the thing that has changed big time is most of the media companies are owned by straight up MAGA chuds doing outright propaganda. the NYT is one of the few that has old fashioned MSM brain bsky.app/profile/pope...
I just logged on to the New York Times and it's no where above the fold. It's not on the virtual front page at all, although cheesecake factory gate still is.

Someone whose comment he will see should tell @maddenifico.bsky.social that this is a fake Trump post, so he deletes his post with the screenshot.
Removing this deranged lunatic from office is no longer debatable. It is the absolute duty of every patriotic, democracy-loving American to ensure that Congress makes this priority number one: expel this treasonous piece of shit before he inflicts any further damage to our country.

It's okay to call a drag queen existing a pedophile. It's not okay to point out the president was friends with a notorious pedophile, the vice president is a flunky of one of that pedophile's close friends, their top donor, the wealthiest man in the world wanted to be friends with that pedophile,

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.
For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

Bolsonaro had planned to flee to Argentina right before his passport was confiscated
Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

If Kennedy’s larger point is that some political cultures are associated with an unfriendly attitude to knowledge that might be slightly more persuasive if he was not a MAGA anti-vax ideologue who is undermining the largest US research center (NIH) as part of a broader assault on higher education

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

have they ever fucked up in the opposite direction, quoting some guy they say is a rando but is actually a dem operative? why is it always republicans?
There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.
This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up. Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking. The media response is "yawn."
