Politico wrote up Zohran playing basketball with the uncovering-a-big-scandal tone the same day the NYTimes wrote up "credible allegation that The President of the United States raped a woman" as a political strategy story. Broken media in a nutshell

Huge headlines around the world. In major US media, unreported. Something's fishy here.

A thing I think about a lot is how whenever Trump is accused of rape (as he often is), his defense is always some form of “She’s not my type,” admitting that there’s a type he’d definitely rape.

Not on the New York Times home page apparently, but it is on the People home page.

Because fascist scapegoats must be both dehumanized and seen as a threat for the demonstration of oppression their control by intimidation requires. bsky.app/profile/kevi...

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.

Here's the excerpt I think @kyledcheney.bsky.social meant to append:

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

Unless I missed it, this has already fallen off the home page. I had to use the search function.

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

I am calling for the appointment of an independent special counsel who can immediately investigate and prosecute Epstein’s co-conspirators, and am demanding the federal government fully cooperate with state and foreign prosecutors requesting evidence. Survivors deserve justice NOW.

I would love to live in a world where "President faces new rape allegation" isn't treated like a dog bites man story in the major media.

Wasn’t it kind of established as likely that both she and Elon didn’t “do it the right way?”

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.
