Replying to Avatar William Lindsey :toad:

"Jonathan Swan, Ruth Igielnik, Shane Goldmacher and Maggie Haberman just reported for the New York Times not about how Trump’s indictments make his candidacy a grotesque farce, but about the 'upside-down reality' shared by many Republican voters, 'where criminal charges act as political assets.'

The incomparability between the Trump and Biden 'scandals' is almost too obvious to mention, but not mentioning it in a story about the Hunter Biden case is journalistically criminal."

"The New York Times has never apologized for its Clinton email coverage. Maybe it will someday. Maybe the political media writ large will eventually learn the lesson of 2016, and stop getting played by a bad-faith Republican scandal machine. Or maybe that will be the lesson of 2024. Again."

nostr:npub1lzz05275zkk6zwuzel45jusr74ftyyuah8zll8vl09k98w8smy7qedjhl3 I don't think anyone really understands how to do "balanced" reporting when there is a narcissist in the story, but I agree that the press is far too cautious to maintain the appearance of balance rather than the actuality of fairness.
