my latest—a media low point from Trump era; pressrun.media/p/judge-confir…

“Now that a federal judge has confirmed that the press got played, badly, what's the media response going to be? Will there by any introspection, will editors and producers reflect on how and why they got taken for a ride on one of the most important news stories of 2019?”

“The likely answer is no to all those questions, because when it comes to being honest and open about grave blunders the press made while covering Trump, there's no appetite for it, except when the criticism comes from conservatives screaming "liberal media bias."

she's also a congenital liar.

NYT could publish a 100 fawning Noem profiles and never mention that.

nytimes.com/2021/05/02/us/…

in long profile of Republican pol, NYT doesn't quote a single Dem/lib critic.

this is the norm at NYT — those voices don't matter.

9 Republicans quoted

lol Rudy tried to get FBI to take Hunter's hard drives during the raid.

what a loon.

it took 15 second for this interview to make no sense.

I'm sure Carlson/Rudy will explain why Trump's DOJ wouldn't touch Hunter case.

Joe's so good at this

GOP simply cannot lay a finger on him.

it's driving them nuts

for first time in more than a decade GOP doesn't have their go-to's when attacking Dem leader: race (with Obama) misogyny (Hillary)

a thread abt NYT whiteness

i'd been meaning to do this for a long time, and was prompted today by the Times' umpteenth update on middle-age, white Trump voters in red states.

it's been a 5-yr obsession for the paper.

i decided to collect some of the pics the Times has run over the years in all these voter stories.

so behold the kaleidoscopic of diversity of NYT has been documenting in its political reporting.
