The New York Times ran its story on Trump refusing to commit to a peaceful transfer of power on page A15, Washington Post on A4. Can't tell if or where they ran stories but it isn't on the Newseum's front pages for Wall Street Journal, LA Times, USA Today, or Chicago Tribune.
The Times prioritized room on the front for “Trump buoyed in the suburbs of Milwaukee.”
It's the second story after Louisville on NBC's Today, with Peter Alexander saying Trump "is taking a position that is not just unprecedented but, critics warn, it is dangerous, refusing to endorse one of the most basic tenets of American democracy."
Similar placement for segment on ABC's Good Morning America, with George Stephanopoulos warning that Trump is "defying democracy."
CBS This Morning's coverage was much briefer and more perfunctory.
Lots of coverage on CNN and MSNBC; a near-total blackout on Fox News, and totally ignored on the popular primetime/Fox & Friends shows.
Wall Street Journal story also ran on A4. It looks like Chicago Tribune and USA Today didn't run print stories at all.
Yesterday I wrote about how Trump exploits the media vulnerability of the finite news hole.
This isn't that. NYT A1 includes "Trump buoyed in the suburbs of Milwaukee,” WaPo has "Trump seeks health care 'wins.'"
LA Times put "Opposing styles in debate preparation" on A1 and "Trump won't commit to exit; Assertion that there 'won't be a transfer' of power alarms experts" on A6.
After I started tweeting about this, the New York Times moved the story to the top of its website.
How things are going right now on the websites of the largest news outlets in North Carolina after CNN broke its story about Mark Robinson's "dozens of disturbing comments on porn forum" -- a thread.
Fox’s response to Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo peddling thirdhand election fraud lies she didn’t bother to check demonstrates how the network has abandoned anything resembling journalistic standards in its quest to return Donald Trump to the White House.
Bartiromo repeatedly told her Fox Business viewers this week about a “Democrat operation” to register “massive lines of illegals” to vote at Texas government offices, a story she originally attributed to the wife of a friend of a friend and made no apparent effort to verify.
Her thirdhand gossip was swiftly debunked by the local Republican Party and the Texas Department of Public Safety, with a spokesperson for the latter noting that her conspiracy theory was “kind of racist.”
Maria Bartiromo repeatedly used her Fox Business show to peddle an election fraud conspiracy theory that she claimed originated with the wife of a friend of a friend in Texas.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says her story is "kind of racist" and "simply false."
On Sunday morning, Bartiromo posted an item to X alleging that “a massive line of immigrants” had been obtaining driver’s licenses and registering to vote at three Department of Motor Vehicles offices in Texas:
She didn't leave the third-hand unsubstantiated claims to her social feed. On Monday and Tuesday she repeatedly aired them on her Fox Business show -- having apparently done no independent reporting to confirm claims that she said originated with the wife of a friend of her friend.
Psycho shit like this will get you lots of bookings on Tucker Carlson's show but normal Americans are too busy cheering the U.S. women in gymnastics to create chalkboard scrawls blaming Kamala Harris for who Algeria sends to the Olympics.
Trump’s once-formidable polling lead evaporated, the Vance rollout is in shambles, and his supporters casting about for someone to blame.
They're responding with the hateful shit that the MAGA freakshow loves but that repulses normal people. mediamatters.org/fox-news/maga-…
When you're absolutely devoted to the cause of Olympics women's sports.
