Can someone tell me where NYT hid Trump's attempts to disown Heritage's fascist project? I mean, holy hell, that's the only reporting on Trump they do anymore?

If Democrats are confused about how to handle tough questions about their nominee's fitness for office, they can just look at the thousands of examples of Republicans avoiding, deflecting, and redirecting similar questions about Trump over the past 8 years.

clinton was getting his ass kicked by limbaugh just on *talk radio* before fox news *existed*. the most powerful people in the dem party's response to media as an issue has been "vote to make it extremely easy for billionaires to buy up all the radio, tv, news, internet" and "mope about it".

as always, the obama '08 campaign is the key thing i point to when people talk about how Unfair the media is. it was extremely unfair how the GOP, the media, and hillary clinton herself were extremely racist to him. if his media strategy was 'mope about shit being unfair', probably would've lost.

feels like part of the longstanding trend of "complain about the media, but never do anything about it other than Hope They're Nice To Us" from democrats is that a lot of 'em find the shittiness of the media convenient when they want to knife somebody else in the party

Biden has been the most successful progressive president in half a century and the current “progressive” line is that he should immediately resign in disgrace at the insistence of the New York Times. Can you not see how this is an insane hysteria? How social media has completely broken you

It's different because it was MUCH later in the campaign, but FWIW, 24 representatives, 15 senators, and 7 governors said they wouldn't vote for Trump or called on him to get out after the Access Hollywood tape in 2016. Obviously, he stayed in. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
