I said the other day on air that this whole thing reminds me of the John Edwards National Enquirer story. Remember when the other outlets wouldn't report on his affair, baby, Mellon money? NE did, the outlets who passed dismissed their scoop as trash gossip … /1
because the scoop didn't appear in a more "reputable" publication (as if they still had credibility, passing due to politics). But the story was true nonetheless, and no amount of insulting NE's rep changed the images of Edwards and Hunter at the Hilton ... /2
After spending weeks denying it and trying to suppress it, the overwhelming public interest and dogged reporting from some still dedicated to truth forced it mainstream and ended his political career ... /3
NYP was founded by Hamilton FFS, hardly similar to NE, but this was the modern moment that the storied and sanctified legacy media outlets proved that their political prioritization made them no better than the gossip outlets they looked down on ... /4
At least the gossip outlets were honest about what they are -- legacy media outlets still live on this fairy tale credit of respect for the citizen and devotion to pursuit of truth, which they don't demonstrate by coverage or behavior. ... 5
I'm writing about this for later today, but just as George Mason said that every man and woman in America is the militia, so too is every man and woman in America part of that "free press," especially ... 6
... when it seems the proverbial watchdog for the people would rather maul you for dissent than inform you against the forces of tyranny. /rant

Seriously, did producers not tell @SavannahGuthrie that Trump denounced white supremacy 18, 19 times now, most of it on tape? How many times are we doing this garbage?
When will these self-sanctified journos ask the klan evangelizing and segregation championing Joe Biden whether or not he denounces his past record and “racial jungle” remark or any of this ?
So glad that we have this NBC townhall where they are interested in the q anon stuff than anything on foreign policy, taxes, his America First gov’t purchase policy. Also, voters all take off their masks to talk into what may be the same mic.

Patrick Leahy is having a Biden moment while questioning ACB. Voters are owed better than a hyper partisan, confused, mumbling senator who can barely articulate a clear question.
Leahy is demanding personal belief as opposed to adherence to law so he can loudly complain if she does.
Great points from @JohnCornyn here on the propaganda about perceived conservative judges and the results, i.e. Roberts on ACA, etc.

Get it right. He rode the horse ill-equipped to be on pavement to the point of DEATH where the horse was BLEEDING PROFUSELY AND MAY HAVE TO BE EUTHANIZED you abusive morons.
Don’t sugarcoat this sick crap:
"NuNu collapsed at one point, but Hollingsworth whipped it to keep it moving, Deboni said. Two veterinarians who later examined the horse said it “suffered greatly, bled profusely”
cwbchicago.com/2020/09/census…
"the horse remains in critical condition. It “will never be deemed suitable to ride again, and euthanasia may be utilized for humane reasons due to the suffering the animal will likely endure for the rest of its life”

But yeah, giddy-up with this mind-numbingly stupid headline

We’re in a pandemic in which hundreds of thousands have lost jobs but some self-important goofy fascists want you to boycott ... Sandals Resorts/their workers because QUELLE HORREUR they advertise on the show of someone they dislike. Most of them aren’t even open yet.
Seriously, you’re boycotting a RESORT chain. When people are just making sure they can survive. Bougiest damn boycott ever.
The entire concept of their bougie little boycott is totally classist in the first place. Who gives AF when nearly half of America’s small businesses have closed?
