my latest—marveling at the men, talking down to the woman; pressrun.media/p/how-the-new-…
“In the Times’ view, the white, male VP’s were “steady hands” with “influential” roles who were busy getting an “education” and “speaking freely.” But Harris, the first woman VP and first person of color in that historic role, might be an “afterthought”” #khive

my latest—the press was rooting for a holiday debacle; pressrun.media/p/how-bidens-c…
“The issue highlights what happens when the press joins forces with the GOP to hype a made-up Biden “crisis,” and how news outlets look away when the allegation proves to be a total bust.”
“The press spent the last five months of the year so obsessed with touting an endless list of supposed Biden calamities (remember the White House’s Colonial Pipeline “crisis”?), that news outlets seamlessly added the supply chain to Biden’s To Do list.”

ha! Manchin walked away from 6 mos of negotiations re: landmark $2T deal because of an “uncivil” WH statement (which wasn’t uncivil)??

how abt this: Manchin was always going to be a No
there’s no point in overthinking this
it’s amaze what gets tagged as “uncivil” from Dem WH following aft 4 yrs of sociopath in Oval Office

NYT is so awful…the “horrible” quote comes from a Republican, of course. nytimes.com/2021/12/18/us/…
landmark Covid relief passed, landmark infrastructure passed

two bills GOP failed to enact during all of 2020 — they made no serious attempt to even pass them!

but sure, it was “horrible” Congressional year
and oh yeah, Biden approval after 1 yr is 15 pts higher than where Trump was

but yes, just “horrible” yr for Dems

my latest—funny how that works; pressrun.media/p/surprise-pre…
“It’s clear that following the election, conservatives and journalists came to the exact same conclusion at the exact same time about CRT.  That’s because journalists spent most of this year simply regurgitating right-wing lies.”
“This whole chapter represents a textbook example of how every Beltway news cycle starts with the very simple premise: What are Republicans angry about today?”

what good is access if….
as I mentioned last week, has a WH press corps ever missed more news in real time than the Trump WH press corps?

my latest—the press shrugs; pressrun.media/p/slow-walking…
“The coup blueprint still has not appeared on the front page of a single major American newspaper, nor has any influential editorial page weighed in. Republican members of Congress have not been repeatedly pressed to explain the document”
“We’re learning about it slowly and reluctantly by the Beltway press, which instead of touting the PowerPoint as a smoking gun that reveals the GOP’s proudly anti-democratic ways, is treating the demented proposal as an oddity that doesn’t require much attention.”
