Reading a story about the election that casually referred to "Biden's slide in the polls" and it just remains remarkable to me that narrative reporters can just drop stuff like that into copy and never think twice about whether it has any basis in fact.

The way this plank in the GOP platform glides effortlessly from “we will protect everyone’s religious liberty” to “OMG there’s a vicious conspiracy afoot (by unnamed other faiths) to destroy Christianity and we will put an end to it” is pretty remarkable.

Been thinking about the Claudine Gay coverage as a keystone to Biden coverage : it was an editorial campaign driven by story after story. It takes enormous editorial hubris to be certain they are right (they were wrong about Gay).

We fixate on the Times a lot and I am sure that gets old. But it is not just because it is representative of the media, or a leader that sets the tone (though it is both of those things), it is, increasingly, a large chunk of the national media.

Marco Rubio was asked on CNN if he was comfortable with SCOTUS's immunity ruling when he—in opposing conviction in Trump’s impeachment trial in 2021—said “history and if necessary the courts” should judge Trump's actions on Jan. 6. He dodged the question, accusing Dems of weaponizing prosecutions.

Not everyone has gotten that the piece I wrote below is satire. It is, intended to convey how the media would cover Biden denying connections with his closest aides. But the reality is that when Trump does it, it barely merits a mention. NYT front page is all Biden. Trump's lies not covered.

Trump’s tax law cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. What did corporations do with the money saved? They didn’t invest it or raise wages. They spent a record $1 trillion on stock buybacks the year after the law went into effect. Nothing trickled down to workers.

This is the fundamental problem we’re facing, with Biden, with Trump, with politics. We spend many hours a day consuming media. But the content of that media is increasingly determined not by WHAT IS TRUE, but by WHAT EARNS AUDIENCE ATTENTION. Factoids are harvested and rebuilt into those stories.

Journalism is supposed to hold power accountable. The NY Times chooses instead to flex power, endangering us all.
Trying to force Biden aside by creating a movement for his ouster out of whole cloth only makes Trump’s election more likely.

The other thing is that it’s so lawless a decision that it cannot be respected as precedent. It feels like a Supreme Court that succeeds this one should ignore its rule against advisory opinions to immediately overturn this one without waiting for a case to come up to do it.
