number of Democrats quoted in this story: 0
the entire premise is Abbott bashing Biden administration

incredibly, WP doesn’t include single quote from anyone in Biden administration
WP border coverage continues to be a mess

me, last month; pressrun.media/p/the-washingt…
by contest, NYT article on Abbott wall quotes critics calling it “illegal and immoral”

my latest— here we go….. pressrun.media/p/its-worse-th…
“It’s worse than Watergate because the White House abuse of power was purposely powered by the Justice Department. This would have been if U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell had helped plot the Watergate break-in”
“And it’s worse because since the scandal first broke last week, the Republican Party, as usual, has refused to acknowledge Trump’s radical ways and condemn the anti-democratic behavior.”

this *entire* article is just references to Republicans who don’t like Harris

that’s it—that’s the “analysis”
also, the level of condescending commentary in this piece is off the charts
by contrast, CNN just published this Mike Pence valentine today;

My latest a—more “falsehood” nonsense; pressrun.media/p/washington-p…
here’s’ show last wk’s Post article described Trump’s lies:
• “ceaseless attacks”
• “baseless theories”
• “unsubstantiated claims”
• “baseless claims”
• “baseless theories”
• “alleging without evidence”
• “falsehoods”
• “The accusations”
• “Claims”
“This is not the normal, instinctive language people use when telling the story about nonstop lies. This is the strained language reporters opt for when they want to avoid blunt adjectives to describe deeply disturbing Republican behavior that threatens democracy.”

also, not *one word* in this “nicely reported piece” abt the role of blatant GOP lies and misinformation

none of that exists for the @AP

lol as negotiator, Biden won't give away the game to GOP.

he's so mean! washingtonpost.com/politics/biden…
initial WH infrastructure deal was $2.2 trillion.

GOP has counter-offered with $900B

GOP can't believe Biden won't agree to deal!!
ftr, Biden doesn't need 1 GOP vote.

but yes, WashPost pls give up more reporting where you round up GOP quotes lamented how Biden won't sign off on GOP deal

embarrassing @AP performance on @ReliableSources right now re: Emily Wilder fiasco.
nothing has been learned by right-wing smear campaign.

undeniable AP message to staffers: if Fox News comes after you, you WILL be thrown under the bus
AP to staffers: you can never express a personal opinion abt ANY topic bc one day you might be called on to report on that issue, even indirectly.
