my latest—he’s Ken Starr II, the press should treat him that way;

another partisan GOP conducting a Clinton witch hunt.
“The bad news is the same elite news outlets are stepping lightly around the real story at the center of the right-wing mob — the unethical nature of Durham’s work and how he’s clearly working with the far right to try to manufacture controversy where none exists.”
“The NYT dissected the phony spying claims, but its woefully soft headline claimed the right-wing “narrative” was merely “off track.” A Washington Post report suggested Trump’s claims were built on “inaccurate Durham reporting,” which makes the whole thing sound innocuous.”

“I don’t have regrets about the Hillary Clinton e-mail stories.”

stunning lack of introspection from NYT executive editor

newyorker.com/news/the-new-y…
this is exactly why @deanbaquet fired the paper’s public editor after 2016 campaign

the strategy was to circle the wagons and to force entire newsroom to sign off on collective denial re: one of the worst journalism failures of this generation

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

but
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.”

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 🔥

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?
