absolving millions of Trump voters who eagerly traffic in lies seems like bad idea
“I feel sympathy for them”

what an awful take-away from this election season
so many are deplorables, Hillary was right.

why does press pretend otherwise?
GA’s Sec of State and wife got death threats during recount.

but sure, these are blameless folks

My latest—it’s not news; pressrun.media/p/who-cares-ab…
“The media’s firm fixation on Trump voters isn’t normal — the idea that our politics needs to concern itself with the bruised feelings of voters who supported the presidential loser has no basis in how the press traditionally views the election season. “
Hillary got more votes! press couldn’t care less abt her supporters after Election Day

Politico: Dems "behind eight ball" bc Dems haven't won many GA runoffs in the past

um yeah, and before this year Dems hadn't turned GA blue since JFK.
there was a Dem political earthquake in GA two weeks ago.

Politico: this is good news for GOP

a thread after seeing lots of timid news coverage of Trump/GOP's attack on free fair elections this week; pressrun.media/p/trumps-elect…
first POTUS in 240 yrs to refuse to accept election results, and GOP supports it. Instead of vivid portraits of a party abandoning any principles as GOP lawmakers obediently fall in line behind Trump's nasty behavior, we get coverage about how savvy Republicans are being
One CNN report this week even suggested Republicans had “no choice” but to back Trump’s election sabotage.

Republicans do have a choice — they can support the rule of law and denounce the attempt to do lasting damage to our democracy.

NYT *so desperate* to portray GOP as standing up to Trump sabotage
spoiler: they’re not; pressrun.media/p/trumps-elect…

btw, i wrote this three months ago; pressrun.media/p/memo-to-medi…
"That's why there have been so many, Here's-How-Trump-Dropped-The-Ball process stories, followed by Here's-How-Trump-Can-Fix-The-Problem pieces. Both narratives miss the disturbing reality of what's been unfolding for the last five months — Trump doesn't care. Period."
he's a monster. Beltway press has spent 4 yrs trying not to say that.
