Unclear whether the press will sustain the coverage, but this is what using the agenda-setting power looks like.
When I say it matters whether the press sustains the coverage, this is what I'm talking about -- the 2018 NYT bombshell about how Trump's fortune was built on tax fraud faded quickly, didn't make the Sunday shows that week: mediamatters.org/donald-trump/p…
FLASHBACK: A Trump-appointed prosecutor dropped an unfalsifiable partisan bomb on President Joe Biden Thursday, playing into a years-long right-wing media campaign — and U.S. political journalists decided to treat it as a valid and impartial charge.
Sean Hannity's Fox News show ran with this informant's claims in at least 85 separate segments last year, including 28 monologues. He said they proved Joe Biden engaged in "public corruption on a scale this country has never seen before.” mediamatters.org/fox-news/study…
Of course the benefit of building wild conspiracy theories premised on the bogus idea that the DOJ under Biden is in the tank for Democrats is you can move directly to claiming this prosecution is part of the conspiracy. mediamatters.org/fox-news/trump…
Per the indictment, the informant's story is impossible; he claimed in the 1023 that a Burisma official told him he bribed the Bidens around December 2015, but the informant never met with a Burisma official until 2017. justice.gov/sco-weiss/medi…

JONES: "The Jews... have spent their entire time here in the United States of America undermining the moral fabric of the American people."
E. MICHAEL JONES to Whitlock: "It’s called Biden’s minyan — you can look this up too — there are 457 Jews who are running the Biden administration. They’re the people who are in charge, OK? So there’s no point in talking about Joe Biden." mediamatters.org/blazetv/thebla…
Probably a little dicey to marry someone who disagrees with you politically if one of the things he disagrees with you about politically might be whether women should be able to get a no-fault divorce...
On the broader point, "women find your hobby off-putting so you should probably find a new one if you want to date" seems like a pretty normal state of affairs.
