Conspiracy theory? My NYT-labeled “conspiracy theory” tweet re why Speaker Pelosi delayed sending impeachment to the Sen is more plausible than the Speaker’s own words. Everyone knows she had no leverage over McConnell. So why do it? To help Biden. nytimes.com/2020/01/17/us/…
But you can tell a lot about the media by the words and labels they use. They didn't give Pelosi much of a challenge over her given reason - they yielded to it and instead derided those who found fault in Pelosi's stated reason as engaging in "conspiracy theories."
I, along with other Rs, made a plausible case. The NYT labels my case a "conspiracy theory." When Ds cited the Steele dossier, or collusion, or Michael Cohen in Prague, the media typically called those "allegations".
Back to my tweet. It's no conspiracy theory to say Pelosi delayed the trial so Warren and Sanders would be in DC while Biden (and others) are in Iowa. Nothing is more important to her than winning the WH. That's not a conspiracy theory. It's a good analysis.
