Really cannot emphasize just how disinterested the media is in the whole "coup-attempting authoritarian vows to remake nation if given second chance" storyline. It bores them. They don't care. This, though, this is their pompous, petty-ass wheelhouse.

Surely reporters will be asking Trump and his campaign to identify the things on Project 2025 he disagrees with and what part are "absolutely ridiculous and abysmal" His own people wrote the fucking thing. So get the answers. Obsess over this for a change

- Biden's mental health, or Democrats in disarray. That's EASY, because it's opinion. It's blather. It's nonsense. But we should absolutely be calling them out on the fact that they clearly don't want to do the work and actually dive into some of what should really be talked bout.

Where are the pundits weighing in on Project 2025's training academy, and just who they're recruiting, and what exactly they're teaching in this training academy? (By unverified accounts, it's all terrifying, especially because it's so structured?) It's so, so easy for a pundit to opine about-

Where are the columnists who are experts in specific fields, breaking down what the Heritage Foundation + Trump want to do to each individual federal agency? E.g. I read the section dedicated to our intelligence agencies, and had to stop, since I was starting to feel a little nauseous.

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

The DC press likes easy scandals and horse race coverage. They will be on this for awhile. If they were actually interested in policy or whatever we’d be in a very different place.

Well @amandamarcotte.bsky.social nailed it
Trump just wrote "I know nothing about Project 2025"
Of course, he's lying. Key players from his team, like Miller and Vought, are on the Advisory Board. McEntee said they'd "intergrate" their work
That's he's trying to create distance is a huge tell

Biden “has been competently boring, passing a roster of better than anticipated legislative achievements that have led to low unemployment, low fuel prices, massive infrastructure investment & now-declining inflation. This is great for America but it sucks for the bank accounts of most journalists.”

If Biden can't campaign he should consider passing the torch, but the elite press (and especially the NYT) is desperately trying to will this into existence. And it's really gross. (2/2)

Biden's age and poor debate showing is obviously a legit story, but what we've seen over the last week is a hysterical feeding frenzy aimed at some combination of self-vindication, settling old scores, claiming a scalp, and the desire of some in the media to have Trump back in power. (1/2)
