but only for Dems. my latest.... dailykos.com/story/2019/8/1…
“ the media's gaffe obsession really seems out of whack, given that it's unfolding against the backdrop of the presidency of Donald Trump, whose entire political career can accurately be described as a verbal gaffe”
Note that the Biden gaffe dispatches have been noticeably light on quotes from actual voters who are bothered by the verbal missteps

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.”

also @MeetThePress round table spent zero mins discussing Ginni Thomas coup texts

UPDATE: they spent 45 seconds on Ginni Thomas
