my latest—why did this take 4 years?
pressrun.media/p/washington-p…
“Marty Baron has been executive editor for one of the most influential news outlets in America, so why did the paper fail to be "more forthright" about Trump's lies? “
“Why did the Post on the one hand employ an aggressive team of fact-checkers to document the thousands of Trump lies, but then refuse to call them "lies"?

That's not journalism.”

ABC poll showed Americans support impeachment by 13 pts

but sure, “slender”
such bizarre framing: *only* a clear majority support impeachment

fact: 2/3 **opposed** impeaching Clinton

my latest—Dems are def not n disarray; pressrun.media/p/sorry-politi…
“As for Republicans and the political consequences impeachment poses for them? Politico wasn't interested, The GOP, apparently, faces no impeachment fallout, only Democrats.”
bottom line:

when Dem President was impeached it was Bad News for Dems

when a GOP president gets impeached it’s Bad News for Dems

heads you lose, tails you lose

zero decisions to be made

it’s right thing to do and polls show massive Covid relief Bill is hugely popular

Q is how badly does voting NO damage GOP
it's stunning how there's been virtually no media coverage re: political risks GOP faces over Covid bill.

it's all abt Dems.
It’s so engrained in media’s mind that GOP is super savvy

my latest—surprise! DC press suddenly awakens from 4-year slumber! pressrun.media/p/white-house-…
“The briefing room kerfuffle seems more like Beltway journalists frantically trying to find a way to ding the Biden White House — a way to show they're not part of the "liberal media" — by inventing conflicts where none exists.”

FFS there are two parties involved here. why does press always insist it’s **only** up to Dems to be “bipartisan”??
Dems need *zero* GOP votes, but it’s depicted like they’re the ones in tight spot???
GOP faces disaster if all 50 vote NO on massively popular Covid relief bill. but sure, Dems need to make a deal....
