NYT obsession w/ Trump Voters knows no bounds
wtf is the point of this???

“He was a drug addict who was a criminal who resisted arrest and put himself in a position where what happened to him happened. If he didn’t resist arrest, it wouldn’t have happened.”
surveying one yr anniversary of Floyd’s death NYT editors brainstormed and decided let’s platform some white, right-wing Trump supporters and give them open forum to smear Floyd.

good grief

my latest — caving in to GOP mob; pressrun.media/p/incoming-was…
“The firing of Wilder is not only troubling for the AP, it’s also a problem for the Post, as it prepares for Buzbee’s arrival.”
“The last thing the paper wanted during this key transition period was to be grappling with doubts about Buzbee’s leadership. But after watching the Winter debacle unfold last week at the AP, it’s impossible to not question the editor’s newsroom guidance.”

this is some craven bullshit from @AP

completely indefensible to fire a reporter **based in AZ bureau** bc right-wing trolls don’t like her pro-Palestine college tweets

p.s. she’s Jewish
way a complete disgrace;
yes @SallyBuzbee needs to explain this before she leaves AP to become WashPost editor

my latest — The doom-and-gloom hot takes are everywhere;pressrun.media/p/crisis-chaos…
"Journalists overreach while trying to construct the new narrative. In an effort to paint a dire picture of mounting “crises,” several pointed to the *already-fixed* Colonial Pipeline shutdown from last week as proof Biden is staring into the abyss and facing “new” calamities"
“With border crossings now falling, the political press has lost interest in the former Biden “crisis.” Apparently, the pandemic and the migrant surge weren’t real crises because the administration helped deal with them efficiently.”

when covering the workforce and labor shortage, it would help if the media talked to workers; pressrun.media/p/stop-shaming…
stop reporting business news through eyes of Chamber of Commerce
“The vast majority of the news coverage simply accepts as fact that government benefits might be keeping people from returning back to work. Even though that same coverage rarely includes a single piece of empirical evidence to back up the claim.”

my latest— the media team up w/ GOP; pressrun.media/p/stop-shaming…
media keep repeating GOP claims about benefits keeping workers home, while media can't find a single piece of empirical evidence to back up claim abt 'lazy' workers
“That GOP narrative misses an important story unfolding as America emerges from the pandemic: Long-held assumptions about how we live are being scrambled.”
