this is way too timid.

why can’t WP just come out and be honest that this is all made up nonsense
god grief, if Dems and liberals ever conspired to push a “scandal” as idiotic and dishonest as this one you’d be sure WP wouldn’t tip toe around the fact check
we have the **presumptive GOP nominee** out spreading lies about being "spied on" and suggesting people be killed because of, and the Wash Post can't level w/ its readers?
this is what it looks like when DC press refuses to learn a single lesson over last 5 yrs

so for a story on Dems woes, AP goes to a town in PA that voted 75% for Trump

when is AP going to go to Bronx and do story on how unpopular GOP is in urban areas?
statistically, you cannot find a less important voting block than white voters in sparsely populated rural counties

press

oh look, US economy remains red hot; bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
“U.S. retail sales rebounded by more than forecast with the biggest gain since March, as Americans kept spending through a Covid-19 spike and hot inflation to help drive the economic recovery.”
press just cannot bury the Biden Boom

Oh

<Contrary to reports, nowhere in Durham's filing does he state that lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a tech company to "infiltrate" servers belonging to Trump Tower and later the White House.>
that should be the ABC lede, not tucked in the 23rd paragraph
btw, Sussman’s filing to dismiss the case this week is going to be 🔥

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

a recent NYT midterm election story quoted 14 GOPs, 0 Dems.

“By the way, any reporter in 2022 who finds themselves inside an Ohio diner interviewing Trump supporters should stop and ask, why?”
