my latest—the imbalance is on purpose; pressrun.media/p/why-does-the…
a recent NYT midterm election story quoted 14 GOPs, 0 Dems.

wut???
“By the way, any reporter in 2022 who finds themselves inside an Ohio diner interviewing Trump supporters should stop and ask, why?”
“Time and again reporters simply hand over the reins
to the GOP, let them spread misinformation, gently suggest to news consumers that the allegations may not be true, and then shut out Democratic voices, denying them an opportunity to weigh in on the political attacks”

weird

Haberman *just* wrote an article abt how Trump taking 15 boxes of docs from WH was honest mistake due to “hasty exit” in Jan 2017, but she knew he was flushing docs down toilet?
why wasn’t flushing docs down toilet included in NYT article????

also, @deanbaquet’s shop is a mess
this is why NYT fired its public editor, so reporters wouldn’t have to answer questions like this

NYT frames Trump illegally taking docs from WH as being an honest mistake
classic Maggie work

textbook example of how Trump absolutely plays DC

complying w/ archives rules has historically been a “gentlemen’s agreement.” so Trump simply shreds the protocol and pays absolutely no price

wash, rinse, repeat
in the past, shredding DC protocols meant getting hammered in the press

Trump shred so often press got bored, stopped holding him accountable
when Clinton’s left WH and took some items w/ them NEW YORK TIMES LOST ITS MIND FOR FIVE WEEKS

different rules for Dems

my latest— what a mess
“Spotify’s unfolding Rogan fiasco comes as the company does deep damage to its own brand by steadfastly defending a chronic purveyor for right-wing lies and hate; a modern-day Rush Limbaugh.”
