awful framing—some Repubs may soon acknowledge Biden win is presented as good news, not a sign of how completely demented GOP has become. cnn.com/2020/12/09/pol…
continues 4 yr obsession of press trying to prop up idea GOP deeply distressed by Trump’s unAmerican behavior—they’re not
reminder: it was CNN that two weeks reported GOP “had no choice” but to back Trump’s demented claims of voter fraud

awful Covid framing.

I haven’t walked inside a building w/o a mask in 10 months. my family canceled Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings.

*millions* are doing this

Trump and GOP gave up!!
NBC runs 10 Covid articles in special news package, *not one* abt Trump’s deliberate, criminal negligence
media astonished at how bad US pandemic is—Trump plays no role, apparently

in March I wrote that Trump had given a stand down order for virus invasion

I wish press had spent last 9 months covering story that way
instead, last spring they toasted Trump for his serious pandemic “tone”; pressrun.media/p/tone-deaf-ho…
fact that Trump is waging war on America remains off limits for press

my latest—why, why, why? pressrun.media/p/why-is-the-w…
“Chained to the narrative that Republicans are savvy and that Trump surrounds himself with superstars, the press showers attention and praise on people who not only fail at their jobs, but actively shred public trust for a living.”
“For the Post to be doing it just weeks before Trump leaves office represents an egregious lapse in newsroom judgment — one likely driven by access journalism.”

my latest—pls stop doing this; pressrun.media/p/sorry-cnn-tr…
“The conservative movement under Trump is gleefully taking a sledgehammer to facts, to science, to reason, and to common decency. The last thing Trump voters who traffic in this awfulness deserve is empathy from the press.”
“why are high-profile journalists offering public empathy for Trump supporters as they strain public debate to the breaking point by embracing a ceaseless stream of lies?”

have we *ever* seen this media obsession with voters who backed losing candidate? nytimes.com/2020/11/27/opi…
of course word “racist” is never mentioned when dissecting Trump voters—they’re always just hard working folks

and gosh darn it, why can’t Dems connect w/ them
premise here also doesn’t work: Trump appealed to voters by stressing school, economy “re-open” and boxed Dems in

fact: tens of millions of Trump supporters think Covid is “hoax”

how exactly are Dems supposed to win them over

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?
