my latest— the press needs a new script; pressrun.media/p/wave-of-good…
“Addicted to “Biden crisis” reporting since August, and often bending common sense in order to adhere to the Dems in Disarray narrative, the Beltway media now face a conundrum.”
Friday: 531k new jobs created

Friday: no mention of jobs report on NBC Nightly News or ABC World News Tonight

this ain’t normal, folks
“In the middle of the afternoon on Friday, news consumers visiting WashingtonPost.com had to scroll down past 75 different stories and links before they found the first mention of the blockbuster jobs report.”
“Ironically, at the top of the Post site Friday afternoon was a column about how the White House is having trouble spreading good news about the economy.”

CNN finally did a Biden Voter story

…the ones who voted GOP this week; cnn.com/videos/politic…
ftr, these moms make no sense

they claim school closures during pandemic biggest issue

so they voted for Biden, who oversaw reopening of schools nationwide…and then voted for GOP last wk bc Dems not helping w/ schools

brilliant!!
every Republican member of congress voted against Covid relief bill which sent $$$ to help schools reopen

moms: GOP cares abt education!

GUYS, the NYT has a new Trump Voter story!

I know, right? nytimes.com/2021/11/06/us/…
this one features (are you sitting down?) middle-aged rural whites
i've honestly lost count of how many Trump Voter stories from NYT since 2015.

but **every single one* is filled w/ pics like this, bc this is how NYT newsroom views America .

any reason this info, which reflects well on Biden administration, was left out report on high food costs, which reflects poorly on administration?

coincidence, I guess
simple solution would be to do a follow-up report acknowledging problems w/ the story and key context that was missing
it’s always odd to watch journalists who demand accountability look away when it’s their turn

vax rate has gone from 1% to 70% under Biden

all schools have re-opened in person, millions back at work in office, concerts halls and football stadiums are full
also, this is just GOP garbage

<supply chain slowdown that has emptied some stores>

if stores in US were “empty” today I’m pretty sure CNN would have pics—they don’t
and, Covid zombies on the right actively prolong pandemic, press blames Biden

i just checked: in 2009 when Dems lost NJ and VA gov race during Obama's first year in office, the NYT published one analysis piece, which suggested the defeats may or may not spell trouble for Dems

I think NYT has posted at least 9 articles about VA loss last night
something has happened to our DC press corps.
they now aspire to this

quick thread on why CRT was such an effective campaign lie, aside from appealing to suburban racism 1/
GOP used CRT as a battering ram to hit Dems. but truth is most elected Dems had never heard of CRT and certainly weren’t supporters of it being taught in schools, esp to young students 2/
