    He and Stephen Miller both look like they would fabulously wear a peaky black hat with a plastic visor and a skull on it.

    This may be old news to some here, but I just finished listening to Behind the Bastards' series on how Liberal Media Supported (the OG) Nazis. I know there are problems now and we all saw 2016 but there aren't enough characters to hide all the swearing I did listening to how the NY Times, Boston, and others did to prop up and talk about Hitler and company in such a positive light, knowing the truth but wanting money and access instead.

    A lot of parallels with journalists covering Trump's administration and more. Just ...wtaf man? Like.....WTF!?!?!?!?!

    Anyway....highly recommend if you want your blood pressure to sky rocket.

    It was not just the Trump administration. It was estimated that Trump got the equivalent of $2B of free media in 2016.
    $2 Billion Worth of Free Media for Donald Trump

    I swear when I get get lead to the camps there's going to either be zero media coverage even though it'll be in the open, or debate about whether the smart phone coverage is made by AI or not and they'll be relying on Administration officials to confirm the AI story.

    Here’s a kinda sorta study.

    This summer, TFNYT has had a host of opinion pieces about various major events, like the debate. They of course use the op ed writers in their employ, but they also used outside writers. Every essay by an outside writer was from a conservative. 36 for 36.

    I read someone describe TFNYT’s political coverage as “prestige clickbait.”

    Love that phrase…at first blush it seems succinct and accurate.

    TFNYT has a co tributing article about the books banned from the Naval Academy. Memorializing the Holocaust is gone, Mein Kampf is there. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is gone, but Camp of the Saints (noted as a fave of Stephen Miller) is there. (Best short description of the book is it’s the French version of The Turner Diaries.)

    The point is that anti DEI isn’t about a color blind society but about white supremacy.

    So how does TFNYT incorporate this into other parts of their coverage?

    “conservative activist and writer”

    I mean, in a roundabout way, I guess they’re right since it’s impossible now to separate conservatism from racism.

    Some conservatives and Republicans voted for Harris, because of Trump's existential threat to this country.

    We often listen to The Daily, because it’s on when we eat and clean up afterwards. But not yesterday. They put him on, the host implied, because yesterday they had Princeton’s President on.

    Now, I would have gladly listened if they had been on at the same time (Rufo would have been torched) or if I had the least bit of confidence that the NYT would adk,”hey, out of curiosity, remember after Claudine Gay stepped down and you crowed that you were going to bust every academic who ever plagiarized… how many did you catch? None? I wonder why.

    WaPo says people didn’t vote for Trump’s tariffs.

    But of course they did.

    There are two related problems in today’s media coverage of politics.

    The media can’t be honest about what the fascists are doing because then they’d have to also be honest about how degraded our politics have become, what with having a fascist federal govt at the moment.

    And the media can’t be honest about voters because doing so would mean having to grapple with the fact that we elected a fascist president. No Russia interference this time, and no “how bad could it be to elect him” either. We chose him. What does that say about us?

    The NYT discusses the emoluments clause of the Constitution as only it can

    “strains bounds of propriety” is pretty close to peak sane washing. Or peak fascist washing.

    But it's OK for every foreign delegation to visit Washington and stay at a Trump-owned hotel. And the secret service guys, they need rooms too. By the way, the rate is now triple the normal price...

    Journo wonders how he got fooled by JD Vance.

    The answer is, because his bias wouldn’t allow him to see what schmucks like us saw immediately, because for Packer to have seen it would mean something else: the Republican Party is beyond redemption. And if one of only two parties in America is beyond redemption, then American democracy is broken, and he has wasted and/or failed at his career. No, better to write an article about how Vance fooled him.
