Serious question: What is it going to take to get the press to ask Donald Trump the questions of fitness and cognitive capacity that they’re asking Biden at every opportunity?

If I knew it was considered legitimate journalism to recite polls and repeatedly say “why are you still losing?” I’d have saved myself the years getting my PhD in Political Science.

My favorite part of the West Wing fantasies about replacing Biden is the idea that there wouldn’t immediately be a new fatal flaw with whoever replaced him.

"many elite supporters" but no one on the record - excuse the language, but this is so fucking irresponsible. Are you an insider with relevant information? We get that you have jobs and reputations you think are important. But we're barreling towards a Trump presidency w/o institutional guardrails.

Extremely frustrating to hear legal experts analyzing the SCOTUS ruling on immunity like just another case - it's an inherently normalizing act. People need to stop playing constitutional Calvinball and treat them like political actors.

100%. (And to be clear, I support journalism— I subscribe to WaPo and LA Times and donate to ProPublica. I’d subscribe to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette but don’t care for their ideological orientation and my understanding is they have lots of union issues.)

Yeah. Also the dude’s entire comment read like he’d never heard of nytpitchbot. My personal growth was not engaging.

I was so confused by the points he was trying to make. (I also want to emphasize he’s not a New Yorker, so it’s not his local paper.) He ended with “I hope you feel good about yourself.” Not gonna lie, after deleting the comment and unfriending him, I did feel better about myself.

LOL a pretentious guy I did ‘04 campaigning with and went to Cal (but wasn’t friends) with got pissy online about my NYT unsubscribing: it’s “ridiculous” to say they’re anti-Biden or engaged in whataboutism and we don’t have good *local* journalism because too many people like me don’t support NYT.

I don't post often on Substack, but today felt like a good day to write about my decision to cancel my @nytimes.com subscription. I'd been wanting to for a while, but the last straw was them publishing the "hey, you don't need to vote" nonsense. Enjoy!

Trump organized an insurrection, got some of his closest allies and hundreds of supporters jailed for it, got impeached and indicted in multiple criminal cases for it, ended the US's tradition of peaceful transitions of power, and last week promised he'd do it all again. And this is the headline.

I thought it would be hard to cancel my NYT subscription, but it’s liberating. I kept coming back to Gary Segura’s remarks several years ago on its bothsidesism. “I fear we’ll see the headline ‘Trump declares military dictatorship. Schumer and Pelosi intemperate in their response.’”

After seeing this unpatriotic horseshit excuse for an op-ed that the New York Times published today, I finally did it. I canceled my subscription. (It was a long time coming.)
