reminder: days after Nov election, DC press was typing up GOP talking points abt how Republicans had GA in the bag.

that didn't make any sense to me 7 weeks ago; pressrun.media/p/gaslighting-…
"Something has clearly changed in the Peach State, as Democrats posted record turnout in counties outside Atlanta. The press ought to respect that and stop assuming Republicans are going to win the Senate before a single runoff vote is counted. "
NYT, WP, and Politico all rushed out stories assuming McConnell would be Senate leader during Biden's first term — they all assumed GA runoffs were layups for GOP

my latest—Republicans no longer play by the rules; pressrun.media/p/georgia-nigh…
doomsday scenario: Dems win both races by small margins and once again GOP launches massive campaign to steal the wins.
“And has the press learned anything over the last two months while covering the GOP's increasingly seditious, fascist attempt to overturn Joe Biden's election victory?”

No.

read that headline three times and tell me NYT isn’t just a broken institution, completely ill-equipped to handle Trump era; nytimes.com/2020/12/30/us/…
Hawley is unequivocally calling for election results to be overturned, something no sitting Senator in US history has ever advocated

and NYT politely types it up as “answering Trump’s call.” whatever the F that means
there aren’t two sentences in that 1,100-word NYT story that adequately capture the radical recklessness of Hawley’s actions

Biden smashed all records and got more votes than any candidate in history

NYT: red flags for Dems!!
imagine NYT coverage if Biden *lost* by 7M
NYT deeply worried Dems not winning white, blue-collar workers

left out of article: Dems have not won them in 70 yrs

when Pelosi went on CNN in Oct to say exactly this, Wolf Blitzer started yelling at her why wouldn’t she accept WH relief plan—a WH relief plan that had zero GOP Senate support
ie. it was never going to be voted on in GOP Senate and *Pelosi* from the House was to blame
in 9 mos, I’ve never seen a CNN host yell at a Republican abt blocking Covid relief
