For anyone who doesn’t want to read the whole article, the jackass from Axios who wrote the piece about the Biden administration covering up his decline spoke and shamed the media for not covering that story sooner. Meanwhile, hardly anyone mentioned Trump at all. Sniveling cowards, indeed.

What’s killing me is how many outlets are reporting that interview by saying things like “Reporter fact checks Trump to his face” and other bs. He did no such thing. Man, we really need a Mike Wallace or Edward R. Murrow right now.
They’ll only get one shot at it, too. He goes with people he doesn’t consider to be left-leaning, and constantly trots out the victim card when reporters aren’t “nice,” women are inherently “nasty,” and critiques questions instead of giving an actual answer. Anyone who doesn’t kiss up is cast as hostile or attacking him, and whatever company they work for gets the “not very good” or “nobody pays attention to you” unsolicited review.
TBH, I’d rather see a supercut of his childish behavior in a short video from Meidas Touch or even The Lincoln Project. Anything that shows him as being weak, whiny, or clueless will do.
I think there’s a good chance Meidas Touch will compile such a video. I haven’t subscribed, but I think I need to - my best aunt and I have been trading MT and BB emails since mid-summer last year. I’m very impressed by how much MT has grown. It’s doing better than the so many right-wing outlets.
I don’t care if he’s a serial killer, he’s still entitled to due process. Without that, they can accuse any of us of doing anything at any time and ship us off to CECOT.
Precisely. Every time they produce new “evidence” the shouted response should be “then bring him back and present this in court!”
If even half of the “evidence” they’ve presented in the court of public opinion is true, then they’ve got an open-and-shut case against him. [narrator: that means it’s all bullshit]
What disturbs me as much as the NYT platforming them are the BlueSky posts amplifying/spreading these opinions. It occurred to me while reading this one:
Information about the authors of these opinions should be front and center - not alluded to, buried, or left out completely. IMO, this is a disservice to the readers who turn to alternative sources to avoid clicking on content from the NYT. The authors of the complaints put a lot of effort into refuting excerpts to confirm that a published opinion is terrible. Readers have no idea who wrote it so they can avoid additional terrible takes from those writers in the future. The only way to discover that is to click the link.
It makes me question if the folks complaining about the NYT truly oppose that outlet. The stock (under NYT) doesn’t seem to be hurting at all (in comparison to say, Tesla or Target). Just like X, people won’t stop going there - keeping the platform going and the profits flowing.
Normally, this thread is about politics, but this is really interesting. There have been several stories about Coogler’s contract with the studio for Sinners, with a lot of industry analysts predicting this contract will destroy the studios. This article, in spite of the fact that this is The NY Times, does a good job calling this out for the bs it is.
