The entire internet is slowly but surely becoming Slate, a magazine on the web. ImageImage
Tough day for the Planned Adultery crowd ImageImage
All of these things seem to be given equal weight by the advice seeker and that’s a bit curious to me. Image
It’s also interesting that this insult was given a paragraph, yet his being married to another woman Is given only a sentence. Image
My unsolicited advice is to repent
Bubbling in my head somewhere is a think piece about how the last 18 months have emboldened people to share with the internet things that should be reserved for a priest/therapist (which is how Slate exists) and how that’s bad.

Do you remember the media meltdown over Trump’s pardons? As Biden hands out decades-long passes to his family and friends, that concern is nowhere to be seen.

Biden no doubt wants you to forget this outrage in the glow of the inaugural.

Don’t. Screenshots help. ⤵️
When Trump announced pardons late in his first term, @nytimes said it “showed his willingness to use his power aggressively on behalf of loyalists” to “override courts, juries and prosecutors to apply his own standard of justice for his allies.” Image
Image
When Biden did the same thing, @nytimes said he was using his “power to protect people targeted by…Trump” to “head off politically driven prosecutions.”

A little different, huh? Image

To commemorate this tragic news, a quick 🧵thread 🧵of some of my favorite Jennifer Rubin tweets.

She will be missed. See why. ⤵️
My favorite: Andrew Cuomo defender and reply guy Rubin.

These are real tweets. She’s commenting on the spaghetti. Image

Hard to square the circle here, in retrospect. Image

In honor of my securing the top spot on @StuDoesAmerica’s most frequent guests list, I wanted to highlight perhaps my favorite appearance: breaking down the media’s lovefest with former Gov Andrew Cuomo as he was killing countless New Yorkers. Image
I mean, heinous news aside, look at this set up. Image
It was based on a thread I did at the time.

Do you remember how sickening this was?

The biggest media story of Biden’s time in office is how the press covered up his cognitive decline…right up until he became a disastrous political liability for Democrats.

Wanna know why people don’t trust the corporate press? Look at these side by sides ⤵️
It’s stunning the pace with which the media narrative shifted.

In 3 weeks time, @washingtonpost went from blaming “cheapfake” videos misleading audiences as the cause of concern around Biden to a headline that even foreign officials were alarmed by Biden’s “accelerating” aging. Image
Image
Where was the @washingtonpost for those three weeks between ‘four Pinocchios for this lie, we all know Biden doesn’t dance!’ to “Biden has slowed considerably over the last several months.”

Several months!! Image

The gov’t finally released pictures of Biden with his son Hunter’s business partners.

You may remember the corporate press alleging for years that there’s no evidence Biden had any contact with Hunter’s shady businesses.

I think some corrections are in order. ⤵️ Image
For years, the corporate press ran cover for claims that President Biden wasn’t involved in Hunter’s unsavory business dealings, particularly with foreign governments.

That was all a sham.

I think @nytimes should correct the record now that we know their reporting is false. Image
If this story is worth reporting on — and it appears that @washingtonpost thought it was, at least when the narrative helped Democrats — then it should be worth following up when we get new information that makes clear the Post reported in error.

Right? Image

Biden’s pardoning of his son Hunter says an enormous amount about the president’s views of justice.

But it also says a lot about the willingness of the mainstream media—the nation’s noble fact checking corps—to repeat bogus claims that suit Democrats.

Remember? ⤵️
For starters, let’s revisit the coverage of how Biden wouldn’t do what he just did.

Biden said he wouldn’t pardon his son, no way. He would trust our legal system.

The media repeated it at every turn, without a shred of incredulity.

Here’s @washingtonpost Image
Image
Seemingly every outlet did the same. @CNN had a couple of my favorites.

Look at the lede in on this first one.

The media’s job isn’t to simply repeat what politicians tell them. Whatever happened to “defenders of our democracy” and all that? Image
